Guyana authorities spoke on Thursday for attacks ‘Armed Forces with politics’ against patrols of the armed forces on the border with Venezuela, in EskimbusPrefecture rich in oil deposits, border conflict between the two Latin American states.
The attacks were announced as Venezuela is expected to be held on May 25th on May 25th, with the specialty that the prefect will be set up for the first time and eight MPs who will represent it for the first time.
“In the last 24 hours, armed with political clothing on the Bank of Venezuelan along the Kuyouni River, between Etringbang and Macapa, committed three distinct attacks” against Guiana soldiers “patrolling the river”according to a press release of the Armed Forces.

The conflict for Eskimbos, a prefecture of an area of ​​some 160,000 square kilometers, which is two -thirds of the Guiana surface, but is claimed by Venezuela, was rekindled when Exxonmobil announced the detection of huge oils in 2015.
In 2023, Venezuela held a referendum on Eskimbos, reaffirming the claim of the area.
Venezuela believes that an agreement signed in 1966 with the British at Geneva – Before Guyana’s independence – is the foundation of negotiations, without mixing of the International Court of Justice (DD) in The Hagueand insists that the Eskimbos River must be the natural border of the two countries, as was the case in 1777, at a time when the area was a Spanish colony.
Guyana opens for her part that the border, which had been engraved at the time when the area was a British colony, were ratified in 1899 by a dietary decision of Paris and called for the IMF to reaffirm the power of that decision.
In addition, the DSC released by Georgown, has called Venezuela to “It is far from the organization of elections, or the preparation for the election organization, in this claimed area. “
