Venezuela Threatens to Annex Guyana Territory
Venezuela has declared sovereignty over Estequibo, a resource-rich part of Guyana, and has authorized oil and gas exploration in the territory. This move has raised concerns about a potential conflict and nationalistic sentiment stirred up by President Nicolas Maduro in advance of the upcoming presidential elections. The international community has been pushing for free and fair elections in Venezuela, but Maduro has already blocked the popular opposition candidate from running.
