Guayana Esequiba and Why It Matters

So, I do not usually make statements like these considering my blog is mainly fandom but I felt like I need to.

If you do not know, I am Guyanese of African descent. My parents are Guyanese immigrants, born shortly after the country gained independence. Most of my family came from Guyana. I am very proud of being Guyanese and I can say that it is a part of who I am.

Before I go further, whenever I say Venezuela, I am primarily talking about the Venezuelan government and Nicolas Maduro, NOT the Venezuelan people who had to suffer this. Just saying this before anyone accuses me of being a racist.

Now, if you have been looking at the news, you saw that Venezuela had a referendum to annex the Esequibo region, which is a region that is west of the Esequibo River in Guyana. That region takes up at least two-thirds of Guyana. This region has been disputed since the colonial era, mainly between Spain and the British Empire. This continued when Venezuela and Guyana gained their independence. In the present, Guyana has been having rapid economic growth since it discovered oil as Venezuela went downhill since Maduro got power. The latter had been suffering from hyperinflation, high poverty levels, and food shortages. So much so that some of them had to leave for Guyana from the west. This led to tensions between them and the Guyanese and that's putting it lightly.

As Guyana discovered oil on their territorial water, Venezuela wanted it. So they decided to seize it by stating that the Esequibo region belonged to them, despite it being clear that it belonged to Guyana. ExxonMobil already made deals with Guyana to get the oil. I know how people will say that ExxonMobil is greedy, which I do not disagree with, but be aware that GUYANA is the one who has the right to those waters and made a deal with them. Plus, people should not make the argument that Guyana should have a meeting with Venezuela about THEIR OWN SOVEREIGN TERRITORY. It does not make sense because the Esequibo Region has been established to be a part of Guyana since its creation. This is the same logic where people believe that Ukraine should be in talks with Russia about the territory that the latter STOLE with invasions and rigged elections.

Not to mention that the Guyanese government was in talks for years to resolve this diplomatically.

There is no legitimate reason to further invade or annex a country. It was bad when the US took over Iraq. It was bad when Russia took over Crimea and Ukraine's eastern regions. Now, it is bad that Venezuela is planning to annex about 66% of Guyana.

Do you think that they would stop there? I doubt the rest of South America believes that.

The People of Guyana are not giving up one blade of grass. Spread the word.

“Es tiempo de consolidar el estado 24 de Venezuela”

Héctor Sulbarán: “Militancia revolucionaria está por encima de la militancia partidista en construcción de la Guayana Esequiba”

Ciudad Bolívar 25/02/25. (PS).- La consolidación del estado Guayana Esequiba es un compromiso que debe trascender las diferencias entre partidos y ser asumido como una causa revolucionaria, afirmó este martes Héctor Guaicaipuro Sulbarán, vicepresidente nacional de asuntos internacionales de Podemos y presidente de la organización en el estado Bolívar.

“El momento exige que la militancia de la revolución esté por encima de la militancia de cualquier partido político”, aseguró Sulbarán, destacando que la recuperación y desarrollo de la Guayana Esequiba debe convertirse en una tarea estratégica para el país. En este sentido, señaló que la planificación de la región debe contemplar la creación de infraestructura, asfaltado de vialidad y la mejora de los servicios de salud.

Sulbarán resaltó la importancia de la educación en este estado naciente y respaldó la propuesta de Didalco Bolívar, presidente nacional de Podemos, de crear una universidad con una facultad de medicina en la Guayana Esequiba. “La formación de médicos es una necesidad urgente, ya que muchos han emigrado y nuestro país requiere profesionales de la salud”.

Asimismo, el dirigente reiteró el compromiso de Podemos con la disciplina partidista dentro del Gran Polo Patriótico (GPP), en sintonía con el llamado del secretario general del Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello. “Desde Podemos entendemos la importancia de la unidad y acatamos ese llamado”.

Enfatizó que la militancia revolucionaria debe estar a la vanguardia en la defensa y desarrollo de la Guayana Esequiba, un territorio cuya soberanía fue ratificada por el pueblo venezolano en el referendo del 3 de diciembre de 2023. “Nos congregamos la semana pasada en la Guayana Esequiba, el estado 24 de nuestra patria, para reafirmar nuestro derecho sobre la región y trabajar en su desarrollo. Venezuela tiene el deber y la responsabilidad de impulsar su crecimiento”.

Desde Podemos, aseguró Sulbarán, la defensa del Esequibo “no solo es un asunto de soberanía, sino una responsabilidad histórica que debe unir a toda la militancia revolucionaria en un mismo propósito”.

US reaffirmed its support for Guyana’s sovereignty

The US voiced support for Guyana in its dispute with Venezuela over the Esequibo jungle territory, which contains vast amounts of oil and gas.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a conversation with Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali on Wednesday, the State Department reported. Hours earlier, White House national security spokesman John Kirby stated that the US did not want to witness any violence stemming from the territorial dispute.

Guyana and Venezuela claim ownership of Esequibo, a 62,000-square-mile area around the Esequibo River. The dispute dates back to the late 19th century, when Guyana was still a British colony.

Venezuela has renewed its claim to the land after 11 billion barrels of recoverable oil and gas were discovered off the coast of Guyana in recent years. Furthermore, Venezuela held a referendum on Sunday in which voters overwhelmingly backed their government’s claim to Esequibo.

President Nicolas Maduro has received support for the creation of a new state and promises oil and mineral exploration in the territory. The discovery of valuable raw materials has put Guyana on the map of the world’s oil producers.

Guyanese authorities expressed their regret this week that Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro intends to hold elections for the position of Governor of the disputed territory of Guyana Essequiba because the move would be in violation of what was arranged between the two countries in the Dec. 14, 2023, Argyle Agreement. Guyana's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Caracas' recent actions and statements also constituted a clear violation of that document as well as the binding Order of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued on Dec. 1, 2023. In Argyle, in the presence of Vincentian Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves; Brazil's Special Envoy Celso Amorim, and Dominica's Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit; Maduro and Guyana's President Irfaan Ali also agreed that any controversies between the two states would be settled in accordance with international law including the Geneva Agreement of February 17, 1966. While both parties had pledged would refrain “from actions that could aggravate tensions or alter the current situation in the disputed territory, pending resolution in accordance with international law,” Maduro's Jan. 7, 2025, announcements regarding the election of a “Governor of the Guayana Esequiba“ by “the people of Guayana Esequiba” constituted a direct violation of these commitments, Georgetown argued. ”This unilateral action disregards the spirit of the Argyle Agreement undermines the agreed framework for dialogue and peaceful coexistence and significantly escalates tensions between our nations,” the former British Colony went on to say while warning that any attempt to conduct an election in Guyanese territory involving Guyanese nationals would be in “flagrant violation’ of the most fundamental principles of international law.

“Venezuela avanza en inversión petrolera sin comprometer su soberanía”

Héctor Sulbarán: Renovación de licencia a Chevron es un triunfo de la diplomacia y la estabilidad económica para Venezuela

Caracas 02/03/25. (PS).- Héctor Sulbarán, vicepresidente de asuntos empresariales del partido Podemos y representante de la organización en los estados Guayana Esequiba y Bolívar, destacó este domingo que la renovación de la licencia a Chevron hasta septiembre de 2025 es una muestra del éxito de la diplomacia estratégica impulsada tanto por el presidente Nicolás Maduro como por el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump.

“La extensión de esta concesión refleja la capacidad de ambos líderes para priorizar el diálogo y la estabilidad por encima de las diferencias. Mientras el presidente Maduro ha defendido la soberanía venezolana y el derecho a aprovechar nuestros recursos, el presidente Trump ha reconocido que la cooperación económica beneficia a ambas naciones. Este paso fortalece nuestra industria petrolera y abre caminos para una relación basada en el respeto mutuo”, afirmó.

El dirigente de la tolda vinotinto también enfatizó que la renovación de la licencia a Chevron demuestra que, con diplomacia y firmeza, es posible atraer inversiones sin comprometer la soberanía del país. “Este acuerdo abre nuevas oportunidades para fortalecer nuestra industria, pero el verdadero motor del crecimiento debe ser la producción nacional. Cada fábrica, cada campo y cada trabajador son piezas clave en la construcción de la Venezuela potencia que estamos forjando”.

Asimismo, el dirigente de Podemos respaldó el llamado del presidente Maduro a elevar la producción nacional, asegurando que este es un momento clave para la transformación económica del país.

“Es fundamental que la industria nacional, que actualmente opera al 45% de su capacidad, logre alcanzar entre el 60% y el 70% este año. Tal como lo ha señalado el presidente, debemos redoblar esfuerzos para recuperar nuestro parque industrial y avanzar hacia un modelo económico soberano, sin depender de factores externos. Empresarios y trabajadores patrióticos tienen la gran responsabilidad de asumir este reto con compromiso e innovación”, enfatizó.

En cuanto a la situación con Guyana, Sulbarán rechazó lo que calificó como provocaciones del presidente Irfaan Ali y respaldó el llamado de la vicepresidenta Delcy Rodríguez a defender la soberanía venezolana sobre la Guayana Esequiba.

“La estabilidad económica y la defensa de nuestra integridad territorial son prioridades para Venezuela. Rechazamos cualquier intento de injerencia y reafirmamos nuestro compromiso con el desarrollo nacional y la paz en la región”, concluyó.

The UK Navy will send a patrol ship to Guyana as a sign of British support for the Commonwealth country.

The South American country is in a dispute with Venezuela over a mineral-rich border area. HMS Trent will take part in joint exercises with Guyana after Christmas. A Ministry of Defence spokesman said:

HMS Trent will visit regional ally and Commonwealth partner Guyana later this month as part of a series of engagements in the region during her Atlantic patrol task deployment.

The dispute erupted after the discovery of oil in Guyana and escalated when Venezuela voted in a referendum on 3 December to claim two-thirds of its smaller neighbour’s territory.
