247 Former MP Aldo Rebelo defended this Sunday (24) that the Brazilian government is opposing the possible establishment of a US military base in Guyana. “Brazil has a duty to veto the establishment of a foreign military base in South America, otherwise its strategic environment will descend into military escalation that will destroy Brazil’s geopolitical importance in the region. The raw nerve at the moment is “Guyana,” Rebelo said on X (formerly Twitter).
“This is it: The US intends to build a military base to ensure its companies’ exploration of Guyana’s oil, but they say Brazil’s oil exploration in the Amazon threatens the planet. There are those in the Brazilian government who believe that the US is right,” added Aldo Rebelo, who defends oil exploration on the equator’s edge.
According to Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil, the US government intends to militarize the territorial dispute between Venezuela and Guyana over the Essequibo region and to establish a military base in this oilrich area. For more than 100 years, Venezuela and Guyana, a former British colony and now a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, fought over the oilrich Essequibo region.
In 1966, the two countries signed the Geneva Convention to find a peaceful solution, but in 2018 Guyana filed a lawsuit with the International Court of Justice demanding legal recognition of the Paris Arbitration Court’s 1899 decision declaring the territory to the Land was awarded to Guyana.
The 1966 Geneva Convention was registered with the United Nations and governs border disputes between Venezuela and British Guiana and establishes measures to resolve the dispute, but none of the interim protocols have been ratified by Caracas.
