Why Oil-Rich Venezuela Wants Guyana's Oil
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 08. 2024
- In April 2024, President Nicolás Maduro approved a referendum to annex the oil and mineral-rich region of Essequibo. The only problem is that Essequbio makes up two-thirds of Guyana, and they’re not going to give up that land so easily. While the long-standing territorial dispute between Venezuela and Guyana dates back more than a century, the issue escalated in 2015. That’s when ExxonMobil discovered oil off the coast of Guyana. This prompted Venezuela to revive an old debate over Guyana's territorial claims to Essequibo. Despite efforts by international bodies like the UN to mediate, and Venezuela and Guyana agreeing not to use force to settle the dispute, tensions remain high.

venezuela cant even run their country, what makes anyone think they can do good for guyana?
USA with Don-the-Con Trump and Genocide Joe bowing to AIPAC is such an exemplar - having spent a century or more destabilizing any non-vassal in Latin America.
Jenn O side Jo and Don-the-Con are doing such a great job in the USA!
Oil-rich Texas along with California, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado - used to be Northern Mexico!
@@sutapasbhattacharya9471ok and?
Lmfao. Well maybe if the U.S. would stop meddling, sanctioning, and isolating them simply because they won’t turn all their resources over to America corporations and install a U.S. puppet… then they could actually get somewhere. Funny you think it’s possible for a developing country to pick themselves up by their bootstraps while being stepped on by 100ton Uncle Sam.
Yes, the colonial powers have left many conflicts unresolved, they divided up many lands to suit themselves without regards for the local people
It was 200+ years ago. Oil was useless back then.
Land.geographical locations .Divided india and still using Pakistan as a puppet state @@eman3682
mr Dayna, this dispute is not unresolved , venezuela agreed to the present border, then changed their minds after 100 years or so.
@@amazonwarrior7126 Wasn't Chavez saying that the issue was resolved and no one cared about it until oil was discovered.
mr dayana39 yes in many lands but in Guyana case Venezuela agreed to the borders,so end of story
venezuela can give it self back to Colombia before coming for land from Guyana
the same with america, they have oil and they want iraq, libya oil and more
iraq took kuwait for their oil remember? they were kicked out of kuwait and that regime was removed from power..
Clearly, you are not educated with facts.
Russia too
@@jaredgalvin educated me sir
@@joellee6142 How do you think that Hussein was removed? U.S invaded Iraq in 2003. and stayed there until the last term of Obama in 2014. Did you forget?
This dispute is very very old. The UK stole this territory from Venezuela and even the UN at the time decided that the britains shoud give back the land. But the britains withdrawed without do it on purpose, leaving yet another focus of conflict in the region.
They bribed the judges in the Paris ruling to rule in their favor since they knew there was gold. That's a historical fact many of these videos miss.
I mean the video says Venezuelans solved the dispute and reached an agreement decades ago and what I understand is it is still them who's trying to break the agreement they did decades ago
@@kuheylan123ify Yes Hugo said there's no problem with the territory. Nick is doing it to drum up support because schools in Venezuela teach about the history of the disputed region that it belonged to them.
Stop with your fake history.
Just like the Palestinians who aren’t native to the land of Israel
This is a colonial dispute. Also the American imperialists shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near Guyanas oil. They’ve already got an unfair and corrupt contract.
Essequibo belong to Guyana not a blade grass
It is a disputed territory no doubt. Venezuela will have no problem if Russian & Chinese oil companies extract the resources, but NOT the Yankee Americans nor Shell/BP & other EU companies. So far Guayana has played smart by not provoking Venezuela. Remember Aljazeera is still a MSM media that selectively retracts some portions of the truth. In this case it never discussed the history of Essequibo nor the agreements between the British Colonial forces & the Spanish (later the Bolivarian Liberation).
Major Hint - why is Essequibo a Spanish name for the territory?
The Americans and the companies that already mine there will not allow it.
no brainless, Guyana will not allow it .
Essequibo belongs to Guyana
It’s so bizarre to me that no one thinks to just save money and just build renewable energy. The people in charge of basically every country are addicted to fossil fuels. Addicted to conflict.
Venezuela is like the Philippines. Recently the Philippines also wants to claim 2/3 of Sabah, one of Malaysia State using historical claim. But Sabah is internationally recognised as a Malaysian region/state since 1963.
Contrary to what the Venezuelans will tell you. The land never belonged to them. It changed hands many centuries and was in possession of the Dutch at the time it was transferred to the British. The dispute was settled fairly in an international tribunal in 1899 after USA threaten war against the British at the behest of its vassal regime in Venezuela. It was brought up again in the Cold War era of the 60’s by USA and UK meddling to stoke division in Guyana because it had a communist leaning Government then. This was the birth of Venezuela’s claim at that time it was an American vassal dictatorship like the Middle East dictatorships. Venezuela has no claim to the Essequibo and it never will.
I heard the president of usa was in Venezuela shortly before they started making claims again
LET THE PEOPLE IN THE ESEQUBO VOTE TO BE PART OF GUYANA OR VENEZULA
With no interference from the US.
@@numbersix8919 the people of essicreibo are Guyanese and they dont want to vote because essicreibo has always belonged to Guyana and always will. dont pander to a mad dicatitor.
@@amazonwarrior7126 Sounds like the same old imperialist smear to me!
@@numbersix8919 no this is what the people of essicreibo want, and they love their country. as all Guyanese do.

It's already happened before, with Iraq and Kuwait! What's new about that?
Guyana has a right protect itself
One note those Spanish “colonies” were not “colonies” but viceroyalties as formal parts of Spain
I personally think moderator that you have it all wrong Venezuela did not want Guyana its the dictator Maduro who is try claiming Guyana territory
Venezuela's government is in the wrong in this case, and is acting as an imperialist country.
socialism is one of venezuela's biggest issues
Where is bisan..
It is the us military base Venezuela don't want and should not want
i190 who cares what venezuela thinks? we will have a military base if it suits us.
It's complicated, but normally where British were involved, the divide and conquer rules. Seems like they want the bigger countries in smaller size.
You can’t blame the British forever
Dont .let this
Outlaw
Bully .our .peaceful Guyana maduro go .to hel
Why is the ginebra agreement??
God knows who it belongs to
Greed
Guyana and Venezuela i get no one wants to lose terroitory my only idea is condominium region if nobody is gonna back down because of something better, but to honest the whole dispute i mean the brits were really bad a drawing lines and guyana while they been in dialogue for sometime to resolve hasn't been able and only reignited in a serious way after the oil discovery
That line was the most peaceful line made in south America everyone fought for there's it would've been a full blown war and Venezuela would've lose more than that and the usa wouldn't help since British was and still is an alliance of usa, what I heard from radicals in Venezuela that Guyana have to fight for it like the rest of South America they trying to intimidate guyana like the brits did to them but either way they can't win Caz they now have both us and England ready to trash them
Life ❤️
I mean what the people there in that location think they should be with?
Guyana because for over a century it was governed by Guyana. Everyone in that region speaks English and other native languages, but no one speaks Spanish, which greatly shows who owns the land.
tiredox3788 this is what the people think, czcams.com/video/dbX39FZ3mT8/video.htmlsi=XrWLXb7fvT6Zuhst
Ummm here comes the U.S to the rescue 😅
South America issues are not rooted in colonialism
Are you dense? Guyana and Venezuela were colonized
The current issues
@@sladetuner8661 where do you think the current issue stems from
Bad policy’s
@@sladetuner8661 no dimwit, from Venezuela not accepting the way the Colonizers divided Eisiqubo
Hes acting like the US now. I doubt Hugo Chavez would have done this.
Its not stealing if youre already rich.
VENEZUELA SHOULD INDUSTRIALIZE ESQUIBO.
Imagine a world where Venezuela long dropped its foolish claims, where She could have been our sister - economies joint and improved by trading, roads built to connect the two nations. We could have welcomed the children of our sister, they would mine and harvest and trade in the Essequibo without all this drama. Maduro has failed you, he used you in his quest for power. Now it will take generations before we forget how many times you stopped us from using the resources that would have strengthened us when we were weak.
Imaginemos un mundo en el que Venezuela abandonó hace tiempo sus estúpidas pretensiones, en el que podría haber sido nuestra hermana: economías unidas y mejoradas mediante el comercio, carreteras construidas para conectar las dos naciones. Podríamos haber dado la bienvenida a los hijos de nuestra hermana, ellos explotarían, cosecharían y comerciarían en el Esequibo sin todo este drama. Maduro te ha fallado, te utilizó en su búsqueda de poder. Ahora pasarán generaciones antes de que olvidemos cuántas veces nos impidiste usar los recursos que nos habrían fortalecido cuando éramos débiles.
Essequbio should just become independent and become a country. I think its people would want that.
Who told you so?Guyana have 10 region anď so shall it remain🇬🇾✊
It can’t as it’s sparsely populated. Majority of the people that live there are closer to Guyana than Venezuela
They are Guyanese and they already belong to an independent country. Venezuela is the one trying to change that.
Are you sure that territory belongs to Guyana? Because even Google maps shows the territory belonging to neither country.
Read the 1899 Paris tribunal award Venezuela vs. British Guyana and the subsequent 1905 Border demarcation commission Venezuela and British Guyana.
Which Guyana map? The one the Venezuelans drew?
Esequibo belongs to Venezuela 🇻🇪
Essequibo belongs to Venezuela!
The sole blame is United States of America
you are a simpleton with not much of a brain, Greetings from Guyana
Essequibo belongs to Venezuela
Im on Venezuelas side
Trash
aj：how do we blame US for venezuelan imperialism
