Protest Against US Actions in Venezuela

A broad coalition of South African trade unions, political parties, civil society organizations, and solidarity movements will gather outside the US Embassy in Pretoria on Thursday to protest against the recent US military operation in Venezuela. This protest is part of a global wave of demonstrations in support of Caracas, with many citizens worldwide taking to the streets to condemn the US actions.

The protest in Pretoria is scheduled to begin at 12:00 CAT outside the US Embassy at 877 Pretorius Street, Arcadia. Organizers have called on workers, students, faith groups, and peace-loving citizens to attend, emphasizing that the demonstration is not only in solidarity with Venezuela but also a warning about the dangers posed by a global superpower that critics argue increasingly threatens entire neighbourhoods, weaker states, and independent nations with impunity.

The US military operation in Venezuela has sparked widespread condemnation, with many countries and international organizations expressing concern about the violation of international law and the sovereignty of Venezuela. The United Nations has also expressed concern about the potential impact on regional stability and the precedent it may set.
