Venezuela in flames, Maduro stops aid: clashes and victims

The situation in Venezuela is precipitating. Nicolas Maduro, the de facto ousted president, closed the border with Brazil and stopped international humanitarian aid, ordering food parcels arriving from abroad to be set on fire. The move sparked a popular uprising and sparked clashes between supporters of the dictators and opponents, with security forces firing tear gas canisters at protesters resulting in hundreds of injuries and also four deaths, according to news agencies. After this latest tragic affront, Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidò says he will ask the international community to keep "all options open" in the fight to oust President Nicolas Maduro. Yesterday evening the opposition leader, proclaimed himself interim president and recognized by several Western countries, tweeted: "Today's events forced me to make a decision: to formally propose to the international community to maintain all available options to free this country, which is fighting and will continue to fight".
