Venezuela Prepares Sham ‘Vote’ to Annex Most of Guyana

Venezuela is preparing to hold a sham referendum that asks voters "what to do" to address a 120-year-old territorial dispute with Guyana.

The ICJ issued a binding ruling on Friday morning ordering Venezuela to “refrain from taking any action which would modify the situation that currently prevails in the territory in dispute.”

Socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro announced in an official statement published on Friday afternoon that, although his regime “takes note” of the ruling, it “does not recognize” the court’s jurisdiction on the Essequibo territorial dispute and will carry out Sunday’s referendum.

The statement also accused Guyana of being a “de facto occupant” of the contested territory and of “facilitating” the future military deployment of “the world’s foremost warmongering power,” insinuating that the United States will soon invade it. The Maduro regime has maintained a virulently anti-American stance for two decades and regularly claims Washington is planning to colonize South America.

Will Venezuela invade Guyana? Maduro stakes claim to oil-rich region

Venezuela on Sunday held a referendum to decide whether to pursue century-old claims to land in neighboring Guyana. Nicolas Maduro said 95 percent voted yes, and has changed the maps.

Venezuela's president on Tuesday published a new map of the region showing two thirds of neighboring Guyana 'reclaimed' by Caracas and ordered the state-owned energy companies to 'immediately' begin exploration in the area, as fears rose that Nicolas Maduro could start a war.
He has appointed a general, Alexis Rodríguez Cabello, as head of the region and on Tuesday dispatched him to the town of Tumeremo, a remote mining town in the jungle, 120 miles from the border.
Guyana has denounced Sunday's referendum as pretext to annex the land: in the days running up to it, the Venezuelan defense minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez, known for his ties to his counterparts in Russia and Iran, posted a video of Venezuela troops on parade, waving flags saying 'Guyana Esequiba', colored in the Venezuelan flag.
Guyana is the only English-speaking country in South America.

Oil was discovered in the disputed region.
Exxon was given the rights to drill it.
Dictator Maduro wants it.
His army is ten times larger with more equipment, so he'll take the land , no matter what the UN says.
His one problem is the his socialist program has left most of this equipment not in working condition.
