The African Youth Ambassador, Luyimbaazi Issah Katungulu, has issued a strong condemnation of recent United States actions in Venezuela, describing them as a violation of national sovereignty and international law.
In a formal statement addressed to H.E. Fatima Yesenia Fernandes Juárez, the Venezuelan Ambassador to Uganda, Katungulu expressed deep concern over what he termed the invasion of Venezuela and the alleged kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. He described the actions as an example of state terrorism and a dangerous precedent in global affairs.
The African Youth Ambassador reaffirmed Africa’s solidarity with the people and government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, stressing the importance of respecting the will of the people and the legitimacy of elected governments. He warned that failure by the international community to decisively address such violations risks normalising the use of military force as a primary tool of international discourse.
According to Katungulu, allowing such actions to go unchallenged would represent a regression to a world that existed before the establishment of the United Nations — an era marked by lawlessness, instability, and devastating global conflicts.
He further expressed confidence in the resilience of the Venezuelan people, noting that unity and national cohesion would enable them to safeguard their independence, protect national interests, and continue on a path of development and progress.
The statement adds to growing international reactions and diplomatic engagements surrounding the situation in Venezuela, with calls from various quarters for respect for sovereignty, international law, and peaceful resolution of global disputes.
