The number of duplicate nodes in Colombia has risen rapidly in the last 
few days. I haven checked who exactly is importing what but it is clear 
that we're seeing an import problem here:

http://matt.dev.openstreetmap.org/dupe_nodes/?zoom=7&lat=4.08226&lon=-72.01253&layers=BT

Please stop that and get your tools in order before you continue. I 
don't want to sound harsh but a humanitarian crisis is not an excuse for 
dumping rubbish into OSM. If whoever is importing something doesn't know 
how to avoid duplicate nodes, leave it be and seek help from those who do.

Bye
Frederik
