International leaders are raising alarms after U.S. forces conducted strikes in Venezuela and detained Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife this week. The move has sparked widespread calls for diplomacy over military intervention.
Six nations—Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Spain, and Uruguay—issued a joint statement on Sunday (January 4, 2026), condemning the operation as a violation of international law. 🔥 "Such actions set an extremely dangerous precedent," the statement warned, emphasizing risks to regional stability and civilian safety.
The coalition stressed that Venezuela’s political future must be determined "exclusively by peaceful means" through dialogue and respect for the will of its people. 🌱 No official U.S. response has been released yet, but analysts say tensions could ripple across Latin America and impact global energy markets.
Young activists worldwide are amplifying calls for de-escalation on social media, with hashtags like #HandsOffVenezuela trending. Meanwhile, the UN Security Council is expected to hold an emergency session this week.
