Venezuelans took to the streets of Bogota to protest against President Nicolas Maduro, who was sworn in to a second term on Thursday.

Hundreds chanted and sang protest songs against the controversial leader's re-election. More than a dozen countries across the world have refused to recognize his presidency, which many say is a result of the nation's rampant corruption.

The swearing in came as Venezuela suffers from inflation and dire shortages of basic necessities, medical supplies and electricity, leading to a crisis that has a mass migration of Venezuelans fleeing to neighboring Colombia and other countries.

In the city of Bogotá, Venezonalos who live in the city protested in front of the consulate of their country against the possession of Nicolás Maduro.
