Then last month, opposition leader and head of the country's par=iament <a href="https://link.theskimm.com/click/16085160.2940346/aHR0cHM=Ly9za2ltbXRoLmlzLzJUOUkxSFQ/5bae7b412ddf9c633bb801b8Bc8dbcf71" target="_=lank" style="color:#00b2a9;text-decoration:none;">Juan Guaid</a> i=voked the country's constitution and declared himself <a href="https://l=nk.theskimm.com/click/16085160.2940346/aHR0cHM6Ly9za2ltbXRoLmlzLzJBV3NxRW8[ae7b412ddf9c633bb801b8B580f73db" target="_blank" style="color:#00b2a=;text-decoration:none;">interim president</a> until new elections happen.<=p>

The Trumpmin has thrown its full weight behind him and isn't ruling out military =ntervention. And tens of thousands of Venezuelans have turned out across t=e country to protest Maduro \u2013 with <a href="https://link.theskim=.com/click/16085160.2940346/aHR0cHM6Ly9za2ltbXRoLmlzLzJTUTZXVUc/5bae7b412dc633bb801b8B8e246021" target="_blank" style="color:#00b2a9;text-deco=ation:none;">at least 40 people</a> being killed since last month.</p>
<h3 style="font-size:1em;margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:0;line-height:24px=font-weight:bold">So are there two presidents?</h3>
<p style="margin:0">Kinda. And it's putting Venezuelans in the middle of =t. The US and other countries have sent tens of millions of dollars' worth=of humanitarian aid. But Maduro has been adamant that he won't let it in calling it a cover for a US invasion. And says he won't let Venez=elans become "<a href="https://link.theskimm.com/click/16085160.2940346/=HR0cHM6Ly9za2ltbXRoLmlzLzJVMHd1dUw/5bae7b412ddf9c633bb801b8B6f5157aa" targ=t="_blank" style="color:#00b2a9;text-decoration:none;">beggars</a>."

<h3 style="font-size:1em;margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:0;line-height:24px=font-weight:bold">How?</h3>
<p style="margin:0">Thanks to Venezuela's neighbor, Colombia \u2013 wh=re some of the aid has been shipped to. Guaid, lawmakers, and hundre=s of thousands of people are expected to arrive at the Venezuela-Colombia =order to help get it across.

<h3 style="font-size:1em;margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:0;line-height:24px=font-weight:bold">So this is the face-off.</h3>
<p style="margin:0">Basically.

They were supposed to let victims know about the plea de=l but instead let them think that the case was still ongoing. The judge's ision is considered a win for victims' rights.
