Many times something happens in your home country and there
is suffering involved. You can do nothing but (if you believe) you pray so that
the ones that you love are never affected or involved in the agony of the
situation.
I have posted about Venezuela before in this blog but I
never saw it as close as I did thursday. When for the first time in the time
lapsus of a month my family was directly affected.
The GNB (National Guard) raided the condominium of my aunt
in which she lives in whit her husband. They would scream “Viva Chavez” and
drop gas grenades simultaneously. “Viva la Patria” while shooting pellets and
bullets all over. They destroyed the cars parked on the bottom level and stole
the peace of mind of 3 buildings filled with people.
This is happening all over the country.
As a Venezuelan, the
news that the men and women that are supposed to protect your loved ones are now spreading terror in order to keep the
people out of the street. To scare them away from from demanding the rights and
basic needs that every nation should
offer.
It is awful to wake up with the uncertainty of what your
family is going through. Like I have
said before the only medium that we now have to communicate is the social
network Twitter, it lets you know from where to find chicken and sugar to the
latest detainees and murdered Venezuelans.
Every hour I scroll
down that page with the hopes of not recognizing anybody in the pictures or
lists.
UPDATE (3/9/2014) 4:30 AM .The GNB went back. 2 teenagers are wounded and in critical condition.
