VENEZUELA-GUYANA: VENEZUELA MAY BE PREPARING
TO INVADE THE ESSEQUIBO REGION OF GUYANA.
ARMS
AND MEN ARE BEING MOVED INTO THE AREA IN PREPARATION
FOR AN OPERATION AGAINST GUYANA.
VENEZUELA CLAIMS THE ESSEQUIBO REGION AND MAY
USE A TRUMPED-UP AMERINDIAN REBELLION AGAINST GUYANESE
AUTHORITY AS A PRETEXT TO SEIZE THE AREA.
THE VENEZUELANS WOULD MOVE IN RESPONSE
FOR HELP FROM THE GUYANESE AMERINDIANS,
BUT THE PLANNED NATURE OF VENEZUELAN SUPPORT REMAINS
UNCLEAR. THE VENEZUELANS WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ACTION
BEFORE PRESIDENT-ELECT CALDERA IS INAUGURATED MARCH.
THE GUYANESE DEFENSE FORCE COULD NOT DEFEND ITS
BORDER IN THE EVENT THAT VENEZUELAN TROOPS WERE IN-
VOLVED IN ANY NUMBER.
