US Orders Citizens to Leave Venezuela Immediately as Armed Militias Set Up Roadblocks

The United States government has issued an urgent warning to all its citizens in Venezuela: leave immediately. The advisory, posted on January 10, 2026, comes amid rising insecurity despite international flights resuming.

Officials report that armed militias, known locally as colectivos, are setting up roadblocks and searching vehicles, allegedly looking for Americans or anyone supporting the US. Citizens were advised to stay alert and exercise extreme caution while traveling by road.

Venezuela is now at Travel Advisory Level 4: Do Not Travel, the highest alert level. Risks cited include wrongful detention, torture, terrorism, kidnapping, arbitrary enforcement of local laws, crime, civil unrest, and poor health infrastructure.

The US urged travelers to monitor airlines for updates and enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive security updates.

This comes just days after US forces reportedly stormed Venezuela and abducted President Nicolás Maduro on January 3, 2026, escalating tensions in the region.

Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump has continued to make headlines by threatening Colombia and repeating plans to annex Greenland, citing strategic and mineral interests.

The situation underscores the growing dangers in Venezuela and the urgent need for American citizens to prioritize safety and leave immediately.

UK, France, Germany, and EU Allies Stand with Denmark Against Trump’s Threat to Annex Greenland

The United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Denmark have jointly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to annex Greenland. The European leaders emphasized that Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and NATO territory, insisting that Arctic security must follow international law, collective defense, and respect for sovereignty. They highlighted that unilateral actions by the U.S. could undermine NATO, and stressed that Greenland’s governance is exclusively for Denmark and Greenland to decide. The move comes amid heightened tensions following U.S. actions in Venezuela and growing strategic interest in the Arctic region.

Nigeria-Based Venezuela Solidarity Group Condemns US Threats, Demands Release of President Maduro and Wife

The Venezuela Solidarity Campaign in Nigeria (VSCN) has voiced strong opposition to alleged U.S. military and economic aggression against Venezuela, calling for the immediate release of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, whom the group claims were “illegally abducted” by the Trump administration—a claim yet unverified.

The coalition condemned attempts to justify foreign intervention in Venezuela under the guise of fighting drugs and arms smuggling, alleging that Venezuela’s oil and resources are the real targets. They also warned against similar threats to Greenland, Iran, and Nigeria, framing such actions as violations of international law and national sovereignty.

The VSCN urged Nigerians committed to global peace and justice to join solidarity marches, strengthen national unity, and protect against potential imperialist interference in Nigeria. The statement emphasized dialogue, diplomacy, and respect for international law as the proper means of resolving disputes.
