Venezuela claims Guyana’s Essequibo region, a territory larger than Greece and rich in oil and minerals, as its own and whose future it intends to decide Sunday with a referendum.

The practical and legal implications of the vote, which among other things calls for turning Essequibo into a Venezuelan state, remain unclear, but the referendum has left area residents on edge.

The 61,600-square-mile (159,500-square-kilometer) area accounts for two-thirds of Guyana.

Yet, Venezuela has always considered Essequibo as its own because the region was within its boundaries during the Spanish colonial period, and it has long disputed the border decided by international arbitrators in 1899, when Guyana was still a British colony.


Venezuela’s commitment to pursue the territorial claim has fluctuated over the years. Its interest piqued again in 2015 when ExxonMobil announced it had found oil in commercial quantities off the Essequibo coast.

The disputed boundary was decided by arbitrators from Britain, Russia and the United States. The U.S. represented Venezuela on the panel in part because the Venezuelan government had broken off diplomatic relations with Britain.

Venezuelan officials contend the Americans and Europeans conspired to cheat their country out of the land and argue that a 1966 agreement to resolve the dispute effectively nullified the original arbitration. Guyana, the only English-speaking country in South America, maintains the initial accord is legal and binding and asked the world court in 2018 to rule it as such.

⚡Finland’s Olkiluoto 3, the largest nuclear reactor in Europe, stopped production on Wednesday after a test caused the plant unit to unexpectedly go offline, its operator TVO said.

“During the test, the plant was supposed to produce electricity normally,” said Johanna Aho, head of communication at TVO.

Before production was interrupted at 1:35 pm (1135 GMT), Olkiluoto 3 was undergoing a fault ride-through test where a short circuit is created near the power plant.

“As a result of the test, the production at Olkiluoto 3 was interrupted,” TVO said.

The company added that “the cause is being investigated in more detail.”

The reactor only resumed production last Wednesday following a shutdown due to a malfunctioning temperature measurement in the generator’s cooling system.

Whoa! A major sequence of events is unfolding in real-time in South America. Hope the sequence of events can be contained to prevent an all out military confrontation between Venezuela and Guyana (which has a large Indian and Pakistani immigrant population that arrived in Guyana from the 1840s as indentured workers to fill a massive shortage in plantation workforce after the abolition of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade in the 1800s).
