Venezuela: Mass march to military airport supports Guaido's call for aid
Supporters of Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido marched to La Carlota military airport in Caracas on Saturday, demanding military support in allowing the entry of humanitarian aid into the country.
Protesters gathered outside the airport gates to cheer, chant and demand that the military switch sides in the ongoing aid entry contention.
The protest came after Guaido called for nation-wide mobilisation to demand aid being let into the country.
At the request of Guaido, the aid brought by US military planes has been stockpiled in the border town of Cucuta and is expected to be carried across the border by a number of Venezuelan volunteers.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has stated that the aid is nothing but a US plot to disguise an intervention in Venezuela. It is uncertain if the aid will be allowed to cross the border.
