Nicolas Maduro on Sunday held a referendum asking Venezuelans whether they wanted neighboring Guyana Esequiba, disputed for 100 years, to be theirs
Maduro said 95 percent of Venezuelans were in favor of Caracas taking control of the Guyanese land, about the size of Florida and rich in minerals
On Tuesday evening Maduro unveiled a new map showing the territory incorporated into Venezuela, and dispatched a general to the border
Venezuela’s president on Tuesday published a new map showing two thirds of neighboring Guyana ‘reclaimed’ by Caracas – as fears rose that Nicolas Maduro could launch an invasion.
Tensions were escalating between the two countries today as Caracas proposed a bill to create a Venezuelan province in a disputed oil-rich region and ordered the state-owned energy companies to ‘immediately’ begin exploration in the area.
Guyanese President Irfaan Ali called Maduro’s statements a ‘direct threat’ against his country, and rejected the measures announced by his counterpart, who counts Iran, China and Russia among his allies.
