Venezuelan Gangs Fire at Guyanese Troops Near Essequibo Border | Firstpost America | N18G
Tensions between Guyana and Venezuela have escalated after armed men from Venezuela attacked Guyanese soldiers along the Cuyuni River. Six troops were injured, two critically, during a resupply mission ambushed by suspected gang members. The Guyana Defence Force vowed to defend its borders, while Venezuelan officials dismissed the attack as false propaganda. The incident comes amid the ongoing dispute over the mineral-rich Essequibo region, which Venezuela claims was unfairly taken in the 1890s. Despite a 2023 summit where leaders pledged peace, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has threatened annexation. With rising hostility and no resolution in sight, the situation remains dangerously volatile.
