DW: OAS chief: 'military intervention' in Venezuela cannot be ruled out
The international community should consider "all options," OAS head Luis Almagro said, to help suffering Venezuelans. Almagro reminded Latin American states that the crisis threatens to destabilize the entire region.
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, said on Friday that a "military intervention" to "overthrow" Nicolas Maduro's government cannot be ruled out.
Almagro made the remark while visiting the Colombian city of Cucuta, a border city that has born the brunt of the Venezuelan refugee crisis.
"With regards to a military intervention aimed at overthrowing the regime of Nicolas Maduro, I think we should not exclude any option," the chief of the Washington-based OAS said, adding that Caracas was committing "crimes against humanity" on its people.
