In a new installment of ‘Dossier Venezuela’, the journalist and politician Francisco Santos recounted the moments that a journalistic team had to live when they went to Apure, Venezuela, a region plagued by crime.
The ELN, the Second Marquetalia, the Venezuelan Army, the Faes, the Cubans and even the Russians fight against each other in this small territory, scaring the inhabitants.
During their stay in Apure, the journalists were able to verify two crucial documents:
The first of them stated the efforts being made by Russia, Cuba and the Army to combat the FARC dissidents.
The second of these confirmed that the Venezuelan dictatorship, together with this group outside the law, murdered a familyin order to steal his fortune.

According to ‘Dossier Venezuela’, the murder of four people in the area of El Ripial, Apure, occurred at the hands of the Special Armed Forces (Faes), an extermination group managed by the Bolivarian Police.
What is it like to live in Apure?
The inhabitants of this state live in terror of the ELN, since no one wants to talk or denounce what they have to go through on a daily basis. However, ‘Dossier Venezuela’ was able to start a conversation with one of the people from Apure.
“Currently those who work in state security are doing their job well. What the National Police are, the famous state police, that’s what has this town finished. This was a commercial town, Venezuelans no longer want to pass through here, “said a man who asked that his identity be withheld.

Apparently, in this region, the military and the ELN work hand in hand terrorizing the population. The owners of some farms were threatened by these groups and their cattle had to be sold and slaughtered without any reward.
“The army asked them to leave their farms, which they had to evict because there was a lot of mining, but the truth is that is a lie. One realizes what is happening here, there is nothing there. They do not let us farmers enter to work, they are stealing from us“, assured one of the residents of the Arenales sector in Apure.
