Clashes erupted along the Venezuela-Columbia and Venezuela-Brazil borders this weekend as forces loyal to Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro worked to block protesters and Venezuelan citizens from accessing trucks full of aid supplies, including medicine and food.
CNN reports that aid from the United States, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom “is piling up” along both borders following an order from Maduro to seal off roadways from both Columbia and Brazil, preventing the aid shipments from reaching Venezuelans, more than 10% of whom are said to be starving. Maduro believes the aid is a precursor to a United States-led coup designed to pull him from power and replace him with opposition leader Juan Gerardo Guaidó Márquez.
