Venezuelan migrants surge into Colombia as political crisis deepens

None

Increasing numbers of Venezuelans are crossing the border into Colombia to escape a worsening political crisis and economic meltdown, aid groups said on Thursday, putting more strain on social services and overcrowded shelters.

 

Venezuelan opposition leader, Juan Guaido, swore himself in as interim head of state on Wednesday, with the support of the United States and many Latin American nations, leaving Venezuela with two presidents.

 

Hundreds of thousands of anti-government protesters marched in Venezuela this week to demand the end of socialist President Nicolas Maduro's government.
