Guyana says soldiers attacked in disputed border region with Venezuela

  • Guyana reported three attacks on its soldiers on May 15 in the oil-rich disputed Essequibo region bordering Venezuela.
  • The attacks occurred amid longstanding territorial claims by both countries and just before scheduled elections in the region on May 25.
  • Armed men in civilian clothes ambushed Guyanese troops patrolling the Cuyuni River, a key boundary in Essequibo, which Guyana administers but Venezuela contests.
  • The Guyana Defence Force reported that its personnel were unharmed during recent incidents and affirmed its commitment to address hostile actions occurring near the Guyana-Venezuela border.
  • These incidents escalate tensions despite a December 2023 agreement to avoid force, underscoring risks ahead of Venezuela’s planned elections and international court orders forbidding unilateral votes.
