Venezuelan border violence fails to stop aid deliveries as soldiers defectThe violence comes as the opposition begins making good on its high-risk plan to deliver humanitarian aid to Venezuela, despite objections from President Nicolas Maduro, and several soldiers deserted at the Colombian border. MCaruso_Cabrera RaniaKhalek Aidayespica27 Jennipher23 Should the CIA stooge Guaido and his white supremacists grab power, it will be the 68th overthrow of a sovereign government by the United States, most of them democracies. A fire sale of Venezuela's utilities and mineral wealth will surely follow, along with the theft of its oil. This is shameful reporting. Who started the 'border violence'? How is a declared US coup attempt just 'aid'? Huge majority of soldiers in Venezuela support the democratically elected govt. YOU journalists are war criminals. TheirABC

'Presidential caravan': Venezuelan army stops Guaido on way to aid effortMaduro has started closing the nation's entry points while his soldiers soldiers blocked the movements of self-proclaimed interim president Juan Guaido. Guaido is not a self-proclaimed president. He followed a mandate in the Constitution. Guaido is the legitimate President at the moment and is holding the position while there are truly democratic conditions for a free election. Please top calling him “self-proclaimed”, the Venezuelan constitution says that as President of the National Assembly he needs to take the role as a “caretaker” President until new elections, given that Maduro’s term ended on 5 January.
