An official of Guyana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has described as fake news, a report that Venezuelan refugees are being trained at a military base in Guyana.
The news was reportedly attributed to the Russian Foreign Ministry.
“Absolutely no merit in that story,” the local official said yesterday.
Prensa Latina, an online news site, reported that there is a plan to train alleged Venezuelan refugees in a British military base in Guyana.
Dozens of alleged Venezuelan refugees moved to that military place, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, who noted that they are people who arrived in that place to receive training and join ‘sabotage and espionage’ groups.
She assured that the Brits are completing the construction of that military base on one of the islands on the mouth of the Essequibo River.
Zakharova, in the report, warned that the final objective is to deploy those forces on Venezuelan territory to destabilise the situation here and perpetrate terrorist acts.
Venezuela is claiming Essequibo, the biggest region in Guyana.
However, Guyana has made it clear that the matter was settled decades ago, in 1899.
Guyana has filed a case in the International Court in The Hague, Netherlands, to have the matter settled.
Venezuela which has fallen on hard times and runaway inflation, despite its oil riches, has already signaled its intentions not to accept the ruling of that court.
The Russian Foreign Ministry, in the report yesterday, said it recently criticised the tightening of the total blockade by the United States against Venezuela, which it described as economic terrorism.
THIS IDIOT TELLING GUYANA WE HAVE NO SAY IN THE 50% PROFIT SHARING AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH EXXON.
