2019-03-10 |
[DAWN] Riot police blocked protesters as thousands of people erupted into the streets Saturday with tensions rising between opposition leader Juan Guaido and President Nicolas Maduro Venezuela's attempt at producing a Muammar Qadaffy... after crisis-wracked Venezuela emerged from the chaos of an electricity blackout. Both Guaido and Maduro, who are locked in a bitter power struggle for the right to lead the oil-rich South American nation, had asked their supporters to fill the streets of Caracas and other cities in rival demonstrations. "We want to march! Yes we can!" shouted opposition protesters as riot police prevented them from accessing the street in east Caracas where their demonstration was due to take place. |
