Caracas has been plunged into chaos as Venezuela teeters on the brink of collapse following a series of shocking events. The South American nation is now in a state of emergency after the US launched a series of strikes against key infrastructure and military installations, while also confirming the capture of President Nicolas Maduro.
Eyewitnesses describe scenes of intense violence and destruction, with widespread power outages and disruptions to basic services such as water and healthcare. The streets are filled with protesters demanding regime change, their chants echoing through the city as they demand an end to what they see as a corrupt and authoritarian government.
The US has long been critical of Maduro's rule, which has been marked by human rights abuses and economic mismanagement. The recent strikes appear to be part of a broader effort to topple the Maduro regime, with many analysts believing that the US is seeking to restore democracy to the region.
However, supporters of the Maduro government have vowed to fight on, accusing the US of intervening in their country's internal affairs. "This is an act of aggression," said a senior official from the Venezuelan government. "We will not be intimidated by foreign powers."
The international community remains divided on how to respond to the crisis, with some calling for sanctions and others advocating for more drastic measures.
For now, the situation in Venezuela remains highly volatile, with many wondering what the future holds for the nation and its people. One thing is clear: the country's economic and humanitarian crisis has reached a breaking point, and it remains to be seen how this will play out.
