Little later, US President Trump announced the detention of Maduro for his alleged involvement in \u201cnarco-terrorism\u201d. Underlining somehow the renewed US aspiration for hegemony in the region, he also announced the US would \u201crun\u201d Venezuela, seize its oil exports and manage oil revenues \u201cfor the good of the American and the Venezuelan people\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Although clearly in breach of international law, critique of the US attack was rather timid both within the US and among the international community. The EU issued a flaw statement reinstating the need for respect to international law in very general terms and Latin-American countries remained divided on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Many Venezuelans living outside the country reacted joyfully in hope for regime change and the end of political repression and the deep humanitarian crisis in the country which had pushed 8 million Venezuelans into exile, mostly in neighbouring countries and the US.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, President Trump sidelined Peace Nobel Prize winner Maria Corina Machado and Delcy Rodriguez, Vicepresident of Nicolas Maduro was sworn in as Venezuela's new president leaving the government of the country largely unchanged and many questions about the US plans for Venezuela so far without clear answers.<\/p>\n<p>What comes next for Venezuela - is there any hope for regime change, for political prisoners, for humanitarian relief and economic recovery?<\/p>\n<p>What does this renewed hegemonic US policy - called by some \u201cthe Donroe-doctorine\u201d mean for the region, in particular for \u201cVenezuela's allied like Cuba and Nicaragua?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Panellists: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Roxana Vigil<\/strong>, international affairs fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, former director for Andean affairs at the National Security Council, Washington, <em>online\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mariano de Alba, <\/strong>Venezuelan lawyer specialised in international law Associate Fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, London; former expert on Venezuela for the International Crisis Group.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Feliciano Reyna-Ganteaume, <\/strong>Venezuelan human rights activist, member of the coordination platform of humanitarian NGOs and co-author of various reports on the human rights situation in Venezuela for the UN Human Rights Council<\/p>\n<p>Moderator:<br \/>\n<strong>Irene Horejs<\/strong>, Former EU Ambassador, curator at the Bruno Kreisky Forum specialised on Africa and Latinamerica as well as development and humanitarian policy<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHAT NEXT FOR VENEZUELA UNDER THE \u201cDONROE DOCTRINE\u201d?
