Share via WhatsApp
A recent US operation within Venezuela is facing scrutiny following claims from the Cuban government that 32 Cuban citizens were killed during the raid. Details surrounding the operation remain limited, but reports indicate it was aimed at supporting opposition forces attempting to remove the current Venezuelan leadership.
The Cuban government has strongly condemned the action, characterizing it as a violation of sovereignty and a direct attack on its citizens. Venezuela’s government has echoed these sentiments, labeling the operation a ‘cowardly kidnapping’ and a breach of international law.
Analysts suggest the operation, reportedly initiated at the behest of opposition figures, could set a dangerous precedent, potentially emboldening authoritarian regimes globally. Concerns are mounting regarding the legality of the US intervention, with legal experts questioning whether it adhered to international legal frameworks. The US has not yet officially confirmed the extent of its involvement or responded to the casualty claims. The situation remains volatile, with potential for further escalation and significant geopolitical ramifications.
