"Abolition of slavery in Venezuela

Afro-Venezuelans played a crucial role in the struggle for independence. Originally, slaves fought for the Crown, believing that the landowning creole Republicans were their enemies. In particular, the notorious royalist battalion of General José Tomás Boves attracted many slave soldiers. Bolívar, realizing the strategic importance of Black soldiers in the fight for independence, declared the abolition of slavery in 1812 and again in 1816, after promising Haitian president Alexandre Pétion that he would secure freedom for slaves in return for Haitian military aid. A major landowner himself, Bolívar freed 1,000 of his own slaves, and in 1819 recruited 5,000 slaves into his army. Many members of cumbes fought on the side of the rebels, and abandoned their villages.[8]"

I thought Lula would have taken a hands off approach, but he sent a multi-state squadron down to the Brazil-Venezuela border, becuause apparently the only viable crossing for a ground invasion passes through Brazil and the government says no foreign troops are gonna be allowed to pass through Brazil. Looks like even leftists aren't gonna ignore Maduro doing any sort of incursion.

From Tupi Report
Venezuela vs. Guyana Conflict: The Brazilian Army has been put on alert after receiving intelligence information regarding a potential invasion by Venezuela into Guyana, which would require the passage of troops through Brazilian territory. As a precaution, the High Command has initiated an emergency mobilization of troops to the border.

Around 16 multitasking armored vehicles (VBMT) from the 5th army division are on high alert to be relocated to Boa Vista, the state capital, on the early morning of last Saturday. In addition to the multitasking armored vehicles and infantry troops, the Army has also set tanks Leopard in motion.

According to a military source stationed in the brigade in Roraima who requested not to be identified, the High Command has been forming dozens of task forces with personnel from various Army units in various regions of the country to plan the operation on the border.

"In 20 years in the barracks, I had never seen this," he said. "They are taking a piece from each operational battalion from every part of Brazil. For example, the light infantry battalions from São Paulo are sending personnel. This information will spread quickly due to the formed groups," the source stated.

U.S. army officials arrive in Guyana as Venezuela prepares for December 3 referendum

Kaieteur News – Defense officials of the United States (U.S.) army are in Guyana and have been engaging the top brass of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) over the last two days. Their engagement with GDF comes as neighbouring Venezuela prepares to move ahead with its planned referendum on December 3 to falsely claim Guyana’s Essequibo.

The U.S. Embassy in Georgetown noted in a press release on Tuesday, “The leadership from the United States Army 1st Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB) and the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) met November 27-28 as part of the United States and Guyana’s strong military to military partnership”.

Discussions, according to the embassy, were centered on “upcoming engagements to include strategic planning sessions and processes to enhance both countries’ military readiness and capabilities to respond to security threats.”

The SFAB Advisors said, “We are thankful for the opportunity to train with the Guyana Defence Force as our partners and friends. We look forward to deepening the partnership in the weeks and months to come.”

In response to the visit, GDF’s Staff Officer One, General Three – Operations and Training – Lieutenant Colonel, Andy Pompey said that Guyana has benefitted tremendously from a previous iteration of U.S. military training here.

“The transfer of knowledge and expertise from our U.S. counterparts under the auspices of the SFAB has equipped our members with invaluable skills that are directly applicable to the dynamic nature of our modern security environment,” Pompey said.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Embassy noted that the U.S. and Guyana enjoy a longstanding security partnership marked by strong collaboration between SOUTHCOM and the GDF.

That partnership, according to the embassy, is focused on disaster preparedness, humanitarian assistance, maritime security, human rights, professional development, defense and public-security missions, and countering transnational crime.

The arrival of the U.S. Defense officials comes days after President Mohamed Irfaan Ali, told residents in the border community of Mabaruma, Region One that two teams from the U.S. Department of Defense would be paying two visits to Guyana.

President Ali’s recent visit to Mabaruma and other border communities was aimed at sensitizing citizens about the border controversy between Guyana and Venezuela and to quell fears among the residents about aggression from the neighbouring country on its claims of the county of Essequibo.

Last week at his weekly press engagement, Vice-President Bharrat Jagdeo also spoke of the U.S. Defense teams visit to Guyana while responding to questions from a reporter on the ongoing tensions between the two countries.

While affirming to the country’s commitment to peace, Jagdeo said that in preparation for potential scenarios, Guyana is exploring various options and actively engaging with allies.

He said in addition to the two teams from the United States Department of Defense, several other visits have been planned in the month of December.

Emphasizing Guyana’s steadfast pursuit of peace, particularly at its borders, Jagdeo reiterated the government’s dedication to exploring all available measures for national defence. Addressing concerns about potential aggression, VP Jagdeo emphasised, “We are not going to succumb to Venezuela’s bullyism,” clarifying that Guyana is focused on protecting its sovereignty through diplomatic means. He stressed that the ongoing border controversy with Venezuela should be resolved peacefully in the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Asserting global support, Jagdeo reminded of the backing from organizations like CARICOM, the Commonwealth, and the Organisation of the American States (OAS), along with major nations such as the United Kingdom (UK).

Moreover, Guyana is currently awaiting the ruling of the ICJ on its request for provisional measures that would block questions relating to the annexation of the Essequibo territory in the upcoming December 3 referendum by the Venezuelan government.

World Court rules on border dispute today

The International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands, will today deliver its “Order on the Request” for provisional measures submitted by Guyana aimed at preventing Venezuela from holding a referendum over the ownership of the oil-rich Essequibo region.

On Sunday, Venezuelans will vote in a referendum on “the rights” to the Essequibo.

The ICJ, also known as the World Court, will rule on the request by Guyana that the referendum be called off during a public sitting which will take place at 3 p.m. at the Peace

Palace in The Hague, the Court said in a statement.

Judge Joan E Donoghue, president of the Court, will read the Court’s Order, the ICJ said earlier this week.

Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro has thrown the full weight of his government into the effort, using patriotic rhetoric to try to summon voters to the polls to answer five questions over the territory, including whether current and future area residents should be granted Venezuelan citizenship.

Guyana sees the referendum as a case of annexation.

Even if the Court rules against Venezuela, Maduro’s government has said it intends to hold the election on Sunday.

The 61,600-square-mile area accounts for two-thirds of Guyana but Venezuela has always considered Essequibo as its own because the region was within its boundaries during the Spanish colonial period, and it has long disputed the border decided by international arbitrators in 1899, when Guyana was still a British colony.

So many violent political events going on in the world right now, while the traditionally stable democratic countries are fighting growing fascism and stupidity from within the government and the electorate itself.

Feels like that quote in LOTR “The board is set, the pieces are moving" as the world powers realigning itself again for a global conflict. Is like peace since WW2 lasting too long for the human evolution monkey tribe genes and getting restless for mass blood again. It's human nature after all. So what will eventually be the nuclear spark? And it definitely wouldn't be as clear cut as Axis and Allies in WW2. More like the factions of the fictional 2026-2053 wars in Star Trek.

LOL.

Maduro should not want to risk more sanctions, though honestly I kinda see Venezuela's historic claim to that land, and if Russia and China backing this (which you can bet your ass they 100% are backing this) then I could see Caracas ordering the annexation.

Really interesting times this......who would have thought we'd see a potential war breakout in our backyard.

You want my opinion which is not backed up by anything other than watching countless youtube videos and going to a few war talks of recent.

Both Russia and China are engaging in a huge propaganda war and supporting these proxy wars. They have numerous politicians bought out including those on the left and right in the US. All over the world.

The cards are being set up strategically and the west, due to democracy is at a huge disadvantage in winning this because war costs money. Supporting Ukraine who seems to be losing right now, has driven up inflation sky high and left wing policies of high taxes are already making this a huge burden.

Slowly, US aligned governments across Europe are losing elections.

What happens next? Who knows, but I can see Russia and China building up military strength that is on parity with the NAOT within 2-3 years time.

That gives them a perfect platform to launch invasions of Ukraine (and possibly the Baltics and Poland, but stopping at Germany) and China taking Taiwan and possibly even going for the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia.

If the west wants to fight that war, they will probably lose.....you can't fight two massive wars like that on two fronts. Europe might be able to fend off Russia who is weak right now.

But Russia's war economy is ramping up, they have not had a draft, and they're supplying lots of weapons from Iran and N. Korea who are happy to do this.

Pushing proxy wars right now, raises oil prices which helps Russia pay for this, and f#%ks over economies of the west badly. OPEC will happily side with Russia on this.

The west is not unified enough to deal with this, Europe alone is sheit show of politicians bought out by Russia, with so much freaking Russian money in Germany, England and Switzerland.....look for those countries, even possibly France to want to pacify Russia.

The liberal west (mostly in the US) has done a really good job of making people think Russia is not a threat, or just a gas station with nukes. Russia can firetruck with supply chains so badly if they really wanted to. (they don't because of money, but they can).

Anyway, the point is Russia and China want to expand without opposition and unless some miracle happens I see the west will simply sit back and spin stories on why China taking Taiwan is a good thing.
