Venezuela’s president Nicolas Maduro was in a New York jail on Sunday after a shock US snatch-and-grab raid to remove him from power and assert Washington’s control over the oil-rich South American nation.
The planes were sent after Maduro — keen for an end to crippling US sanctions — agreed with a visiting envoy of US President Donald Trump on January 31 to accept the return of deported migrants.
Kuapishwa kwa Maduro kumekumbwa na utata mkubwa, huku kiongozi wa upinzani Edmundo Gonzalez akidai kuwa alishinda uchaguzi kwa 67% ya kura.
A defiant Maduro, 62, adorned with an oversized yellow, blue and red presidential sash, shrugged off the outcry over his unproven claim to have won another six-year term, saying that his investiture was a “great victory for Venezuelan democracy.”
Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro, in office since 2013, is due to take the oath of office for a third term Friday despite a global outcry that brought thousands out in protest on the ceremony’s eve.
