Venezuela’s Jus­tice Min­is­ter Dios­da­do Ca­bel­lo in his lat­est state­ment about T&T is warn­ing that T&T must not be al­lowed to be­come an­oth­er Colom­bia, Venezuela’s South Amer­i­can neigh­bour wrecked by decades of gueril­la war­fare re­sult­ing in over quar­ter mil­lion deaths.

Ca­bel­lo spoke on Tues­day dur­ing a me­dia brief­ing from the Venezue­lan state of Zu­lia where he re­port­ed on the progress of in­tel­li­gence work there, which has led to the dis­cov­ery of new ev­i­dence re­gard­ing ter­ror­ist plots and desta­bil­i­sa­tion plans linked to the Venezue­lan op­po­si­tion.

“Let us re­mem­ber when the Prime Min­is­ter of T&T said they were go­ing to use lethal force against Venezuela. The gen­tle­man of Trinida­di­an ori­gin was the one who brought the weapons from T&T. He con­fessed and that is what we are warn­ing about so that T&T does not be­come Duque’s Colom­bia (Iván Duque, for­mer Colom­bian pres­i­dent) and al­low con­spir­a­cies against a neigh­bour­ing coun­try from its wa­ters, from its soil. We will de­fend our­selves against who­ev­er it maybe, at any time,” Ca­bel­lo said.
