Brazil bolsters northern border amid Venezuela and Guyana clashes

"Brazil bolsters defense actions along its northern border in response to territorial disputes with its neighbors, Guyana and Venezuela, according to Reuters.

"The Ministry of Defense has been monitoring the situation. Defensive actions have been intensified in the northern border region of the country, promoting a greater military presence," the statement said. Brazil decided to relocate more military resources to the north due to escalating tensions between Venezuela and Guyana over the oil-rich region known as Esequiba, which constitutes over two-thirds of Guyana's total territory.
It became known that on December 3, Venezuelans will vote in a referendum regarding rights to Esequiba." MS
