The crisis in Venezuela is deepening, as aid continues to be
blocked and teargas is fired by the military near the Colombian border.

The Border with Colombia is sealed on the orders of
President Nicolas Maduro. The Oppostion claim that two trucks with aid managed
to get through from Brazil, which its leader Juan Guaido describes as a great
achievement. Yet other reports indicate that they are still stranded in no
man`s land.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says Nicolas Maduro`s
tenure of power is weakening, that his days are numbered and he won`t be in
power much longer. Yet the Military stays loyal to President Maduro, which
remains the key to his power base. Troops have fired tear gas near to the
Colombian Border and aid as well as everything else is blocked. Two rival rock
concerts over the weekend, entrenched on either side of short divide which in
reality is a gulf.
