US forces seized the Venezuelan leader and took him out of the country after a series of strikes on the capital.
Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro will emerge as an enduring political symbol similar to Simon Bolivar, Fidel Castro, and Che Guevara, secretary of the Decolonial International Network Foundation, Sandew Hira, has told RT.
Maduro was kidnapped along with his wife, Cilia Flores, during a US raid on Caracas on Saturday. Washington accuses the Venezuelan leader of narco-trafficking and weapons offenses – charges he has denied.
Hira drew parallels between Maduro’s detention and the fate of anti-imperialist leaders throughout history, arguing that attempts to remove such figures often elevate their political stature rather than diminish it.
“Maduro has now been kidnapped, and Washington thinks that is the end,” he said. “But this is just the beginning of the next phase of the liberation struggle.”
Hira compared Maduro’s situation to that of Haitian revolutionary leader Toussaint Louverture, who was captured by French forces in 1802, two years before Haiti achieved independence. The author of ‘Decolonizing the Mind’ highlighted that Venezuela’s political tradition is closely tied to earlier liberation movements across Latin America and the Caribbean, including those in Cuba, Nicaragua and Grenada.
According to Hira, calls to free Maduro and his wife could become a powerful rallying cry, similar to international campaigns surrounding figures such as Nelson Mandela. “Maduro will grow into an international figure,” he said, “like Bolivar, Fidel and Che.”
He also argued that leaders opposing US influence are routinely portrayed negatively in Western media, while enjoying strong support at home and across the Global South.
“All anti-imperialist forces are branded as enemies,” Hira said, adding that such narratives are increasingly questioned outside the West.
Hira maintained that the removal of Maduro would not weaken Venezuela’s political system, saying state institutions continue to function and the country remains under domestic control rather than foreign administration.
Yep the US criminals have seriously miscalculated. Looking at the comments, aside from a few repellent trolls, most people are disgusted by this and view Maduro as a brave principled person, as is his wife. So next election NZ, lets not vote for US stooges and DONT BUY US MADE if you have a choice.
Can’t agree to “principled person” unless you mean the principle of repelling the global terrorists USA and Israel.
And we all know that repellents stink, are nauseating and not really an enhancement to normal societies. But normal societies seem to be sucked out and leeched by global terrorism, so yeah, I get what you mean.
Every nation is now on notice. The globalist system (International Rules Based Order) of drug smuggling, mass migration, money laundering, aggravation towards world war, and the exploitation of its own citizens is no longer tolerated by a system of sovereign nations. President Trump has made his commitment to the Monroe Doctrine clear, and Venezuela was the poster-child for British Imperial games in the Western Hemisphere. He said on Air Force One, that this is a question of world peace. This means President Trump understands who is pushing for war, and how they are operating.
Carney’s Canada flipped out and said, “We might be Next!” Medvedev of Russia said, “Why not make Ukraine next?” Midget Macron’s France, with their persecution of Le Pen, will certainly be on notice. Maybe King Charles needs “an airlift” to rescue the people of England!
“Every nation is now on notice.”
But many nations have been hijacked by agents inserted by that global system cabal.
None of these agents seem to be criminally liable (yet).
But how bad and stressed has life to become before the frogs leap out of the boiling pot?
The tadpoles certainly can’t jump.
