Here's some Qatari propaganda about Venezuela.
( the RT-bashers will understand )
Venezeula's president Nicolas Maduro is battling to remain in power amid a direct challenge to his leadership by the head of the country's National Assembly. Juan Guaido declared himself interim president on Wednesday, during anti-government protests in the capital Caracas.
Maduro ordered US diplomats to leave the country soon after President Donald Trump announced his support for Guaido on Twitter. But while regional powers Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile and Peru are among those joining the US in backing Guaido’s declaration, the Venezuelan military has continued to stand behind Maduro.
Russia, Turkey, China, Cuba and Bolivia have reaffirmed their support for him. Life has grown ever-harder for Venezuelans over the last year. Food and essential medicine is scarce, security is poor and hyperinflation has left people struggling to cover even the most basic necessities. All the while people are continuing to flee the country - the UN estimates 5.3 million will have left by the end of the year.
Economic sanctions imposed by the US have hit exports of Venezuelan oil and gold. Amid one of the biggest crises of Maduro's presidency and with the country at a crossroads, what lies in store for millions of Venezuelans ?
