Venezuela conflict

The conflict in Venezuela started when they needed to choose a new president because Chavez died. The elections started and the mayor candidates were Nicolas Maduro and Henrique Capriles. Nicolas Maduro beat Henrique Capriles with a small difference of votes, but everyone believed that it was a fraud because no one liked Maduro. All the Venezuelans were frustrated because a man with no studies will govern their country for 6 years.

Everyone knew that a period of dictatorship was coming because Maduro was the pupil of Chavez.  His government started and Venezuela’s economy started to fall because he had no idea what he was doing. The government was stealing the money and the citizens were the ones who get affected. In the stores the food was missing so people need to fight against each other in order to obtain what they want.

The chaos in Venezuela started, so a group of people guided by Capriles decided to make a pacific revolt. Everything went wrong; people were killed because the police was ordered by the government to do that atrocity. One of the leaders that were against Maduro was sent to jail because he was going to get killed. This shows the insecurity in Venezuela, and the tyranny created by Maduro in order to maintain the power.

Now everyone is afraid and upset because the can get killed if they do something against this government. I believe that the only solution is to ask help to stronger countries to help them remove Maduro from the power. People need to unify in order to win this conflict; just like they did in Libia with Muamar Gadafi.
