Venezuela army troops set up camp in Colombia
Some 60 members of Venezuela’s armed forces have set up camp across the border with Colombia, the latter’s Foreign Ministry confirmed on Wednesday.
According to both the ministry and locals from the northwestern Arauca province, between 50 and 100 Venezuelan soldiers set up a camp on the wrong side of the border between Sunday and Monday.
Following controversy, the soldiers have begun withdrawing into Venezuelan territory, reported news magazine Semana on Thursday.
Nevertheless, Foreign Minister Maria Angela Holguin called Caracas to demand explanations for the second violation of Colombia’s sovereignty this year.
