Battles at Venezuela Border-- By Diya Ghayal

Summary: These ongoing revolts have occurred ever since Juan Guaido vowed to bring humanitarian aid from Colombia. The battles are occurring between Venezuela's national guard and the protesters,  as Colombia is trying to deliver tonnes of emergency aid. Later on, tear gas was thrown at people in attempt to clear the blockade that was happening. According to a doctor that was recently at the scene, 2 protesters have been killed, and 18 have been injured while partaking in this clash.

Analysis: This article was last updated earlier today, which means that most of this information is accurate and up to date. This article was also produced in the UK, which means that the opinions are not biased based on American ideals and thoughts. This article was written to let us know of ongoing clashes and rebellions that are taking place around the world. It also tries to show the perspectives from both fighting groups, the protesters and the national guard. An event in American history that I think relates to this is the Boston Massacre. Both the Boston Massacre and this event, had to do with protesters and the guard/soldiers (red coats). And both resulted in both, death and injury.
