Maduro Alerts of Possible “Provocations” from Colombia and the US Southern Command on the Border

December 1, 2019

The Venezuelan president said that these actions would seek to divert attention from the social protest against the government of Iván Duque.

On Friday, the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, denounced the Colombian government along with the Southern Command for preparing attacks on the Colombian-Venezuelan border.

“I have information that the Colombian government with the Southern Command, will try to divert attention from the popular uprising against Iván Duque and the ‘package’, are thinking of provocations again on the Colombian-Venezuelan border,” he said.

For that reason, the Venezuelan head of state instructed the Bolivarian National Armed Forces to be “on alert and vigilant.” “A set of provocations are intended for armed conflict, looking for an armed skirmish on the border,” he said.
