Conflict Observer:
— Collapsing oil prices push Venezuela ever closer to a long anticipated moment: when President Maduro no longer has the money to pay the armed forces’ wages

Conflict Observer:
— "Maduro will be very worried looking at the oil prices collapse.

PDVSA (Venezuela State-owned Oil company) already offered heavily discounted oil, Maduro was already losing money for each barrel of oil produced, now oil prices have called further, Maduro might as well just burn whatever money he had left"

Mfw Imma gonna buy 1 million physical oil barrels

From early today:
— In Ramo Verde since the dawn there is movement of the OSE, there is talk of attempted robbery of the weapons park by some captains, they are not confirmed captured at the time. The Panamericana was closed, it is already open both ways.

— On Today's Dawn, April 20, 2020, the Venezuelan Bolivarian Army (FANB) Captain Murillo, was detained this morning trying to steal Venezuelan Army weapons probably to send it for Insurgents | Rebels.

The Incident happened at detachment 411 in Puerto morocha.

Still no information on whether his actions were successful in stealing weapons from the armoury.

However, He was not acting alone but only he was caught by Counter-Insurgency forces.

Conflict Observer:
— "The fact that no official statement has been released suggests that it might have been successful/ they don’t know what’s going on.

With operation Aurora in December, they were quick to comment and say what happened, yet with this there is silence."
