Venezuela: Venezuelan troops fired tear gas at protesters unable to cross into Colombia on Saturday after President Nicolas Maduro closed the border to stop the opposition bringing US humanitarian aid into the nation.



Venezuela, February 23

Venezuelan troops fired tear gas at protesters unable to cross into Colombia on Saturday after President Nicolas Maduro closed the border to stop the opposition bringing US humanitarian aid into the nation. The protesters burnt tyres in the border town of Urena, as attention turned to whether National Guard troops stationed at the border crossing would fulfill Maduro’s orders to block humanitarian aid from reaching sick and hungry population.
