Opposition convoy heads for border as US threatens Venezuela
Trucks loaded with packages from USAid, which both the UN and Red Cross do not consider as humanitarian aid because of its partisan nature, head towards the as yet unopened Tienditas International Bridge in Cucuta, Colombia, on the border with Venezuela
A CONVOY of opposition leaders left Caracas for the border in white buses today, claiming they will obtain US aid currently waiting at the Colombian border and deliver it.
Self-proclaimed “president” Juan Guaido, an opposition MP in the defunct National Assembly, said he would head up the convoy but didn’t show up.
His fans said he would be travelling to the border incognito to avoid being turned back.
