Venezuela and Gayana came to the Agreement on the non -use of force in the dispute against Essecibo, but Karakas's statements caused the outrage of Brazil. On Friday, February 2, a column of military equipment went to the northern border of Brazil according to tension as a result of Venezuela's requirements in relation to the Guyana Esekibo region.
More than two dozen armored vehicles arrived in Manus, and some to the boa-Vista, the capital of Rorym, where it is planned to increase the number of local garrison to 600 soldiers. Reunification with armored vehicles includes six Cascavel armored vehicles, eight Guarani armored personnel carriers and 14 all -wheel drive light vehicles Guaicuru. Heavy armored vehicles are transported on onboard trucks with trailers.
It is unclear whether these technical means will remain in the boa-Vista, whether they will be moved to the Pakareims on the border with Venezuela.
The border conflict covers the Guyana region of 160 thousand square kilometers, covered with thick jungles. Venezuela again made claims to Essecibo because of significant reserves of oil and gas found there.
Although in December last year Venezuela and Guyana agreed to refrain from using force and not to impair tensions, Karakas's statements caused new anxieties in Brazil. At a meeting held through Brazil last week, Venezuela promised to follow a diplomatic position.
However, Brazil refused to allow Venezuela to use its territory to invade Essecibo, motivating this with the absence of another land path through the jungle. The report of the headquarters of the Brazilian Armed Forces confirmed that Venezuela does not have sufficient military potential for invasion due to "minor logistics".
Although Brazil has developed a plan in case of unforeseen circumstances to prevent Venezuela's invasion of Guyan through its territory, it is stated that the probability of conflict is small and the possibility of peaceful settlement remains.
