Antony Blinken offers 'unwavering support' for Guyana amid Venezuelan annexation plan
Quick Glance: Venezuelans Approve Takeover of Oil-Rich Region in Guyana
- Venezuelans voted overwhelmingly to approve the takeover of an oil-rich region in Guyana, escalating a long-standing territorial dispute.
- The area in question, the densely forested Essequibo region, comprises about two-thirds of Guyana’s national territory and is roughly the size of Florida.
- The referendum aimed to create a Venezuelan state in the Essequibo region, provide its population with Venezuelan citizenship, and incorporate that state into the map of Venezuelan territory.
- Although the vote’s result was widely expected within Venezuela, its practical implications are likely to be minimal, with the creation of a Venezuelan state within the Essequibo a remote possibility.
