Caracas, February 5, 2019 (venezuelanalysis.com) – The Lima Group issued a declaration calling on the armed forces to back self-proclaimed “Interim President” Juan Guaido, following a meeting in Ottawa on Monday.
The declaration reaffirming “support and recognition” for Guaido was signed by 11 of the 14 members of the Lima Group, and called for the international community to support Guaido’s efforts at establishing a “government of democratic transition” in Venezuela. Guyana, Saint Lucia, and Mexico, for their part, abstained from the resolution.

It’s been a case of the long goodbye for what’s left of the peace movement in the U.S. On Saturday (January 26, 2019), a small group, very small by historic peace actions go, protested in front of the White House.
Watching the protest and interviews with protest participants on The Real News Network was almost painful. Medea Benjamin’s insightful observations, and a few other people’s, about the ongoing coup against Venezuela were just about the only sane and adult comments in the “room.” Across the globe, the vast majority of governments lined up behind the U.S. administration in its attacks against the people of Venezuela and Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro. The fallen zeitgeist of peace was as clear as it was after September 11, 2001.Read More »
