Venezuelan Armed Forces are prepared for any scenario in dispute with Guyana

The Minister of Defense of Venezuela, Vladimir Padrino, reiterated this Sunday that the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) is "prepared" for "any scenario" in the midst of the dispute with Guyana over the Essequibo, after both countries met on Thursday and agree not to threaten each other or use force.

«It was possible to return to the path of dialogue to resolve the conflict over the Essequibo territory. "This (...) does not mean at all a minimal renunciation of our claim, of our non-recognition of the International Court of Justice in this matter and much less does it mean that the Bolivarian National Armed Force is not prepared for any scenario," Padrino said.

American citizens imprisoned in Helicoide since 2020 have been released

Sources indicate that they are still being held and waiting for a flight to the US.

At this time, North American citizens Airan Berry and Luke Denman who were political prisoners in Venezuela have already been released from the SEBIN Helicoide base. They have been delivered to the representatives of the United States so that they can leave the country.

However, minutes later, journalists reported that they were returned to their cells.

"There were no problems with the flight, it was because the US did not have the other negotiated party ready and Venezuela already had them in Maiquetía. Mexico will be carried out and today's extradition was for drug trafficking that was not political," said reporter Jesús Medina Ezaine .
