Guyana Veterans Legion condemns Venezuelan military incursion
Kaieteur News- The Guyana Veterans Legion has expressed deep concern over recent military actions by Venezuela that it describes as “highly offensive” and a direct threat to Guyana’s sovereignty and interests.
Guyana Veterans Legion condemns Venezuelan military incursion
In a statement, the veterans’ organization outlined two key incidents that it believes signal a deliberate attempt by Venezuela to destabilize and intimidate the country.
Reference was made to the alleged Syndicatos attack on members of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) River patrol in the Cuyuni River, injuring six of the soldiers and the March 1, 2025 Venezuela vessel patrol ship, Guaiquerí (PO 11), entering Guyana’s waters and approaching ExxonMobil Guyana’s Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) platform – Prosperity – which is operating in Guyana’s oil-rich Stabroek Block.
The group contended that these acts are not isolated. “These incidents do not appear to be random, but rather the beginning of another deliberate Venezuelan plan to destabilise and intimidate Guyana. They are a violation of our nation’s sovereignty,” the Veterans Legion said.
Reaffirming Guyana’s territorial integrity, the Legion stated, “All 83,000 square miles, and our Exclusive Economic Zone, belong to Guyana, and it is our sovereign right to engage in business ventures for our country’s development, whenever and with whomever we choose. We refuse to be intimidated.”
In a show of solidarity, the organization declared its unwavering support for the government and the GDF while calling on the entire nation to stand together.
