The world’s attention has turned this week to Kiev, Ukraine, which is now reportedly in the hands of demonstrators. But another poltical crisis has been roiling in Caracas, Venezuela, where protesters are calling for President Nicolas Maduro to step down.
At least six people have been killed in clashes between protesters and security forces, according to Reuters. The unrest, which started as a student demonstration against Marduro, has centered on frustration over the country’s high crime rate, inflation and a shortage of basic household items.
