Le Forum social sénégalais condamne fermement l’agression américaine contre le Venezuela
The Senegalese Social Forum (FSS) strongly condemned the attack it described as "terrorist and imperialist" carried out by the United States against Venezuela on the night of Friday, January 2, 2026. In a statement sent to Seneweb, the organization warned of a serious attack on Venezuelan sovereignty and the major risks that this escalation poses to world peace.
According to the Senegalese Social Forum, the operation attributed to US President Donald Trump led to the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. This act, deemed criminal and contrary to international law, marks, according to the SSF, a new stage in the imperialist policy of the United States towards countries of the Global South.
For the Senegalese organization, the justifications put forward by Washington, particularly the fight against drug trafficking, are merely a "fallacious pretext" (sic). The real objective, they believe, is to seize control of Venezuela's significant oil and gas resources, as Venezuela is one of the countries with the world's largest reserves.
"Venezuela is paying the price for its political independence and sovereignty over its natural resources," the statement said.
The Senegalese Social Forum places this attack in a broader context, recalling past US military interventions in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and Syria, as well as their unwavering support for Israel in the war against Palestine. It also mentions threats made against other countries, including Nigeria, Cuba, and Iran, asserting that "the whole world is in danger today."
Faced with this situation, the FSS believes that Venezuela's struggle transcends its borders and concerns the entire Global South. "What is at stake in Venezuela is the sovereignty of peoples over their resources and global stability," the organization emphasizes, warning against the risk of a descent into chaos that could lead to a third world war.
Africa is particularly affected. The FSS calls on left-wing movements, Pan-Africanists, progressive forces, and African social organizations to express their solidarity with the Venezuelan people and the peoples of the Caribbean. It calls for joint mobilizations in Senegal and across the continent to condemn the American aggression.
Finally, the Senegalese Social Forum demands the immediate release of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, whom it considers "hostages of American imperialism", and reaffirms its commitment to international solidarity and the fight against all forms of imperialist domination.
