Venezuela's Maduro makes a show of force with the military as US-backed opposition uprising hits a wall.
Two days after Venezuela's U.S.-backed opposition said they were finally ready to oust socialist president Nicolas Maduro, their efforts seemed to have stalled.
Maduro, who has faced months of protests over the country's economic collapse and his consolidation of power, made a show of force Thursday, appearing on state television with soldiers and vowing to combat"traitors." On Tuesday, that seemed likely. Guaidó appeared in a predawn video with opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, who had been under house arrest, saying their push to oust Maduro had entered its"final phase." They called for an uprising in the streets and said they had the support of some of Maduro's key aides.
Although the chief of Venezuela's intelligence service abandoned Maduro, the majority of his senior officials did not -- especially Padrino, who has made multiple appearances in support of Maduro.
