A demonstrator throws stones at Venezuelan National Guard troops on the border with Brazil at Pacaraima, Roraima state, on February 24, 2019
Four people were killed in the melee as Maduro’s forces prevented the 178 metric tonnes of rice, beans and other food from crossing into the country from Colombia. The leftist strongman says the aid is a pretext for a US-led invasion. The United States also revoked the visas of 49 Venezuelan officials and their family members, the State Department said.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, receiving Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez in Moscow, said Russia was stepping up shipments of wheat and was considering sending more medical supplies after shipping 7.5 tonnes. Elliott Abrams, the US special representative on the crisis, charged that Maduro’s forces would turn Russian aid into a “political weapon” by providing it only to supporters.
He alleged that the United States was planning to buy small arms, mortar launchers and shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles from an “Eastern European country” and station them “close to Venezuela.”President Donald Trump has not ruled out military intervention in Venezuela, although even close US allies have said they would not support the use of force.
The U.S.A. is the primary terrorist state on our benighted planet. The sooner its patrician dominance is superseded by China the better. The Gallup poll this week showed the world trusts China more already. This trend is going to continue.
Sentletse The SABC chooses to use the language of calling Democratically Elected Governments the US don't like regimes, the US Propaganda is working.
SABC is still acting like a colonial media, it call the legitimate government of Venezuela 'the Venezuela regime' but it has never called the brutal USA regime which specializes on bombing and threatening other countries and races the USA regime. We call on EFF reform the SABC.
