Guyana presses Venezuela on border gunfire as they vie over an energy-rich region
Guyana said one soldier was wounded and urged Venezuela to stop future attacks on troops and civilians as the border dispute moves through the court.
- On Thursday, Guyana's Foreign Ministry demanded that Venezuela investigate two recent shootings targeting troops along the Cuyuni River, including one incident that left a soldier with gunshot wounds.
- These border tensions occur during a century-old dispute over the Essequibo region, which Venezuela claims despite an 1899 arbitration decision drawing the border in favor of Guyana.
- Soldiers returned fire in all cases, the Guyanese Defense Force reported, adding that similar shootings have injured troops over the past two years, including one wounding eight soldiers.
- Acting President Delcy Rodriguez defended Venezuela's claim at the International Court of Justice on Monday, arguing that political negotiations—rather than a judicial ruling—must resolve the territorial conflict.
