Who burned the trucks with US supplies for Venezuela?
by Adriaan Alsema February 24, 2019
Colombias President Ivan Duque on Saturday blamed Venezuelas border authorities of burning trucks with American aid, but this is not supported by evidence or witness accounts.
The trucks caught fire while the Venezuelan National Guard were firing teargas at the caravan and hooded men threw Molotov cocktails and rocks at the armed forces of the neighboring country.
The incineration of the trucks effectively blocked the bridge connecting the two countries and ended opposition leader Juan Guaidos attempt to enter food supplies and medicine into his native country.
The blame game about the incident began almost immediately after the violence erupted that according to Colombias foreign ministry left at least 285 people injured, most because of tear gas.
In a press conference, Guaido went as far as accusing his countrys security forces loyal to authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro of having committed a crime against humanity.
