US EditionCrisis With Venezuela Affects Guyanese Companies in Esequibo - teleSUR English
- On May 31, 2025, Venezuela held a referendum in the disputed Essequibo region, which Guyana claims, to approve annexation of the resource-rich territory.
- The referendum, seen as a political move by President Nicolás Maduro to strengthen domestic support and claim oil wealth, lacked transparency and has been widely dismissed as illegitimate.
- The region covers about two-thirds of Guyana’s territory, houses around 100,000 mostly Indigenous inhabitants, and sustains local economies reliant on gold mining, fishing, and retail trade.
