Peb yaum kom tsoomfwv Meskas thiab Canadian tshem tawm tam sim ntawd lawv cov kev txwv tsis raug cai * rau Venezuela thiab txhawb kev siv zog ntawm kev sib haum xeeb ntawm tsoomfwv Venezuela thiab cov ntu tsis sib haum xeeb ntawm kev tawm tsam nom tswv.
Peb, cov koom haum undersigned thiab cov tib neeg nyob rau hauv US thiab Canada, txhawb hemispheric kev sib raug zoo raws li kev hwm rau lub sovereignty ntawm tag nrho cov neeg ntawm lub Americas. Peb muaj kev txhawj xeeb heev los ntawm kev siv cov kev txwv tsis raug cai, uas nws cuam tshuam loj heev rau cov neeg pluag tshaj plaws thiab feem ntau tsis zoo ntawm cov zej zog, kom yuam kev hloov pauv kev nom kev tswv thiab nyiaj txiag hauv tus muam txoj kev ywj pheej.
Kev xaiv tsa hauv Venezuela qhia tias feem coob ntawm Venezuelans tawm tsam kev rau txim, tsis hais lawv txoj kev xav ntawm tsoomfwv Maduro. Kev nplua tsuas yog ua rau muaj kev nyuaj siab los ntawm Vatican, Dominican Republic, thiab lwm tus neeg ua yeeb yam thoob ntiaj teb los daws qhov kev daws teeb meem rau qhov sib sib zog nqus polarization hauv Venezuela. Tsis tas li ntawd, kev rau txim ua rau muaj kev mob siab rau tsoomfwv cov kev xaiv nom tswv thiab Pawg Neeg Sawv Cev los daws cov teeb meem tseem ceeb ntawm kev lag luam thiab txiav txim siab lawv tus kheej txoj hmoo.
Txawm hais tias muaj kev xav siab ntawm cov neeg ua haujlwm hauv Washington thiab Ottawa, nws tsis yog qhov kev txhawj xeeb tiag tiag rau kev ywj pheej, tib neeg txoj cai, thiab kev ncaj ncees hauv zej zog uas ua rau muaj kev cuam tshuam tsis zoo rau Caracas. Los ntawm Thawj Tswj Hwm Obama tau lees paub tsis tseeb tus thawj tswj hwm txoj cai hais tias Venezuela sawv cev rau kev hem thawj kev nyab xeeb hauv tebchaws rau Tebchaws Meskas, rau UN Ambassador Nikki Haley tshaj tawm tias Venezuela yog "kev ua phem narco-xeev" uas hem lub ntiaj teb, kev siv hyperbole hauv cov xwm txheej diplomatic tsis tshua muaj txiaj ntsig. kom muaj kev thaj yeeb nyab xeeb ntawm lub ntiaj teb theem.
Nws tsis pub leejtwg paub tias Venezuela, tsis zoo li Mexico, Honduras, Colombia, Egypt, lossis Saudi Arabia, yog lub hom phiaj rau kev hloov pauv tsoomfwv los ntawm Asmeskas vim yog Venezuela cov thawj coj hauv kev tawm tsam US hegemony thiab kev tswj hwm ntawm neoliberal qauv hauv Latin America. Thiab tau kawg, Venezuela tuav cov roj loj tshaj plaws hauv ntiaj teb, nyiam ntau qhov tsis xav tau los ntawm Washington.
Teb Chaws Asmeskas thiab Canada tau sim thiab ua tsis tiav los siv Lub Koom Haum Asmeskas Tebchaws (OAS) los tsim ib lub bloc rau kev ua siab phem tawm tsam Democratic Charter tawm tsam Venezuela. Tsis ntev los no, Luis Almagro, tus Secretary General ntawm OAS, tau mus kom deb li deb tau los txhawb pej xeem cov lus cog tseg ntawm lub Tsev Hais Plaub Qib Siab uas tsis sib haum xeeb uas tau xaiv los ntawm cov neeg tsim cai lij choj tawm tsam thiab tso cai rau lawv siv OAS lub hauv paus hauv Washington DC rau lawv lub koob tsheej - tsis muaj kev pom zoo los ntawm txhua lub xeev OAS. Almagro tau ua li no delegitimized OAS, emboldened qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws thiab ua nruj ua tsiv cov ntsiab lus ntawm Venezuelan tawm tsam, thiab sab-lined siv zog ntawm kev kho kom haum xeeb.
Lub US-Canadian kev rau txim sawv cev rau kev siv dag zog yuam kev lag luam los tawm tsam ib lub tebchaws uas twb tau cuam tshuam nrog kev nce nyiaj nce ntxiv thiab cov khoom lag luam tsis txaus. Thaum hais tias yog lub npe ntawm kev txhawb nqa kev ywj pheej thiab kev ywj pheej, kev rau txim txhaum cai rau Venezuelan cov tib neeg txoj cai tib neeg txoj cai rau kev tswj hwm, raws li tau teev tseg hauv UN thiab OAS Charters.
Peb hu xov tooj rau cov thawj coj nom tswv hauv tebchaws Meskas thiab Canada kom tsis lees paub cov lus hais tsis txaus ntseeg thiab pab txhawb rau kev tshawb nrhiav cov kev daws teeb meem tiag tiag rau Venezuela cov teeb meem nom tswv thiab nyiaj txiag.
