The territorial dispute between Venezuela and Guyana over the 160,000-square-km border territory around the Esequibo river, which is rich in oil and gas, has escalated due to recent oil discoveries off Guyana's coast. Venezuela has reactivated its claim to the territory and won backing in a referendum to create a new state. However, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has prohibited Venezuela from taking any action that would change the status quo.
In response to the rising tensions, Brazil has reinforced its troops near its own border, and the United States has urged calm. The United States also plans to conduct flight operations within Guyana amid growing border tensions between Guyana and Venezuela. The US Southern Command will conduct flight operations with the Guyanese military to enhance security partnership and regional cooperation. The US secretary of state has reaffirmed unwavering US support for Guyana's sovereignty.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's threats to annex a large portion of Guyana have sparked international concern. Maduro presented a map showing Guyana's Esequibo region as part of Venezuela and announced plans to create the Venezuelan state Guyana Esequiba. The reaction has been swift, with Brazil offering to mediate, the U.N. Security Council scheduling a meeting, and the U.S. Embassy in Guyana announcing joint flight operations.
The Venezuelan government ordered foreign companies to vacate the area and offered exploration and exploitation licenses. China expressed support for both countries. However, there are concerns about inflated turnout numbers in the referendum and the potential impact on President Maduro's re-election plans.
