   Colombia: in 2020–2023 net migration was higher than all 12 UN projections assumed

   The 2022 projection, for example, expected that in 2023 175k more people would leave than arrive; by the UN's current estimate, 155k more arrived than left. Projections 1998–2022 are all checked against the same recent years, so they are not 12 independent tests.
