Every 2 seconds a person is forced to flee that nearly 71000000 people around the world have been forcibly displaced more than ever before one is Marion Saudia who now lives in bali and every month she sends money to venezuela so that her family doesnt go hungry. Oh yeah. Ive. Been living with the local. All. And i know messy to go. Now. Wasnt it but i. Gotta get the ticket. At least. I have a good point that i have of the money go. I have all. Known of them most certainly look you know like want to go but im a kid our local me boy. Ok but when im home vs the. Smoke a time in town. Millions of venezuelans have left the country fleeing poverty and despair even though venezuela has the largest Proven Petroleum reserves in the wild. Venezuela was once south americas richest nation now its a commie has collapsed sparking one of the worst migrant crises of recent years d. Says about to use is a venezuelan journalist whos been documenting the crisis. Over the last figure go to jail and there are help them out of orbit on whatever level they all you know have already taken out the military there in the morning and n. O n n i outlived their own you know the net. Or anything and you know they are an advantage of. A kilo of meat for 1st 100000 believe us more than twice the countrys average monthly wage many people are angry and afraid protests have swept the country in the capital caracas and elsewhere Security Forces have responded with violence hundreds of people killed. Last. We are able to determine that some people were killed because their names were on the governments Food Assistance list but if the people in charge of those lists inform the security authorities that they taking part in antigovernment protests. That it. Its very worrying. The lists are a form of social control they determine who has a right to food. And they determine whos for or against moderates government at the end of. Their of their. Say so but this is embodied in us the state in the northwest of the country as editor of the online news site and hes taken on a powerful opponent the government of president Nicolas Maduro. In thrall to money and greed the countrys oil riches have proven to be a cuss. All across refinery is 300 kilometers east of caracas the countrys abundant oil reserves are belied by the desolation here venezuela is not alone in this paradox other nations rich in oil such as nigeria and golan sudan are ruled by a corrupt elite while ordinary people live in better poverty corruption and mismanagement helped fuel the instability that drives people to flee countries in the top 10 of transparency internationals Corruption Perceptions and next major contributors to the International Migrant crisis places like afghanistan syria south sudan and somalia. In venezuela the crisis has reached a. Mentions poverty has always been a fact of life here but when oil prices were high then president chavez launched ambitious social programs awash in petro dollars the country also continue to take on debt corruption further drain public coffers. Crash of 2014 was the final blow. Thanks its the most vulnerable who have suffered the most. Her. Lives with her 7 children in a slum on venezuelas caribbean coast. Our. Goal you. Give us a. Little my husband went to peru because of the crisis where you are he went there to send us help here at home. If he hadnt gone there we would have died of hunger. That we were on one of them we would have starved to death that sunday when all of them. Was up on. C. N. N. All the last summer when he has no work for a week he cant send me any money. But as in we have only one meal a day i try to feed the children at 2 in the afternoon with a little and they spend the rest of the day sleeping. In the me and again nothing to get any of us they asked me for food. But they understand when i tell them we dont have any money left there sometimes they cry. Its not easy when your children beg you for food but you have nothing to give them. Its hard really hard. Life but. The United Nations food and Agricultural Organization has warned that venezuela may be on the brink of famine. Like many in the country and theyre lucky hard as children havent been to school in months they cant afford the bus fare. And theyre looking hard i goes to the supermarket once a week but only when her husband has sent money from peru. She can only get the benes sesa teas. Others in venezuela cant afford food at all. People with family abroad are the lucky ones its a bitter irony the more venezuelans flee abroad the more money flows back home. Thats been a boon for president Nicolas Maduro. His government needs hard cash. All accounts belonging to the state owned Oil Company Gave a son in the United States have been frozen deep to sanctions. Then without the remittances sent by migrants the state would be unable to import even basic foodstuffs and medicines. That the. Venezuelans happy leaving in droves weve got a collapse of the Health Care System and soaring Child Mortality goes without travel documents across the border to colombia illegally the brain drain is an especially better blow to many of those fleeing are doctors lawyers and teachers highly educated people that are badly needed at home. By june 2019 some 4000000 venezuelans have left the country out of a total population of just 30000000. Venezuela was once considered a beacon of prosperity caracas its glittering modern capital. Corruption didnt begin with president chavez who died in 20 for a teen but in the 20 years since chavez 1st took Office Corruption and mismanagement have spiraled out of control. One of the linchpins of this system was Rafael Ramirez he served as minister of energy under charges and at the same time as president of the pdvsa oil company for years his loyalty to chavez allowed the president to dip into the countrys petro dollars at will without parliamentary oversight or accountability. Javas had nearly unchecked access to oil revenues. Some went to fund far reaching social programs but billions also vanished into private coffers. Today at the end as both his friends and foes called him has gone into hiding in exile. Well. You must see them as use it to seem to me id estimate that Petroleum Exports brought in about 700000000000 dollars over the 10 years i was in office ok let the people by my calculation 480000000000 of that they came from taxes got the rest from the producers Petroleum Sales be sold 700000000000 this is. The big question is you number one of the state do with that money so thats the big question going 2nd leading up to the its a question say self but hes has also lost himself hes in neighboring colombia to carry out the research for nearly a quarter of venezuelan refugees more than a 1000000 people have ended up in the country that oh oh oh. 000000000 there was a lot. Of the. Oh. Oh. The venezuelan government sometimes blocks access to the border some young venezuelans have gathered in colombia under one of the border bridges. Venezuelan state media has a blackout on stories like this but says up the ts will report on it. I do with this you know there is no freedom of expression no which i dont we fight to preserve it every day risking that our websites will be blocked no hes shooting in port and that will be publicly insulted yamin threatened with jail in up before have our passports confiscated at the airport according to the messiah plotter but. Vera rage spills over the young people launch an attack against moto Security Forces they throw rocks and a metal tear gas and rubber bullets. It. Was like look at that. Particular i didnt think it was. But hes goes to meet with one of the duros opponents. These exiles know the system from within and are important sources. One man here used to be a close friend of the child his family with a swell. Number system would be the systematic persecution again the very same day i submitted evidence of the child as Family Structure to parliament somebody had asked not to look for me they want to see a child we have evidence that more than 30 farming estates were involved in that corruption. Later on but i guess we actually gave that to the parliamentary audit committee. We are you going to say i was jailed and 2010. Out of my family was persecuted and being my brother died in 2000 i am on a meal for us and i mean the way we fight his economy die you know he was shot for not these murders yesterday now. See. What else is. Wrong. I think its self self this in your mind. When you do this. In 2017 when the us was a was sent to prison for more than a year. The opposition lawmaker was only one of countless political prisoners. Like about 30 other parliamentarians aswat he had no choice but to flee. This video was taken by Prison Guards who sent it to us while his family in order to help his words so its not all state employees a loyal to my do it all. For you. In this one only told me this mayor is a criminal state and it has a society of accomplices school b. C. And this is diety includes many civilian and military accomplices. And they are all corrupt. And theyre all in it together immediately. Venezuelas political decline began under president chavez. His economic policies paved the way to a morass of corruption. The countrys strict Currency Exchange system in particular opened the door to massive fraud. Business elites politicians and state officials obtain state subsidized dollars through the central bank. These dollars were then sold at a huge profit on the black market was a positive directly in foreign bank accounts. The stated ministration remains riddled with corruption. Billions in public revenues have gone missing. In the Industrial Hub of mother most factories lie a band less than 20 percent of factories in venezuela are still in operation industry has been driven into ruin. Under chavez Numerous Companies were expropriated or nationalized and then were driven into the ground by mismanagement rather than support private in the. Street javas used petro dollars to import goods from abroad this help to redistribute wealth and power away from the old Business Elite and increase ordinary peoples dependency on the government venezuela is not entirely reliant on the export of petroleum gold and call time almost all necessities have to be imported. And as rough ale i mean as admits the country made another fateful economic era. A little blissfully look at us manure oh installed his military war engines to keep positions in industries that look easy to the man who heads the Petroleum Industry as a general series general computer over 20142017 orders the crushing of the protests that a senator but its all is said here for a little bit now hes head of the Petroleum Industry. And knows nothing about it hes duros installed military people in all key industry positions so well you know for them they have no idea how to run an oil industry or the most human having looked at a bit of a. Bio production has collapsed due to mismanagement output is now the same as it was in 1045 along with the oil industry the military also controls the black market and gasoline state subsidized gasoline in venezuela is cheap a bottle of water costs more than a 1000 liters of gasoline sold on the black market in colombia its worth a fortune. That i mean as witnessed this corruption from the inside and who knows whether as whalen and leeds have stashed that dirty money. To keep on the left in sleeper use the bottom line is today i believe that at least 30 percent of government revenue has been lost to corruption. In fact are mechanisms by which money is siphoned out of our country its a little dialogue on the basis that money flowed into private bang. Oh its in Major Industrial nations its not in zimbabwe its in private accounts in europe and the United States. He stuck. A system of state sponsored terrorism is maintaining my doodles hold on power but a paramilitary gangs who help quell any signs of popular dissent they have a strict code of silence and the government turns a blind eye in exchange for their loyalty. Commandante chavez called as the collective was a kind of urban guerrilla stroup. When chavez came to power the color t. V. Shows were street fighters who were supposed to keep the opposition in check. These socalled shock. Armed and deployed in case of civil unrest or the like. To suppress people who oppose the revolution. My daughters support has been doing but not among the collectables. They also still defend the socialist revolution others proclaimed in 1908. Theres one man in this country who wants to improve things. But no ones listening to him he gives an order and everyone does what they want. How can anyone rebuild a country that way. And make a mess of bands i never imagined id have to live venezuela one day i had a career that allowed me to see what my family movie we could buy what we needed a penny and even if it wasnt easy. But then it went downhill and we had no food we didnt live well you know. Maybe i will be and when marian soria still lived at home in venezuela she was a member of an elite unit of Police Called fire which has gained a reputation as a government death squad. According to a un report theyve carried out fastens of extrajudicial killings they target criminal gangs as well as ordinary people who have taken part in protests. Mariam was recruited after she graduated from university she spent 12 months with as before deciding to quit after witnessing an extrajudicial killing. Perez. And at the time there was a search underway for our scott perez by the state. He was an opponent of Nicolas Maduro and was plotting to overthrow him. And said thats why he was officially designated a terrorist there long enough that already. This was a former Police Officer who commandeered a military helicopter and dropped 2 stun grenades over the Supreme Court in caracas no one was injured perez had hoped to spark a military coup and free the country from corruption but he was cool for an uprising went nowhere. At that everyone was looking for us got pessimists and we received information that he was somewhere near el cerrito. When we went to his hideout. Then we began our raid. At 3 in the morning on january 14th 2018 the torso then nato and then bombing there. Youre all. As a member of this. Witnessed what happened when paris was tragic. Were going to im going to you know you know getting really are going very well get out of the. Whole thing so they are finally you know theyre saying well ok that was the day when i realized i didnt belong there you know why i had a nervous breakdown. And i cried all the time and said thats it for now i can see why should i be involved in things like this he i didnt go to university to kill people that are more to have my boss come to me and tell me to kill someone and if i dont theyll kill me if every many go out might that look the same on my calling but then i will. I. I i was. Leaving her daughter behind with her parents in venezuela was the price she had to pay for survival. Of. The state tara her writers doesnt treat those who turn their back on it kindly. One for they have a stable so when you leave a state institution where you have information about people you worked with set up but thats not a risk they want to take that people who quit especially who quit 5 people usually leave venezuela fact and otherwise theyll be killed also because theyll just say you were killed during a robbery and also theyre saying they dont like that all at all after. Joe i mean never mind. I send my mother money every week or 2 it depends sometimes they need something unexpected like medicine and medicine is very expensive also put up on a lot of money but normally what i sent them every 2 weeks is enough for food and for daycare. You know. I left the has been living with her grandparents since january 28th like many other venezuelan children whose parents have fled. Other 100 doesnt have a passport and obtaining one is difficult in venezuela at the moment as a result maddie on hasnt yet been able to bring her daughter to germany. Meanwhile many others father and has so he is dealing with his own problems. That i hold. For all the daughters are getting pulled over for the daughter they call im a coconut for. By the it all coconut producers in this region have to Pay Protection money. But on the what if we refuse they threaten us and sabers like youre allowed on our farts and. Into little tell us why we dont go there anymore. Its just abandonment then its here in the bay until theyre out on the not a. Little but that harvest was how we earned a living those who went to more like what are we supposed to do no i dont have to go but what will happen there are no longer able to work our land and to harvest our crops they moan diplomacy. Criminal gangs are now in charge of his farm they sell his coconuts by the truckload mainly in colombia where they fetch a better price. Theres. No harm in it i dont know. Carlos trapani as a human rights lawyer. But the rule of law has eroded and obtaining a hearing in the venezuelan courts is next to impossible unless. The. Defendant because this is the call to 9 o 5 distribution would have to. We analyzed data from 1900 to 2010 to find out how many children and young people were killed by gun violence is more of the relevance and of all the districts we looked at the growth and this was one of the most dangerous ones googles. Top army is on his way to give a workshop plus a Catholic School hes a determined advocate especially on behalf of children kill or want to talk what does he enjoy it with a sort of painting music or art or what is he like in there we will draw up a plan for him completely does he like to draw seeing sketch work with clay thats the best way you know what i can only. Going to be done for some of the overcomer. Can. And are. Planning to move him down and. Ill. Come down. And i. Wont. Commit to the for. Instance you know my one of us are going to get in the coolest. The most famous serialism group little. Good looking the only good for those who love. The mickey oh youre. Not the open. Ocean kid may additional moment she should. Meet a. Simple question most of all going to plan. B. For what to give up on step closer but i dont know. I think and youll. Do something. Good nobody above drill no toys talk to me give it up if i. Do youll be seeing a. Stylist who cost of us and also can. Even look unlike you. Im on a path now for. A copy of. Makeup. Off venezuelans of bombarded with propaganda on state radio and t. V. Shows or at the hope going to last forever but im afraid to go back to the other one of those really. Good discipline for. The reality of never got a bunch of as. Strong. As it was a bit therefore not. Coming out there a way that i feel like a story but i guess lean is free and some real so for the currency reevaluation it costs. 150. 00 volley of us today that would be 0. 015 all of us cents this area thats a monetary unit that doesnt even exist so gasoline is basically given away here so i could have paid for that tank of gas with a koala to pull it out by dollar. If that was going on. There along the lines of the banks people can only withdraw the equivalent of 50 us cents a week from their accounts. Venezuela has the worlds highest inflation rate manoora has continued to print money to finance the deficit. Even among the top 5 venezuelas runaway hyperinflation is i was hearing. When and what if the uk was. Trapani is being interviewed at a private Radio Station there are only a few independent Media Outlets left in the country the pani is careful with his criticism no s. E. s the sanctions are not to blame for all the problems with the children if i think any of these problems have been around for a long time after 2007 something got much worse for the Child Mortality was increasing year by year even before the sanctions i think i mean on an obvious answer on. For a long time a duros regime tonight there was a crisis after the United States imposed sanctions that changed and now news of the crisis is everywhere. Carlos trapani is listening to a speech by the prosecutor general on state television. And you get the new benefit or even Bigger Picture while after you get it out of court from everything you. You know when i get out. Of the. Academia. But apparently i didnt. Know but i thought i did it for. A lot of. Them in my. Car last refuses to flee he wants to stay with his family and continue to work for change even though thats often a discouraging prospect. Look at a real i watch a mature some not only so that i can be a journalist without fear of the brain but so that my children can live in a more peaceful country away and so that my family can live well and in peace definitely it isnt by economics so that friends and family who have left the country come back again. Of course i want change he can always he can. Say somebody else is taking his children to school many critical journalists have been forced into exile so far hes been sped to the lead up to the keep the freedom to come you know you know but just look at what you do above the din would be ok. Most of the women have some of the men beaten down a bit of the orchestra but i want to come up with much money to. William aluminum a little. Bit but a lot of the most that id only pull out of. This vision of a pluri polo world has become a reality but not in the way that chavez had imagined today venezuela has become. The plaything of international interests. In february 29000 the United States sent humanitarian aid food delivery to venezuela seize up by police witnessed what happened. The 1st aid trucks were greeted with euphoria but soon the Border Crossing at the bridge became the scene of a propaganda showdown macdougall shot at the border trucks full of food and medicine were unable to pass protesters clashed with venezuelan Security Forces in the end 2 trucks went up in flames none of the aid reached but as well i. Am. I. 3 world powers are each pursuing their own names in fine as well are the United States russia and china. Well yeah. Yeah. Yeah so. Yes if you go to the u. N. And it is. Like syria and ukraine venezuela has a global strategic significance the United States and russia are jockeying for influence without russian intervention my daughters regime would likely have collapsed. China has maintained its economic and trade ties to venezuela hoping to gain access to the countrys vast natural resources. Venezuela has become a bargaining chip in a glow. Game of poker and a number of countries are hoping to solve the crisis to that own advantage. I spoke to. I went to china. I spoke with president rouhani of iran with president bush a flicker of algeria so the gulf states i understand or. I attended opec meetings for 12 years and i met minister and i am me and all the Oil Ministers my i love to see on the fracking and. I knew it wasnt just fracking in the United States i dont want a confrontation between the gulf monarchies in your rant. And between the gulf states or russia. I would fracture the unity of all big states. He said look at the deficit has overtaken libya and syria the geopolitical terrain has shifted africa and north africa and the mediterranean and oil is a key factor. Here. The geo political terrain is shifting and in this new cold war new countries are becoming a battleground for competing interests. While the citizens of those countries are being left to fend for themselves millions of people will continue to find themselves displaced forced to flee for their survival. Huddle. Around. The heart of the really what has. Come out of the moment how do we know. For ukraine theyre going. To be any. I know you can i would ask him to notice a millimeter for me. When i. Say for. The council and see if. This is how it is every day so my maid actually never wants to talk to me. I think avoiding me is her way of telling me she misses me she tells me im tired im sleeping my grandma has told me to clean my room. I ask her why did she send you away to clean your room you know it is yes bye bye im very busy then well go 5 shes always looking for an excuse not to talk to me. And when she wants to its too late over here says it can with practice. Its quite as simple as it seeks. To understand the world better we need to take a closer more. Experience knowledge into. The to.
