#essequibo
Essequibo has been contested since 1899, settled in Guyana’s favor but denied by Venezuela. Resource rich, tensions have heated up again. With firepower massed, this Administration may be angling for a double hit—one militarily, one contractual. Piracy wears many masks.

Since ExxonMobil’s major oil discovery in Guyana in 2015, Venezuela has revived a century-old territorial dispute with Guyana and taken steps to annex the Essequibo region.

Marco Rubio cautioned a Venezuelan attack on Guyana or ExxonMobil would mark “a very bad day” hinting at serious consequences.

In het Zeeuws kun je ook nog "nae d'n Esjekiep gae". Dat komt van Essequibo, naast Berbice de andere kolonie die het huidige Guyana uitmaakt. Zeeuwen zijn altijd haantje de voorste geweest als er wat te verdienen viel, ook met slavernij, dus zij waren in de West wel oververtegenwoordigd...

The real reason is the mineral wealth in Essequibo. Politics and drugs just ain't in it.
Check it out.

Two years ago, in December 2023, President Maduro of Venezuela, organized a referendum to seek support for annexation of the area called Essequibo, a part of neigboring (ex-British) Guyana. This claim has a long history and can be traced back also on #stamps: www.defactoborders.org/places/esseq...

so there’s a long-running territorial dispute between Guyana and Venezuela over Guyana’s territory west of the Essequibo River, which Venezuela claims; the territory itself is sparsely inhabited but about a decade ago the Guyanese discovered some oil on their side of the line

also might be worth asking about the status of Essequibo

The same way I don’t recognize France’s colonial claims over the Pacific and the Caribbean, the same way I don’t recognize Venezuela’s claim over Essequibo (based on Spain’s colonial claim), the same way I don’t recognize Russia’s colonial claims over any country that surrounds it

there are plenty leftists in Venezuela who don't consider Essequibo part of their country, and there sure as hell aren't any Italian leftists worth a damn with revanchist sentiments when it comes to Dalmatia and Istria, so weird that the Malvinas narrative is pretty much never challenged in Arg

The #oil that exists in the Essequibo territory plays a crucial role in this issue. It has always been about the OIL, NOT DRUGS. #Lies

The Republicans are getting destroyed in the November elections, so Trump needs something to rally his supporters behind to gather momentum for the midterms. Just like how Maduro threatened to annex Essequibo to rally his supporters ahead of the 2024 presidential elections

The republicans are getting ass raped in the elections since November so he needs something to rally his supporters behind just like Maduro and his threats of annexing the Essequibo region just before the Venezuelan elections.

They've already landed quietly in Trinidad. Which nation will become the next Okinawa: Trinidad, Essequibo, or Venezuela itself?

These blighters were in Essequibo (thought Warner visited there) knocking around from c. 1610 but who knows what they were up to (aside from trafficking enslaved people and growing tobacco 🙃)?

Venezuela's illegal annexation of Essequibo province from Guyana last year may have something to do with it ? www.bbc.com/news/world-l...

We will build a digital archive out of the recorded words of enslaved people. We will transcribe, summarize and map the complaints brought by enslaved people recorded in the Reports of the Protectors of Slaves (and Fiscals) of British Guiana (Berbice and Demerara Essequibo)...

Venezuela illegally annexed Essequibo last year, reducing Guyana to less than half it's size.
