The United States has captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and flown him out of the country in a stunning military operation that plucked a sitting leader from office following months of escalating Trump administration pressure on the oil-rich South American nation.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas. The government accused the United States of attacking civilian and military installations in multiple states.

Venezuela’s government, in the statement, called on its supporters to take to the streets.

“People to the streets!” the statement said. “The Bolivarian Government calls on all social and political forces in the country to activate mobilization plans and repudiate this imperialist attack.”

The statement added that President Nicolás Maduro had “ordered all national defense plans to be implemented” and declared “a state of external disturbance.” That state of emergency gives him the power to suspend people’s rights and expand the role of the armed forces.

    I think you’ll have a hard time finding allies if you can’t even express what you want to achieve. I’m not your enemy.

      Choosing not to spend my time explaining it to someone so insecure they accuse other people of botting them instead of accepting that they are posting an unpopular opinion is a reasonable choice on my part.

      This shit is important, and that energy is much better spent elsewhere. I have allies who deserve my time. You have gone to great pains to exclude yourself from that list, a choice you have made which I am respecting.

      I sincerely hope you have a nice day.
