Guyana continues to raise concerns about actions of Venezuela, which claims over two-thirds of Guyanese territory as its own (Crisis Group, Guyana Ministry of Foreign Affairs, St. Kitts Observer). Venezuela's Maduro government held a controversial referendum on 3 December 2023 to vote on Venezuela's rights to that territory (AP, PBS). Accusations of Venezuela sending military forces to Ankoko Island alone will not count (Demerara Waves). Accusations from Associate Members will not count (CARICOM). For the purposes of this question, "Guyana" means the internationally recognized territory of the country, and both the accusation and the sending must occur during the question's open period to count.
