To think that in my mind the Latin/South Americans have somewhat of a shared history and to read all of this. Makes me sad. You know, when I grew up Venezuela was one country in South America that I did want to visit, because I learned of how beautiful and developed the country is/was and the history of how that country came to be.
Anyway, that's the risk that comes with the displacement of peoples; forced labor and trafficking of people and all that comes with it. I sure hope the UN will do something about it and ensures the safety of people. And I know what you mean about social media; how this news could affect your daily mood and your health. Stay strong and healthy! 💪
Hi @tanjakolader
It is true, all South American countries have a common history, in fact, Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, were liberated from the Spanish Crown by a Venezuelan in the 19th century. Venezuela in its times of glory welcomed all nationalities, but things have changed. And obviously, the future takes a lot of turns and you never know what could happen...
I hope you get to know my country, where everyone is welcome. But of course, in better conditions, not in the current ones. Thank you very much for commenting.
Yes... I learned about Simon Bolivar in school and the Independence and hope of a united South America.
I also hope to see Venezuela one day, when it's restored again in its glory or even better times. I indeed saw some (news) footage and videos online and it really saddened me to see the setbacks of the state and the poverty.
Bless!
