A Facebook page, which, when translated, means “My Venezuelan Map Including Our Essequibo” is rallying national (Venezuelan) support for the use of force against Guyana in seizing the Essequibo territories.

Here is a recent post made on the 5th of October 2019.

The new US ambassador to Guyana, Perry Halloway believes that the 1899 award that resolved the border conflict between Guyana and Venezuela must be respected by both sides.
At his first press conference on Monday at the US embassy, ​​Ambassador Halloway told reporters that the United States believes that both Guyana and Venezuela should continue to respect the 1899 award.
“We call on all parties to continue respecting the arbitration award of 1899 in power and limits unless or until a competent judicial body decides otherwise or both parties agree otherwise,” Halloway said.
He recalled that the land border between Guyana and Venezuela was placed by an arbitration award in 1899 “and that is a fact and that it was duly implemented by both parties.”
The Ambassador said that the United States was satisfied with the latest actions of the United Nations in facilitating talks between President David Granger and Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Mr. Halloway said that both presidents should continue to keep that communication channel open.
Specifically asked by “News Source” if the US They have been paying more attention to the latest conflict in the wake that an American company is at the center of the conflict, as oil exercises will be conducted in Guyana waters, Mr. Halloway said the US He is concerned about the issue Guyana has with Venezuela, as well as the US oil company at the center of the latest controversy. He said the two issues are two different issues and are being addressed in that way.
“We have a policy of ensuring that US companies and their rights are protected by international law” Halloway added that he does not believe that the US government’s opinion on the current situation between Guyana and Venezuela would be different due to the presence of a company American.
Halloway said he is convinced that the best way to deal with border conflicts that exist around the world would be through dialogue and peace.
The new US ambassador presented his credentials to President David Granger last Friday and held “very brief” talks with the President on issues of interest to Guyana and the US. He said he is working to establish a more substantial meeting.
Guyana has been pressuring the international community for support since Venezuela revived an old decades border dispute that Guyana maintains settled in 1899.
Guyana has always had the backing of the United States on the subject. ” – Roughly translated from Spanish

This is obviously a Page run by a group of Maduro hardliners. However, the reality is that if the Venezuelan economy regains traction under Maduro’s Leadership (which it is unlikey to), then Guyana faces a real and serious danger from its Western Neighbor.

The Trump Administration is pushing for Maduro’s resignation from government and we’d like to urge all Guyanese to stand in full support of the United States in its actions against the troubling Maduro Regime.
