Venezuela Protests Continue Despite Threat of Troops

Maduro

Protests continue to take place in Caracas and other Venezuelan cities, despite threats to send troops against them.

Over the last two weeks, thirteen people have been killed, more than one hundred and fifty injured, and over five hundred arrested.

Protesters are demanding that President Nicolas Maduro leave office so that new elections can take place.

Much of Venezuela's population is tired of living in socialist rule and want freedom for it.

However, a large number still support Maduro as shown by large counter protests, which at times have attacked the opposition.

Maduro has promised that if police do not end the protests, one way or the other, he will send in the military to ensure peace.
