Tensions between Guyana and Venezuela have escalated following an alleged attack on Guyanese soldiers near the Cuyuni River. Guyana claims its troops were ambushed by armed men, possibly linked to criminal groups, while Venezuela dismisses the incident as fabricated. This latest development comes at a time when Guyana’s press faces mounting pressure and restrictions, potentially limiting their ability to report freely on the crisis. CIVICUS discusses these interconnected challenges with a journalist who has asked to remain anonymous for security reasons.
