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 berlin every month she sends money to venezuela so that her family doesnt go hungry. Move into through. All. I dont know messy though. Now. That i set. This up like. That at least. I know i have a negative but i think of the money. Lets have. No i dont know the most i know you dont have one to go but ultimately get out of local media. Ok but im going im only bessies the. Smoke a time in town so. Millions of venezuelans have left the country fleeing poverty and despair even though venezuela has the largest Proven Petroleum reserves in the world. Venezuela was once south americas richest nation now its a commie has collapsed sparking one of the worst migrant crises of recent years. Say so but he is a venezuelan journalist whos been documenting the crisis. All the little figure going to jail and their god help them out of orbit on one of a global although no one had already taken the military thing in the morning and. And. Oh yes and i have no uplink their own you know the net current level of thing and here they are an advantage of. A kilo of meat for 1st a 1000 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 Authority that theyve taken part in antigovernment protests. That if i realize 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. Then. They will. 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 curse. The cueto 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 angola and 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 index a major contributors to the International Migrant crisis places like afghanistan syria south sudan and somalia. In venezuela where the crisis has reached. 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 and the oil 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. Holy. Even closer its a. Battle my husband went to peru because of a crisis where you know he went there to send us help here at home. If he hadnt gone there we would have died of hunger. Then we were on one of them we would have starved to death that sunday when a lot of them like. I. Cut. C. N. N. All loved 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. And they spend the rest of the day sleeping. Living in a game of being they asked me for food. But they understand when i tell them we dont have any money sometimes they cry. Its not easy when your children beg you for food but you have nothing to give them. That its hard really hard. Place. The United Nations food and Agriculture Organization has warned that venezuela may be on the brink of famine and. Like many in the country theyre leckie hard as children havent been to school in months they cant afford the bus fare. Near leckie hut i goes to the supermarket once a week but only when her husband has sent money from peru. She can only get the banas sesa teas. Others in venezuela cant afford food at all. People with family abroad are the lucky ones its a better 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. Them without the remittances sent by migrants the state would be unable to import even basic foodstuffs and medicines. That. Venezuelans hoping leaving and drugs leave home got a collapse of the Health Care System and soaring Child Mortality those with. Travel documents across the border to colombia illegally the brain drain is an especially better blow 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 because its a glittering modern capital. Corruption didnt begin with president chavez who died in 20 for 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 chavez 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 epic as both his friends and foes call him has gone into hiding in exile. Me you must soon as you said the simple i just met the Petroleum Exports brought in about 700. 1000000000 dollars over the 10 years i was in office ok let went the good thing by my calculation 480000000000 of that came from taxes we got the rest from the beauty of this is Petroleum Sales because it is all 700 billions it is. The big question is you number one of the state do with that money so thats the big question going as a country and living 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. The. The word of. God. The. The. The the. 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 read the history of not just their freedom of expression no which im told we fight to preserve it every day risking that our websites will be blocked no hes shooting in porn and that will be publicly insulted yamin friends with jail in up before have our passports confiscated at the airport to conglomerates i mean plotters but. Verret spills over the young people launch an attack against mcdougall Security Forces. They throw rocks and are met with tear gas and rubber bullets. But what i didnt get at that. Particular game 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 swastika. Opposite someone he was the systematic persecution again in the very same day i submitted evidence of the child his familys corruption to parliament our somebody had asked not to look for me live to see a child we had evidence that more than 30 farming estates were involved in that corruption. Later on but i simply and if you believe that the parliamentary audit committee. We are human as i was jailed in 2010. Out of my family was persecuted and being my brother died in 2000 i am on a meal for years it came away with 5 years ago how many die you he was shot for not these murders yesterday to. See. What else is. Wrong. I think. That he. Suffered self. In my eyes. In goods. In 2017 when the us one day was sent to prison for more than a year. The opposition all make it was only one of countless political prisoners. Like about 30 other parliamentarians aswat they 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. 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 called b. C. And this aside it includes many civilian and military accomplices. And they are all corrupt. And theyre all in it together in it that. 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 state Administration Remains riddled with corruption. Billions in public revenues have gone missing. In the Industrial Hub of malacca most factories lie abandoned 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 industry chavez 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. 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. Him a little pool swimming looking as. Installed his military war ends in zookeepers asians in industries that look even to the man who heads the Petroleum Industry as a general for his general computer buddies over 20142017 order the crushing of the protests that is sort of but its all its a hit for a little bit now hes head of the petroleum ministry. And knows nothing about it wait and see mode 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 at the most and then having to repeat the need. For the production has collapsed due to mismanagement output is now the same as it was in 1945 along with the oil industry the military also controls the black market in 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. But i think that i mean as witnessed this corruption from the inside and who knows whether in his way than elites have stashed that debt he money. To keep on the left in sleep theyre used to 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 middle of it and the place that money flowed into private Bank Accounts in Major Industrial nations its not in zimbabwe its in private accounts in europe and the United States that. Hes done. A system of state sponsored terror is maintaining my do those hold on power the collective voice of paramilitary gangs who help quell any signs of popular dissent they observe a strict code of silence and the government turns a blind eye in exchange for that 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. I. Might do those support has been doing but not among the collectibles. They also still to offend the socialist revolution chavez proclaimed in 1908. Or what were going to get. 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 the country that way. And come inside and say i never imagined id have to live in israel or one day i had a career that allowed me to support my family i mean we could buy what we needed her opinion even if it wasnt easy. But then it went downhill and we had no food we didnt live well welcome you know maybe i will grant that 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 u. N.

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 with them or to have my boss come to me and tell me to kill someone and if i dont theyll kill me if everything in any doubt might that look you saying oh my pulling my gun on me. I. Leaving her daughter behind with a paris in venezuela was the price she had to pay for survival. Of. Our state tara brightest doesnt treat those who turn that back on it kindly. One day a staple so when you leave a state institution and you have information about people you worked with seattle 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 so theyre saying well i might but i dont know that at all after. Joe i mean. I send my mother money every week or 2 it depends sometimes they need something unexpected like medicine cynical but and medicine is very expensive also put up on a lot of money but normally what i send them every 2 weeks is enough for food and for daycare. Has been living with her grandparents since january 28th like many other venezuelan children whose parents have fled. And a 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.

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. There is. From. God that i didnt 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 for. The. Defendant. This is the call to 9 o 5 distributable would have to agree and.
