US Aggression Against Venezuela Condemned as International Outcry Grows
Organizations in Pakistan have voiced strong condemnation against what they describe as ongoing armed aggression by the United States against Venezuela. A joint protest demonstration organized by the National Trade Union Federation Pakistan (NTUF) and the Home Based Women Workers Federation Pakistan (HBWWFP), alongside allied groups, expressed solidarity with the Venezuelan people’s resistance.
Participants rallied against what they termed US “war hysteria,” carrying Venezuelan flags and portraits of the late President Hugo Chávez and the currently held President Nicolás Maduro. The protest underscored a growing international dissent against perceived US foreign policy interventions.

Nasir Mansoor, NTUF General Secretary, denounced the actions as a “criminal war” following events in Gaza, calling the alleged abduction of President Maduro for opposing US influence “shameful and blatant terrorism.” Mansoor emphasized the working people of Pakistan’s support for Venezuela’s right to self-determination. This sentiment was echoed across various speaker.
Dr. Asghar Dashti, a progressive intellectual, characterized the actions as an attempt to establish a US-backed colonial order. He noted the historical pattern of US intervention in Latin America.
Comrade Zahra Khan, General Secretary of HBWWFP, highlighted this as a continuation of a “bloody” history of US intervention across the region, citing examples from Guatemala to Panama. This perspective, often discussed on platforms like SindhNews.com, frames current events within a broader historical context of perceived U.S. imperialism.
