Message to the Brotherly Nations of África: Justice and Sovereignty

LomitoApril 21, 2026military

From the Republic of Venezuela, we address the leaders, communities, and citizens of the African continent to clarify our recent military actions and establish the foundations for a coexistence based on mutual respect.

A Response, Not a Colonization

We want to be categorical: Venezuela has no colonial ambitions. Our history is forged in the struggle against imperialism, and we do not seek to cast the shadows of the past over the free peoples of Africa.

The presence of our forces on the continent is not an act of territorial expansion, but a defensive measure and a direct response to the unjustified aggressions perpetrated by the governments of:

Guinea-Bissau

Sierra Leone

Every State has the right and the duty to protect its integrity. Having been attacked by these nations, Venezuela has proceeded to neutralize the threat under the principle of reciprocity.

Open Doors to Diplomacy

We firmly believe that dialogue should prevail over conflict. Therefore, we extend a formal invitation to all African nations wishing to establish transparent communication channels.

Digital Embassies: We are prepared to create and formalize diplomatic spaces (Embassies) within our official Discord server. https://discord.gg/68HAu9Zz

Cooperation: We invite interested representatives to reach out to coordinate non-aggression pacts and friendship treaties.

Important Note: While our hand is extended in friendship, our guard remains up. Any future aggression from any country on the continent will be met with the same level of force.

Conclusion

Venezuela seeks allies, not enemies. We respect the sovereignty of every square inch of African soil that respects us in return. Let us build a future of peace, under the premise that Venezuelan sovereignty is non-negotiable.

Sincerely,

Venezuelan President 😺
