  1. Hype for the Future 49J: French Guiana 🇬🇫

    French Guiana is a French Overseas Territory located on the South American continent. Like the remainder of the Guianas, whether Spanish 🇻🇪, English 🇬🇾, Dutch 🇸🇷, or Portuguese 🇧🇷, French Guiana identifies predominantly with the Caribbean. However, specifically French Guiana is located on the Atlantic Coast nearest the Brazilian coast, with Suriname located directly to the west. Unlike Guyana or Suriname, however, French Guiana is not a sovereign state as the territory […]

  2. This is Guyana — every river, every mountain, every inch. From the Rupununi to the Essequibo, it’s one sovereign nation. #Guyana #MiMapa #Venezuela #Esequibo #Essequibo #Suriname 🇬🇾

  3. Using any map of Guyana that omits or alters our internationally recognized borders, including the Essequibo region, is misleading and unlawful.

    Guyana's territorial integrity is protected by international law and backed by the 1899 Arbitral Award. Every km², is ours. #MiMapa #Venezuela #Esequibo #Essequibo #Guyana #EssequiboIsOurs #EssequiboIsGuyana #esequiboesvzla #EsequiboEsVenezolano

  4. Het grensgeschil tussen #Venezuela en #Guyana nadert een kritieke fase. In de uitgestrekte, dichtbegroeide bossen van #Essequibo, een regio die bijna twee derde van het grondgebied van Guyana beslaat, broeit een geopolitieke storm.

  5. Venezuela erlässt Gesetz zur Übernahme von Essequibo

    Die Region Essequibo gehört zu Guyana. Doch weil dort Ölvorkommen entdeckt wurden, beansprucht Venezuela sie für sich. Nun verabschiedete Machthaber Maduro ein Gesetz, das das Gebiet zu einem venezolanischen Bundesstaat machen soll.

    I Presidenti Nicolás #Maduro (#PSUV|Estrema sinistra) e Irfaan #Ali (#PCC|Sinistra populista) hanno deciso che i due stati non minacceranno né faranno uso della forza, direttamente o indirettamente, e si asterranno "nelle parole e nei fatti" dall'intensificare qualsiasi tensione.

    icymi:
    longstanding dispute between #Venezuela and #Guyana over the #Essequibo region, ongoing for over a century, encompasses an area of 160,000 square kilometers, presently under Guyana’s control, represents 74% of the neighboring country’s land, abundant in oil and mineral resources, with access to the Atlantic. Guyana spans an area of 214,969 km², 800k inhabitants. Its official languages are English and regional dialects, and its currency is the Guyanese dollar.

  11. The United States reaffirmed its support of Guyana amid a growing dispute with neighboring Venezuela over the oil-rich #Essequibo region.

    Both countries claim the region, but it has been 👉administered by Guyana since 1899 and represents two-thirds of its territory.

    Tensions rose over the weekend when Venezuela held a referendum in which 🔸the country voted overwhelmingly to establish a new state in Essequibo.🔸

    A ruling is pending from the International Court of Justice over the jurisdiction of the region, though Venezuela voted in the referendum to reject the ICJ's jurisdiction.

    Following the results of the referendum, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro ordered oil companies operating under Guyana's authority to halt operations in Essequibo within three months.

    Guyana has questioned the legitimacy of the Venezuelan referendum.
    President Irfaan Ali said he would put the country's troops on high alert and that he was in contact with Guyana's partners, including the U.S., which announced joint flight drills with the Guyanese military.

    Ali spoke to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who reaffirmed the unwavering U.S. support for Guyana's sovereignty and called for a peaceful resolution to the dispute.
    A group of U.S. senators also released a bipartisan statement condemning the Maduro regime in Venezuela and its actions toward Guyana.

    Venezuela's "petulant saber rattling against Guyana" showed that the Maduro regime, "far from taking steps towards the meaningful return of democracy, is moving towards an even more brutal dictatorship," their statement said.
    Analysts in Caracas suggest that Maduro used the referendum as a way to show strength and gauge support ahead of a reelection bid next year, rather than a genuine prelude to military action.

  12. After low-turnout referendum in support, #Venezuela looks to have formally fully annexed (absorbed) the disputed #GuayanaEsequiba / #Essequibo region, currently controlled by #Guyana. It had previously labeled it on maps as a special "zone in reclamation".

    Venezuela also says it will create new state/province to (theoretically) govern the area, but apparently hasn't done so quite yet.

  22. Indigenous peoples in Venezuela are supporting efforts to reclaim Essequibo from Guyana. This is from the Kariña nation specifically

  23. @Quantillion @aljazeera

    True that!

    And as far as I have noted (from media of course that is), would the people of #Essequibo really, really not been drawn into a conflict between #Venezuela and #Guyana who both never gave a shit about them.

  24. @aljazeera
    Surely the only referendum that should carry any weight whatsoever would be that of the people of #Essequibo themselves.

  25. Venezuela fragt seine Bevölkerung heute in einer Volksbefragung, ob die Region Essequibo ein Bundesstaat werden soll.

    Da gibt es bloß ein Problem: Essequibo ist seit 120 Jahren Teil von Nachbarland Guyana.

    De facto will sich Präsident Maduro einen Blankocheck holen, um Guyana mit Krieg zu drohen. In Essequibo gibt es unerschlossene Ölvorkommen.

  26. Just ahead of #Venezuela referendum on whether to "incorporate" disputed #GuayanaEsequiba / #Essequibo area (currently governed by #Guyana) as one of its states, #WorldCourt (#ICJ) orders country not to seize any land there ahead of future ruling.

    Court took a pass on Guyana's request to order the #referendum cancelled, but did order both countries to avoid actions that "aggravate or extend" the dispute.

    “This book focuses on some of the major developments in the history of the African-Guyanese people from the time of their arrival in what were then the Dutch colonies of Essequibo and Berbice in the first half of the seventeenth century, to the present day. Most African-Guyanese today are descendants of enslaved Africans who were victims of the trans-Atlantic slave trade – the forced migration of millions of Africans, largely from West Africa to the Americas, from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries.”
