Guyana reports attacks from Venezuelan side along Cuyuni River

  • Over the course of three days in mid-May 2025, men dressed in civilian attire launched multiple attacks on Guyana Defence Force patrols operating along the Cuyuni River near Eteringbang and Makapa from the Venezuelan side.
  • These attacks followed a similar incident on February 17, 2025, and coincide with rising tensions linked to Venezuela’s planned May 25 elections to install a governor in the Essequibo region.
  • The head of the Guyana Defence Force, Brigadier Omar Khan, characterized the recent gunfire incidents as serious, confirmed three distinct attacks, and cautioned about increasing risks connected to Venezuela’s upcoming elections.
  • No injuries occurred, GDF patrols returned fire in each case, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the attacks while requesting Venezuela investigate and bring perpetrators to justice.
  • The incidents highlight ongoing border disputes, with Guyana affirming its sovereignty and pledging continued patrols and legal action against involvement in Venezuela’s illegal electoral process.
