Venezuela's Essequibo Referendum Sparks Tensions and Legal Dispute with Guyana
Venezuela is holding a referendum on whether to establish a new state in the disputed Essequibo territory, which has significant oil reserves and has been a source of tension with Guyana for over a century. The International Court of Justice is considering Guyana's request to validate a 1899 decision giving it control over Essequibo, and Guyana has asked the court to stop the referendum, claiming it violates international law. This situation comes amidst domestic challenges in Venezuela, including a food and medicine shortage crisis and political tensions, and is seen by some as an attempt by President Maduro to distract from local politics.
