ALBA, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America, just dropped a 🔥 statement condemning the US military assault on Venezuela in the early hours of Jan 3.
It called the action "illegal military aggression," saying it violates the UN Charter and threatens peace across Latin America and the Caribbean 🌎. ALBA's voice is loud: they want President Nicolas Maduro released immediately, no strings attached.
Reports say explosions rocked Caracas before Maduro and his wife were flown out of the country 🚁. Governments in Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba and Russia have also slammed the operation as a blatant breach of sovereignty.
This development raises big questions about international norms and regional stability. For young change-makers in South and Southeast Asia, it's a reminder of how global flashpoints can impact peace everywhere ✌️.
We'll keep watching how this plays out and what it means for future US-Latin America relations.
