I have to say this, but Maduro in secret has creat a military alliance with the Cuban army and also the cubans let the venezuelan army use their intelligence team to track down any oposition leaders or anyone who is a threat to the regime. Yesterday i saw a few videos where some armed man were with there face cover and with AK 47 in hand, this are Cuban army man send as an assistance. As far as i know, the cuban goverment has a strengh relation with Maduro and also Venezuela is sending petrol to Cuba and other things.

Yesterday during the night, Maduro imposed a strict curfew all over the country, they where tanks rolling the streets, police force and military presence with weapons ready to fire, people in motorcycles with weapons firing at houses ( this is a group control by the Maduro regime to impose fear) and also groups of Maduros people rolling the streets at night and trying to get inside peoples houses to rather killed them or threat them with death ( this group of people is still with Maduro, they are the famous colectivos or a group of people that is with Maduro, they where also reports that this people were also the cubans imposing fear around Caracas and the rest of the country).

There is also reports that the Venezuelan army is getting help from the " Black cuban wasps", is an elite force created in Cuba to complet assassination missions and kidnapping depending on the target. Yesterday they kidnapped an oposition leader from another political party and the man involved where show with their face cover. (Some people believe that are the black cuban wasps), unfortunately thats the reality of what is happening in Venezuela and if you ask me, right know Venezuela needs a military intervention, or by the US or other nation, because the Cubans are so station in Venezuela that is impossible to get Maduro out of power.

Also groups of gangs and other little militias, are joining the fight against Maduro, they were gangs uploading videos on social media declaring war against Maduro. Looks like even the bad guys are with the people and they are ready to fight against Maduro.

That is how citizens behave if they don’t trust the government.

No one ever wants to leave their home. Thank you for this powerful report 🙏

[marelizeg]

This Maduro hooligan should be behind bars for crimes against humanity. New party needs to do what it needs to do to get him to leave.

[aldairdeoliveira]

This is exactly the same thing that happened in Brazil

[Bailemos]

I hate to say this but this may be America come November

[eastbound]

We have a election coming up in Jamaica next year and we are very concerned about the the government in power right now and that the same thing might happen,

If the U.S. assists in restoring Democracy in Venezuela they won’t have to pay for the migrants arriving here. From a common sense stand point it’s cheaper to deal with problems at the source.

[kellarj]

The international community needs to establish a coalition to restore democracy in Venezuela. This crisis extends beyond the interests of Caribbean nations; it’s a problem that will have repercussions around the globe.

Same thing will happen in this upcoming elections USA/Venezuela
