BENEFIT CONCERT & HUMANITARIAN AID TO VENEZUELA
CUCUTA, COLOMBIA | 22-23 FEBRUARY 2019

The Colombian city of Cucuta, on the border with Venezuela is bracing for an intense weekend.

On Friday, billionaire Richard Branson is throwing a big aid concert for Venezuela with over 300,000 people expected to attend.

On Saturday Feb 23, Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido says he will try to run caravans of U.S. and international humanitarian aid across the Colombian border into Venezuela.

The move will be a test for Venezuela's military, which is deployed on the Venezuelan side of the border crossing and will have to choose whether to obey Maduro's orders, or allow the much-needed supplies into the country.
