Latin America's Bolivarian Alliance (ALBA) has vocally condemned a U.S. military operation in Venezuela this week, calling it an 'illegal aggression' that threatens regional stability. The pre-dawn strike on Saturday reportedly targeted Caracas, with explosions prompting Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's emergency evacuation.
Alliance Demands Immediate Action
ALBA's statement accused Washington of violating international law and demanded Maduro's unconditional release, emphasizing that 'peace cannot be achieved through intervention.' The alliance—including Cuba, Bolivia, and Nicaragua—warned of escalating tensions across Latin America.
Global Reactions Pour In
Colombia and Russia joined Venezuela in denouncing the strike, while social media erupted with #HandsOffVenezuela trends. The Venezuelan government called it a '21st-century invasion,' vowing to defend sovereignty. Analysts speculate on potential diplomatic fallout as UN emergency sessions loom.
