Venezuela says it will split from oas as unrest continues

Venezuela has announced that it will withdraw from the Organization of American States (OAS), a regional organization that brings together 35 countries in the Americas, amid ongoing political unrest and tensions with the international community.

The decision was made by the Venezuelan government, which has been facing widespread protests and opposition to the rule of President Nicolás Maduro, who has been accused of human rights abuses and electoral fraud.

The OAS has been a vocal critic of the Venezuelan government, and has called for free and fair elections to resolve the country's political crisis. The organization has also imposed sanctions on several Venezuelan officials, including Maduro, for their role in the country's political crisis.

Venezuela's withdrawal from the OAS is seen as a major blow to the organization, which has been a key player in regional diplomacy and conflict resolution. The move is also likely to further isolate Venezuela from the international community, which has been increasingly critical of the country's government.

The decision to withdraw from the OAS was announced by Venezuela's Foreign Minister, Jorge Arreaza, who accused the organization of being "a tool of imperialism" and of seeking to "destabilize" the Venezuelan government.

The OAS has condemned the decision, saying that it is "a regrettable step" that will only serve to further isolate Venezuela from the international community. The organization has also called on the Venezuelan government to respect the rights of its citizens and to engage in a peaceful and democratic resolution of the country's political crisis.

The withdrawal from the OAS is the latest in a series of moves by the Venezuelan government to distance itself from the international community. In recent months, the country has also withdrawn from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and the Andean Community of Nations, a regional trade bloc.

The political crisis in Venezuela has been ongoing for several years, with the opposition accusing the government of human rights abuses, electoral fraud, and economic mismanagement. The crisis has led to widespread protests, violence, and economic hardship, and has been a major concern for the international community.

The United States, Canada, and several European countries have imposed sanctions on Venezuela, and have called for free and fair elections to resolve the country's political crisis. The European Union has also suspended its dialogue with the Venezuelan government, citing the country's failure to respect human rights and the rule of law.

The situation in Venezuela remains highly volatile, with protests and violence continuing to erupt across the country. The international community is closely watching the situation, and is urging the Venezuelan government to engage in a peaceful and democratic resolution of the country's political crisis.
