US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has reaffirmed US support for Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido and his efforts to oust Nicolas Maduro
Opposition leader Juan Guaido urged Venezuelans to take to the streets on Tuesday as he announced that the final phase of the operation to topple President Nicolas Maduro is underway.Guaido declared himself interim president in January and was backed by the US and dozens of other nations. Since then, Venezuela -- which is mired in a deep political and humanitarian crisis -- has had two men claiming to be president.It's unclear right now.
“It’s great news for the entire country that the military of Venezuela’s armed forces have taken this step. They were an important part of this. This was fundamental not only for a transitioning, but to recover Venezuela’s sovereignty. Here we are next to our legislators, the military and soon with the people of Venezuela. We are determined to conquer freedom for our country,” he said.
Firstly, Guaido appeared alongside members of the military, in number, at dawn, near or in a military base. "We reject this coup movement that tries to fill the country with violence. The traitors that have placed themselves at the head of this subversive movement have employed troops and police with weapons of war in a public street in the city to create anguish and terror,” Diaz-Canel wrote on Twitter.From CNN’s Nick Paton Walsh
