- Venezuela Says Guyana's Oil-Rich Essequibo is Now Their New State | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Venezuela has escalated tensions with Guyana again. Caracas has unilaterally declared that the disputed region of Essequibo is now a Venezuelan state. Essequibo is an oil-rich region that has been governed by Guyana for the last 200 years. The dispute stretches to before Venezuela and Guyana were independent nations. But it is only now, on the eve of elections, that Venezuela chooses to escalate tensions. Is President Nicolas Maduro doing this for oil, or political gain? Palki Sharma tells you.

As a Guyanese, I appreciate the efforts put into the report and the proper pronunciation for Guyana.
No mapping error. The Essequibo is the Indigenous Peoples territory and every attempt of spanish settlements from the 1600s onwards were met with staunch resistance from the Karinya. Those spanish settlements were wiped out by the Karinya in many instances. Only the Dutch had a foothold in the Essequibo and that was done through trading at first with the varying Indigenous Nations and later on settlements were established. 90% of the Indigenous Peoples population of Guyana lives in the Essequibo Regions and we see ourselves as Guyanese.
This is important information to bring forward as it will help to refute any claim that Maduro and his government have on the region. Give Thanks
Oh wow, thnx for clarification..you notice..media won't talk about this, which is of Great importance
Dictator Maduro is behavior is insane. He claims that part of Trinidad belongs to him, too. It's all about power.
I'd like to speak with you. What's your FB page?
Big up great agriculturalist! Let them know the facts. Your land is your land!
Hands off Essequibo it belongs to the people of Giyana
Guyana, tell dem a fi wi land.
Hold fast Guyana! That's your country, you are not alone!
It's not their country .
Hands off of black land.
@aborigineone2377 Sorry to disappoint you, but Indians run the country.
@@aborigineone2377 what black land? its Guyanese ameridian land and now all Guyanese lands
@@amazonwarrior-wf7kl ✨️✨️ It's black owned. GOD made the entire planet for "our" sakes. 👉🏾 Israelites. The people of the Bible. Black, Native, and Hispanics. Same bloodline.
#️⃣NotForMassah.
Fifty plus years ago my dad visited the Venezuelan Embassy in Georgetown to request a Venezuelan Passport, seeing he was born in Suddie Essequibo, they denied his claim. Such hypocrites & greed merchants, like they haven't got enough land & resources of their own.
As a Guyanese I say WE ARE NOT giving up any river, any sea, any land, any oil reserve or Rice Grain that belong to US. We will fight "Usque ad Mortem".
The Almighty God will fight for Guyana's Territories and Borders.
As a Trinidadian living in NYC, they and the US have destroyed the region. Enough is enough! Maduro needs to stop and a repel of embargos needs to be discussed.
That’s other big perle of the British imperialism, there’s Maldivas too and everywhere where British had going. The Indian border issues with some neighbors it was a heritage.
As a FULL GT MAN I concur! ANYBADY TRYIN FUH TEK WE LAN GETTIN BUGGUH!😡
British bring trouble around the world... Land stolen by British from Venezuela, same here in the Philippines, they stole Sabah and gave to Malaysia... They stole Malvinas (Falkland Islands) from Argentina. ...
@@RabeTorcBlame Spain too both took native Indian land. But it belongs to Gayuan now.
If there is enough oil there, the United States might have to get involved.
Yes America is there also...America support Guyana ,therefore tension arises.
Unfortunately when America gets involved Guyana gonna lose one way or another 🤷🏽♂️
Better America than Venezuela
The U.S should stay the f out
😂
This man needs to go to jail period leave Guyana 🇬🇾 alone he is responsible for the displacement of millions of people 🤬
USA is responsible
Who is going to put him in jail?
God can do anything Guyana South America 🇬🇾 people are peaceful Venezuelans needs to go back and get that dictator out and rebuild their country we are not the ones claiming things that are not ours Mr Madmanduro needs God in his miserable life period. God bless Guyana 🇬🇾
Venezuela will not get an inch of Guyana territory not in this lifetime so message to Venezuela back off
Guyana's territory is only for the White Imperialists!
I think the whole world knows Guyana does not have the money, military, or manpower to fight any wars even with a mismanaged country such as Venezuela. I pray for you guys to get international military deterrence though. Jai Shree Ram.
Make me
Venezuela will invade Guyana and win. The United States is not going to war with a Latin American country at this point in history unless it’s over American territory ( Mexico)
If you think any one cares that Guyanese people speak “English” then you are mistaken.
@@ObscureManifestoSince your guy can't keep his mouth out Haiti showing up calling shot for Caricom maybe he need to worried about they own land we both know it belong to Venezuela dealing with British just like Caricom want to call shot for Haiti
Say no to Land grabbers
Essequibo belong to Guyana not a blade grass
Since when has that area been in India which is the place where you belong.?
It is rather unfortunate that the current aggressions by Venezuela is being characterised by such a reputable news agency as caused by a mapping error by the British when in the face of international law and the principles which govern state relations the MOST IMPORTANT factor to consider here would be that the two parties agreed to an arbitration which both Venezuela and Guyana agreed will be the FULL, PERFECT, and FINAL settlement to the dispute.
Notably, at the end of the dispute neither party was truly satisfied, since neither got what they originally wanted, BUT BOTH PARTIES ACCEPTED THE ARBITRAL AWARD AS FINAL AND BINDING. This is evidenced by the fact that there was a joint state commission which comprised of Venezuelan and Guyanese representatives who demarcated the settled borders and both Guyana and Venezuela printed maps and accepted those borders for over 60 years until Venezuela UNILATERALLY decided that they would no longer accept the agreement.
That is why we are here… for all the good and bad caused by colonialism, there are rules which we have collectively agreed to be governed by as a global community. Venezuela’s actions are a flagrant violation of those rules and must be continually condemned.
Spain was never in essiquibo. The dutch and then the british controlled essiquibo. Essiquibo belong to guyana.
Right let Caricom make the final decision for the whole issues I am sure with both know how is going to turn out.
All of the Americas belonged to Spain and Portugal according to June 7 1494 the a treaty of tordesillas.so England 🏴 was not invited they’re trespassers and so are their slaves who inherited the stolen lands.
@@jamescarel5520 That's true the british is scams
As a Guyanese, we've never heard of any mapping mistake committed by Braitain. Can you provide your source for this historic contention? Venezuela's fundamental claim is based upon the legal doctrine of discovery used by Spain. Where as the Dutch and English follows the more fundamentally sound doctrine of occupation and control. Spain nor Venezuela has ever occupied nor control Essequibo. Historically, Venezuela 's wants to covet Essequibo in order to have a direct access to the Atlantic Ocean which it lacks.
Well only thing I could say Caricom who running by your guy want to make decision for Haiti without ever been to Haiti sound what the British had done with that decision let's be honest back then any decision British made would be for their interests right or not.
And the problem with you is that who cares about the doctrine of discovery. Nations already existed in the new world and British and the Europeans stole land and genocides people. They have no legal right to other people land. They are creating their own laws to make themselves right and steal someone else land
This is the crime of being weak..anyone can claim your s*** and you can't do anything about it...lamentable but it's the law of the jungle
British stole Sabah from the Philippines and they gave it to Malaysia. They stole also Islas Malvinas (Falkland Islands) from Argentina.... Their legacy in territorial dispute between India and Pakistan in Kashmir..... Looted or robbed conquered lands cultural artefacts and put in British Museum.... British, British, British.........
@@javenbautista5678once you see fishes fighting inside river just know a British just passed by😂
What has Venezuela done with the massive oil deposits in their control?
Goes without saying. Squandered it in Russian weaponry and Vodka.
That's outrageous, this is unacceptable
Essequibo belongs to Guyana 🇬🇾
Maduro following the footsteps of his idol, Putin.
Essequibo belongs to Guyana Maduro and is people will keep wishing for what is not theirs.
It belongs to Venezuela...it's best you get a Venezuela flag and raise this on your mother's house

@@unbalumba why did you change Guyana to Venezuela 😅
@@alvinnirmal9223 because in the end they will get it
It is always all about greed.
Given the new strategy by Maduro to declare Essequibo a new State of Venezuela I am curious to hear the utterings of St Vincent, Barbados & St Kitt's Prime Ministers are they condemning Maduro's treachery or are they silent having taken Venezuela's Petro dollars.
I'll join you on that one! Seems as though 'cat has got their tongue' 👀
Those parasites are silent
That's the reason why I didn't trust and like that Argyle Declaration where our president met with dictator Maduro in St Vincent! That was a sign of weakness on our part.
Sure bet!!!
It seems America will have work to do again.
Not really, Exxonmobil ploy is to scare guyana by having Maduro stir up this issue so they can continue to exploit the guyanese and not pay their fair share.
What do you think will happen? I saw this coming the second Guyana discovered the oil reserves. It is essentially a gold mine and Maduro is very authoritarian, I knew he was gonna send in the troops despite his own country falling apart it is smart that oil could be the thing to save Venezuela at the cost of The Guianese
I'm a bit surprised by this story it is riddled with historical inaccuracies.
Its an Indian Network !
Mudero started with his madness again
This isn't about him, ask a Venezuelan about their map
Any president for both side will have to be included in business because gayana already own it country
No mapping error. Essequibo is the indigenous peoples territory 2010 i want to Guyana and all i see is oil and i was afraid and i awoke up😊😊😊loved Guyana ❤
CHAVEZ GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.🇺🇲🇬🇧🇮🇱👎🏻
I don't know why Venezuela claiming Essequibo when the Dutch were the first European settlers to be in Essequibo, then the British. The Dutch built Forts in that reagion, and the Spanish never set foot in that region. Columbus saw Guyana coast from the Atlantic Ocean.
Oil. Plus they are Russia's bitch so they are sent to cause trouble. Venezuela is about to get smacked
American: do you have oil?
No problem I got your back.

Bro think this through Exxon mobile is not giving u shit for protecting their stolen oil😂
Prayer for this of Venezuela President because guyana is a praying nation touch not my anointing we will pray you out of power
The report is wrong on many counts the Spanish had never establish a presence in Essequibo for it had been ruled by the DEutch who subsquently give way to the English. Venezuela claim is based on the division of the then New World by Spain and Portugal which the English and the Dutch didn't subscribe to
Good summary. As a Guyanese born in the Essequibo region , I’m not amused by this aggressive Venezuelan manoeuvre. Maduro needs to clean up his mess at home .
Spanish was never in essiquibo. Essiquibo is english speaking and belong to guyana.
The Spanish were literally the first europeans to explore the Essequibo. The british tried to take advantage of Venezuela and stole their territory. Go look at maps from the captaincy general of Venezuela and you will clearly see that the Essequibo is apart of it. This is just another case of british imperialism and exploitation of other countries resources which is currently happening there.
@@johnsingh2406 Yes John Singh. You definitely are Indian 😅
What mess? The hundreds of millions of people who live in POVERTY in Latin America and Caribbean? The 25% of Caribbean people who fled the Caribbean and are now living in the Ghettoes in New York and Toronto? The hunger and poverty in Guyana and the rest of the region?

Vene doesn’t want the land but they don’t want oil firms there either
Venuzela didn't care about Essequibo before! Venuzela wants Essequibo because of the oil now!
Don't do it Venezuela you will not like the consequences from the Leader of the free world America.
The world is slowly going back to conquer or be conquered.
Guyana and India have historical ties, shared by the Indian diaspora overthere, one of the largest and oldest in the Americas. Lately India made a militairy deal with Guyana so the ties are clear. Venezuela is buddies with CCP led China so this could easily hit India as well if not played well. As an Indo- Carribean from Suriname (also large Hindu/ Indian diaspora) living in the Netherlands, I can't stress enough how much problems Venezuela has caused recently. Refugees fleeing to the Carribean sea in search of food because the gov't can't provide for food is enough to tell you small peaceful Carribean nations like Guyan are not the agressors!!!
Go back to India. You are insane if you think India can help Guyana. Brazil would not allow India to do anything in that part of South America.
Not true guyana has ties with ccp also the same as Indians because Chinese came to Guyana around the same time as Indians we are a nation of 7 peoples ..don't try to segregate china help Guyana alot even before oil discovery ..Venezuela is acting on their own accord..under Chaves we had a great relationship rice for oil it's Maduro is an issue
You guys love to put religion as common ground how many Indians in guyana are Christians? Alot!before the oil where was Indian investment??but Chinese always invest in guyana even before we dreamt of oil exploration
Bro, I'm Guyanese- Surinamese living in NL, I know what I talk about. The Chinese migration in the 19th century consist out of Hakka Chinese during Imperial China. In that sense there is historic ties with China, as there is with Europe, with Indonesia, Nigeria, Ghana, Malaysia, Britain, Brazil etc etc etc. There is no historic ties with the CCP as the CCP came to power at least 80 years later.....
Oil investment is a economic and political choice. Britain and USA are largest 'investors'. Not India or China......
Beside, the role of religion especially Hinduism is not to be underestimated. Pandits travel to Bihar to learn more about Hinduism, families still travel to India to visit relatives. IF Hindostani Carribeans are Christian or Muslim, that does not mean the ties are broken.
13 percent is muslim and in my family we have muslims as well. Catholics, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhist and Atheist live together as a family. You are the one right now questioning this Indo- Carribean peace by mentioning that it's only Hinduism that it's mentioned.
Within the region there is trade of course, but it is and has been an issue with Venezuela. If one does not regard 2/3 or your country as theirs then there is not reason to not trade. This border issue was already known BEFORE Chavez took power, that doesn't mean it is not an issue. It is indeed a political choice with Maduro, but that doesn't mean the border issue was not there BEFORE Maduro took office.
Chaves/ Maduro IS allies with the CCP, is the CCP all of China? no, same as Maduro is not the same as all of Venezuela. It is a political issue and because you cannot comprehend that, does not make it my problem. Please take some reading lessons before you go ranting on the internet. @@jerrellholder8382
@@Suriyavanna I'm not questioning Hinduism or no religion all I'm saying as a guyanese born and bred that being from Indian diaspora don't have nothing to do with anything because before the discovery of oul india although have cultural ties never had any interest in guyana with regards to economic development...even jagdeo best friend and business partner is chinese with link to ccp..I know my country inside out

What ever happened to South American countries working together ❤️ in settlement of issues like 👍 this. America should stay out except for peace ✌️ negotiations.
Hi palki thank you for highlighting this but there was no mapping error.. Venezuela just made that claim and ran with the narrative for many years... I always enjoy your programme !
This is teue. Also Essequibo is pronounced as Essie qwee bo
We knew this was coming, and nothing's going to be done about it
A mapping error? 🤔 What a reach!
I hope Guayana defends itself because this is a hostile takeover!
The leader of Guyana making decision for Haiti so he get back up against Venezuela
maduro will not change the name because he knows it does not belong to venezuela but Guyana
Guyana don’t be fools please start to work on your own defense and don’t depend on outside countries alone.
Trouble is meant to be stirred, but be careful who you are stirring it with. The trouble you stirred may end up devouring you. Guyana is an independent country, and they love to stay independent. Any interference will be consequential. Venezuelan government be warned.
America "Yeah imagine the arrogant disrespect of stealing land and naming it New Mexico... I mean after you." Because Merica!!!
Thats right you take it Venezuela because u can.
What mapping error?
Americans and Brazil not going to let that happen..
Not a blade of grass,back off.
Let me get this right, because of the discovery of oil IN GUYANA, VENEZUELA NOW FEELS IT'S THEIR RIGHT TO SAY IT'S THEIRS!! 🤬

you dont know the hisstory of essequibo at all spanish never own or set foot on essequibo all the have is a claim not facts native Guyanese of essequibo are not spanish or venezuelian and there is nothing to dispute . and dont think my peope can be bullie. and dont watch our size because we are much larger than your army and i am not talking about 800,000 of which you see . that will be a big mistake for venezuelian . yo'll insulted my people and commeted crime agains my people and for that take my advise stay the hell out of Guyana or do your self a favor run to cuba if the venezuelian try to cross Guyanese boarders. and dont forget after seeing all the disrespect that we have endore, Venezuelians had already armed us . Guyanese should have lot of jail cells for yo'll if yo[ll are lucky.
