A trio of Latino Presidents and a self declared one, have
attended a rock concert on the Colombian side of the Border to raise money for
aid Venezuela. The event of note, will be followed by an attempt to cross over
with food and medicines in the face of Venezuelan troops who have strict orders
from the Administration of President Nicolas Maduro... to block it.

Presidents Ivan Duque, Sebastian Pineda, Mario Abdo and self
declared Interim President Juan Guaido of Colombia, Chile, Paraguay and
Venezuela attended the Concert on the outskirts of Cucuta City in Colombia.
Billionaire organizer Sir Richard Branson, who hopes to
raise millions from it, described this as a magical day saying, we want to
build bridges of hope for the Venezuelan people. The nearby Tienditas Bridge is
guarded by crack Venezuelan troops who have orders to halt people crossing with
food and medicines.
About four hundred meters away in Urena on the Venezuelan
side, preparations are afoot, to stage a belated three day rival concert,
called Hands off Venezuela. Now the music has ceased, the real and bold
challenge this Saturday morning, will be if troops indeed step in to block the
aid process....or let it pass. Make or break time!
Near to the Venezuelan Border with Brazil, a man and wife
trying to prevent the blockade there, have been shot dead by troops. Confusion
deteriorating into deadly violence.
