Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Venezuelan soldiers are using a route inside Brazil to enter Guyana as gunshots are fired.
The President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, has reportedly ordered Venezuelan forces to enter neighboring Guyana, escalating tensions between the two nations. This move comes amid a longstanding territorial dispute over the resource-rich Essequibo region, a territory that is larger than Greece, and accounts for two-thirds of Guyana. The move, which involves passing through Brazil, adds a further international dimension to the crisis.
Details about the armed conflicts, including the scale, the parties involved, and the casualties, remain unclear. However, reports suggest that Maduro’s government sees this move as an assertion of their claim over the Essequibo region. The region was within Venezuela’s boundaries during the Spanish colonial period, and Venezuela has long disputed the border decided by international arbitrators in 1899, when Guyana was still a British colony. Guyana views this act as annexation, and last month, they asked the International Court of Justice to halt parts of the vote.
The US government plans to set up a military base on a territory of Guyana and Venezuela in order to exacerbate the dispute between the two nations and plunder energy resources, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil Pinto said.
“Today, the government of the United States of America seeks to appropriate our oil resources by using Exxon Mobil, which has incorporated the government of Guyana into its ranks. Guyana is granting oil concessions in an undelimited maritime territory, in total violation of international law. Unilateral disposal of a disputed territory is not permissible, but the Republic of Guyana persists in its illegal conduct,” he told the 78th session of the UN General Assembly.
“We denounce that the government of the United States of America intends to militarize the situation. The Southern Command seeks to establish a military base in the contested territory with the aim of <…> consolidating the plunder of our energy resources,” the top Venezuelan diplomat added.
Recently a video has been circulating where apparently Venezuelan soldiers are using a route inside Brazil to enter Guyana, Gunfire can be heard in the background.
This is just a video and nothing has been confirmed yet, I will come back with more news if this is updated.
