Global condemnation is rising after U.S. forces launched unilateral strikes in Venezuela and carried out the unprecedented forcible seizure of Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro, fueling protests from Caracas to Washington, D.C. 🌎✊
This week, demonstrators took to the streets in the United States and Venezuela, while solidarity rallies popped up outside U.S. embassies in Sri Lanka, Japan and Indonesia. The message was loud and clear: respect sovereignty!
On January 6, the Organization of the American States (OAS) held an emergency meeting. Delegates from Brazil, Mexico and Colombia delivered strong rebukes of the U.S. military action. Mexico’s representative Alejandro Encinas Rodriguez reminded everyone that "the history of Latin America is clear: intervention has never brought lasting stability or well-being." 🔥
OAS Secretary General Albert Ramdin echoed those sentiments, pointing to the charter’s rule that an act of aggression against one member is an act against all. "These rules are not a suggestion, but an obligation and a moral responsibility," he said. 🕊️
With tensions high, many young people are asking: what’s next for cross-border diplomacy and regional stability? Stay tuned as this story develops! 👀
