Venezuela Closes Border and Suspends Flights With Colombia for 72 Hours Until Monday
Jan 10, 2025, 12:34 PM
Venezuela has closed its border with Colombia and suspended flights between the two countries until Monday, January 13, 2025, citing an alleged 'international conspiracy' to disrupt peace. The closure, set to last for 72 hours from 5 a.m. on Friday until 5 a.m. on Monday, was announced by Freddy Bernal, the governor of the Venezuelan state of Táchira. The Colombian government was informed of this unilateral decision through diplomatic channels, but emphasized that its borders would remain open. The move comes ahead of the presidential inauguration of Nicolás Maduro, who is set to begin his third term amid accusations of electoral fraud and international isolation.
