Suriname's Map Misstep and Venezuela's Earthquake
Description
Suriname’s persistent border claims over the New River Triangle—despite being settled decades ago—are back in the spotlight after officials displayed outdated maps at an energy summit. This isn’t the first time: similar map mischief surfaced at a business conference last February, prompting a formal complaint, and just last year, Suriname’s Foreign Minister even summoned our ambassador over our development projects in the disputed area. The history is clear—Suriname’s aggressive stance dates back to 1962 and escalated in 1969 when they sent troops to seize the territory, only to be pushed out by our forces. It’s time we stand firm: if they pull out misleading maps at any event, our reps should walk out. Meanwhile, devastating earthquakes near Caracas have killed over 160 and injured nearly 1,000—our government’s relief efforts are urgently needed.
