Well im Venezuelan and i live here in Carabobo closed to he capital Caracas, and we right now are having a total media blackout, all the transmisions on tv dont show what is going on with the country, everything that they are showing is "cadenas" or long programations of the president saying that everything is out of control and e will use extreme forces againts his own country, the situation her is alarming we need international help right now.

Oh no, looks like they'll wrap you with cadenas at the mere whiff of dissent. Good thing you still have internet. I feel bad for you but is it possible for you to leave the country? I mean, I've seen people move to Chile. I've seen a video where Columbia opened the border to allow people to buy stuff, can't you migrate there that way? Of course legally if possible so you don't end up deported and blacklisted.

It's unlikely that a country would intervene at this moment so maybe just try to stay safe or maybe move to the countryside if it's safer there. Wishing you the best.

i wish i could do that but i dont have money and cant leave my family behind, plus im studying medicine here and for free so i´ll wait till graduate to leave. thanks for the best wishes

Um, how many years have you got left? I mean, it's possible for all this to boil over within a few months and you'd be stuck there and wouldn't be able to finish college anyway. If you just have a year or two left anyway, you can probably finish that in a different country as a working student.

Just stay safe and be prepared to bug out at a moment's notice.

i think its the end of maduro, ppl are tired , and you can see that, there are alot immigrant from venezuela that come in HT,cu, and jamaica.

Maduro was a bad choice, after the death of Chavez. He proved himself to be an incompetent elitist. Some of the issues can be traced to Chavez as well. Because Chavez never cared to set up a sovereign wealth fund (SWF).

Venezuela was already rotten when Chavez died. Maduro takes it to the next level. Its so pity to see Venezuela turn to the worst. It is one of the richest country in South America. But look at it right now, it has worlds highest inflation rate and is plagued by hunger and violent crime
Venezuela sits on the worlds largest proven oil reserves. Oil accounts for ninety-six per cent of the countrys export earnings. I guess the only solution is a political change. That's the only thing I can imagine that will help solved all this crisis. Changed all the current leaders and installed a new one. Call for a referendum and have a snap election. There has got to be a political house cleaning so you can reset the political and economic clock there.

Yup, they could have just used the earnings from the oil wealth to grow their economy but no, they didn't. Even KSA, which mostly rely on oil export didn't suffer this much when the price dropped.

KSA also subsidize a lot like water and education and their government very likely also steal a lot (they're nobility after all). What probably made the difference is that Venezuela economically isolated itself.
