UN should step in and do justice to the people of Venezuela. 😢from world citizens.
Allahu Akbar UN can participate in announcing the winner,lift all sanctions,Venezuela will be a veto power nation
The UN stepped in an created 1948 Israel. Careful what you wish for!
I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 6 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. ””””””””””””””””””””” ””””””””””””””””””””””””’ ””””””””””””””””””””””””’ ””””””’ My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 15,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 45,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw…The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717415667 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/–~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i. i.I.|-…………..
Allahu Akbar the opposition is too old,just like sleeping joe
And Trump isn’t?😂
So when Trump says the US vote was rigged, it’s fake news but when Venezuela does, it’s fact. What a joke.
There’s nothing real with “little people” calling the shots. Democracy is an illusion. It’s never been, nor will it ever be real, anywhere in the world. People are not smart, nor educated enough for a true democracy anyway, so don’t sweat it. It if were real, it would just be a different kind of problem.
Copying the US fake skit lol.
Allahu Akbar congratulations Maduro,UN too should congratulate MR Maduro and lifte all sanctions
Eww
Message for Al Jazeera: To be fair and balanced on this subject for your viewers, could you please do a story on “Operation Money Badger,” and any other operations regarding Venezuela with respect to United States involvement in regime change in Latin America, also with respect to the “Monroe Doctrine”. Again, just to be fair and equitable.
Every so often Al Jazeera shows it’s bias, Qatar being an ally of the US.
Multiple countries, including supposed Venezuelan allies like Russia and China are playing games in Venezuela. But keep crying about some things America does.
Venezuela is a failed state because of Venezuelans and the Venezuelan government. They ruined their country. They need to fix it.
BBC quoted Maduro as having said he would win the elections “by hook or by crook” – which seems to suggest willingness to commit fraud. But the phrase he used in Spanish and which was thus translated by BBC was: “a como dé lugar”, which translates to English in DeepL translator as “at any cost”. That phrase does not necessarily have negative connotations. But BBC chose to use “by hook or by crook” as the translation. I have noticed that Lula doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to congratulate Maduro, so we’ll see how things turn out.
If anyone believes the BBC after all the fake news they have spread past 10 months, I would admire their dedication to their madness, wilful ignorance and blind faith.
Which on supports Palestine
Gaza hasn’t had free and fair elections in 16 years.
Maduro from what I understand. This video made me think that we should be on the side of the opposition, but that woman is super pro-Israel and apparently they are right-wing and supported by the US.
Seeing as nobody believed that Lukashenko of Belarus could have won 80% of the vote in 2020, I find it equally as ludicrous that Gonzales would have got as high as 70% as well. The establishment must think we’re morons.
no that’s a false equivalence you pulled out of thin air. you must think we’re morons
@@teotronia I do if you think that ANYONE anywhere in the world could get as high as 70% for real.
@@RealOGfikeyBavaria ( Germany) used to have a governor ( Franz Joseph Strauss) that ran on the slogan %50+ …. in a 3 and 4 party race.
I believe he got 75% one year.
…. fair and square.
( one of the few “good old boys ” governments that actually worked for everyone)
Zelenskyy got 70% of the vote in 2019 in a free and fair election. I believe that Maduro is corrupt enough to steal the election from an honest choice of the people wanting change.
Zelenskyy got 70% of the vote in a free and fair election.
Do they have ballot voting or what
Is the US going to invade Venezuela?
America doesn’t like the result 😂😂😂
I’m assuming the opposition is America-backed?
@@VDOlessshe schooled in America , wants the country to open up for some blackrock, state street and vanguard investments (go read about them if you don’t understand), she wants more western and American allies and she’s not even the leader of the opposition that’s the most funny part 😂. The leader contesting for the seat is an old man but she’s his puppeteer why America is her puppeteer.
Speak for yourself.
Clearly from all the videos shared…the venezuelan PEOPLE don’t like the result
@@VDOless the Communist Party of Venezuela has rejected the government and called for free elections. The opposition is everyone who is done with a failed government and bus driver playing dictator. Stop injecting nonsense into this. Not everything is about America, even if they have sanctions have been involved in Venezuela.
Venezuela is a failed state because of Venezuelans.
It’s time for AJ and every other media outlet to declare the opposition won the election.
Based on ?
@@coltith7356
The facts
@@robertbones326 Yeah the “the facts” isn’t a fact. Maybe give “the facts” instead of trying to be catchy next time
@@coltith7356 based on: actual truth. The kind of truth that implies you and are texting in this cs right now.
@@coltith7356 Multiple independent monitors have reported countless irregularities. Do you truly think watching a YouTube short will give you all the facts? There is zero doubt the government shamelessly stole this election, unlike all of their other elections.
The CIA HAND PICKED PUPPET CANDIDATE LOST. HA! Ha! Ha! Grow up and get over it. CIA FAILED TO STEAL THE ELECTION. The Venezuelan population and citizenry WON THIS ONE !
This news outlet has 2 sets of news, one facing the west and another facing Arab and socialist countries all with different editorial. Any journalist working for this al Jazeera fake news is a psychopath
Machado like the cuban dictator? 🤔
Sometimes I cant understand how Al Jazeera, who understands Western propaganda against Palestinians, is not as critical when it comes to other Western Imperialist projects, like couping Maduro, Russia and China.
Not surprised. Heck, Trump won the ladt US elections with 137% of the vote… 😅
History shows the opposition are liars backed by the US. Why did she not say what the pre election polls said. Just a generic statement
Usa be like freedom lets involve
Given that Venezuela … and its people, could be richer than Saudi Arabia or Dubai…. they need change. Don’t know why they can’t get Russia and china to pump oil.
Because America and Britain
@@kumarj4693 because applesauce and lemonade?
Throwing out two names isn’t an answer.
America and Europe placed sanctions on Venezuela due to the political crisis. Venezuela is unable to prosper because of this and they aren’t able to create a proper democratic and stable economy.
Corruption basically destroyed this countries development. Which is sad because it used to be the richest country in SA
@drinkingjuice833 they did steal the oil industry instead of doing it propperly like the Saudi.
…. but why would the Russians and Chinese be concerned with US imposed sanctions?
Someone needs to start pumpkin because that poverty is ridiculous.
Exactly as it was between Biden&Trump!
Didn’t understand
Another US puppet tried the same trick 5 years ago and it didn’t work and won’t work this time
Commentator go make money giving it away you will make much more while you are young
YTF do I assume aWARerica is Bhind this again?
Their oil& antisocialism previously so……..
This is exactly what the Democrats wanted to do to Trump with 95 felony convictions!!…now they want to change the Supreme Court
I don’t trust Maduro to be honest.
I don’t trust America either but i know who really won here and it was not them
The opposition leader is a muse of the American multinationals. She has always been backed by the Anglo Saxon empire and her vested interests.
There’s only one way to influence an election in Venezuela. Money. Soros has money.
The USA is overthrowing another government in South America, what is new
She trying to pull a Trump. If we don’t like the results, we can just lie and say they did. The irony.
If you don’t know the irregularities that occurred in Venezuela, you have zero room to talk. The vote was callously and shamelessly robbed. This was not like before where you could somewhat believe the results despite tampering. But continue living in an America obsessed world.
The majority of the people of Venezuela do not want Maduro and the starvation and poverty he causes. Just like the majority of America did not elect Brian dead Biden.
Only nazis question election…
Israel did this
Bullshit. The CIA supports the opposition… Of course.
The Venezuelan people are tired of communism which only brings poverty, hunger, oppression, exile and death.
What do you mean “their tallies”? No, THE tally is that Maduro, the socialist dictator, is out.
