In an Already Complex and Delicate Geopolitical Scenario, an Old Territorial Dispute Takes on New and Unexpected Dimensions. Venezuelan Leader Nicolás Maduro Has Reignited Tensions by Claiming Sovereignty Over the Disputed Region. The Situation Promises to Further Challenge International Relations.

A Long Territorial Dispute in the Essequibo Region, Which Covers 159,500 Square Kilometers and Represents Two-Thirds of Guyana’s Territory, Has Been Reignited by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The Controversy Dates Back to Colonial Times When Spain and Great Britain Claimed the Territory, Persisting After Venezuela’s Independence in 1830 and Guyana’s in 1966.

Maduro Has Invoked Historical Nationalism to Express Venezuela’s Claim Over the Essequibo, Relying on 19th-Century Claims. Recently, Venezuela Approved a Popular Referendum on the Annexation of the Territory with 95% Public Support. The President Stated: “We Have Taken the First Steps of a New Historical Phase of Struggle for What is Ours and Recovery of What the Liberators Left Us: Guayana Esequiba.”

Beyond the Historical Issue, the Region is Strategically Valuable Due to Natural Resources Such as Oil, Gold, and Minerals, and Its Geographical Location, Which Provides Access to the Atlantic Ocean. Experts Point Out That Maduro’s Insistence May Be a Strategy to Strengthen Nationalist Sentiment in Venezuela, Which Faces Severe Economic and Political Crises, Diverting Public Attention to an External Issue and Consolidating His Internal Power.

Venezuela Wants Part of Guyana.

In an Already Complex and Delicate Geopolitical Scenario, an Old Territorial Dispute Takes on New and Unexpected Dimensions. Venezuelan Leader Nicolás Maduro Has Reignited Tensions by Claiming Sovereignty Over the Disputed Region. The Situation Promises to Further Challenge International Relations.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

The Brazilian government and Spain signed a strategic agreement on critical minerals this week and accelerated plans to attract investments, dominate essential technologies, and position Brazil as a competitive hub in the new global economy.

Weighing less than 250 grams and comparable in size to a smartphone, a microdrone with 3D-printed propellers reaches 340.78 km/h and enters the Guinness World Records as one of the fastest electric quadcopters ever built.

China imposes billion-dollar fines on seven e-commerce platforms after violations in food delivery and pressures the sector to correct flaws that affect trust, food safety, and consumer experience.

Scientists have found the most sought-after ingredient for batteries hidden inside a mineral that everyone thought was useless — and the discovery could eliminate the need to open new lithium mines…

Iran said that the Strait of Hormuz is open, but in practice only 1 non-Iranian oil tanker managed to cross in 24 hours — before the blockade, 100 ships passed per day.

Petrobras completes 1,300 hours of work and 15 km of subsea lines to connect the Búzios 90 well to the P-79 — the platform is ready to produce 180,000 barrels per day and is just awaiting ANP approval.

Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely open this Friday, and the price of oil plummets nearly 10% in a few hours — the largest drop since the beginning of the conflict.

While the world was paying more for fuel, the 100 largest oil companies on the planet raked in an extra $23 billion in just 30 days of blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.

Petrobras buys 75% of Oranto and becomes the operator of block 3 in São Tomé and Príncipe, resuming its strategy in Africa to diversify its portfolio and replenish oil and gas reserves.
