Venezuelan General is Extradited to US – Second General Surrenders After US Puts Bounty on Leaders of Criminal Socialist Maduro Regime

Elda Primera March 28, 2020

 

On Thursday US Attorney General William Barr along with the DEA and prosecutors from the Justice Department filed charges against the Maduro regime.

 

The US Department of Justice accused the Maduro regime of narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, corruption and money laundering. The charges were made against Maduro, Diosdado Cabello and 12 members of the Venezuelan cartel. US offered a generous reward of millions of US dollars for handing over to regime criminals making the announcement much more attractive.

 

On Saturday Venezuelan General Cliver Alcala was in custody in New York City. General Alcalá is the first regime official to be detained by the US authorities.

 

The socialist general will be presented before the federal court for being part of the criminal Venezuelan cartel.

According to the El Espectador.com the Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro responded to the US threats, saying, “From here they take me dead”. The narco-dictator added, “Are they going to accuse us of being terrorists? Here we are, the sons of Chávez. They will not be able to do this to us.”

 

After the US threats another regim official, Vladimir Padrino Lopez said he was absolutely loyal to the socialist regime.

During his speech, the Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López, said “no empire” will make him give in and he will defend his revolutionary and anti-imperialist principles.

 

By the way, General Hugo Carvajal has also decided to turn himself in to US authorities. The decision is being processed in Spain and will be effective in a few hours.

 

The DOJ has just charged Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro with conspiracy to commit narco-terrorism and has offered a $15 million reward for information leading to his arrest.

 

The US Justice Department offered $ 10 million to obtain information Carvajal’s his whereabouts. Most importantly, this would be the second member of the Venezuelan cartel to surrender.

Coronavirus: Zimbabwean broadcaster Zororo Makamba died 'alone and scared'

By Shingai Nyoka - BBC Africa, Harare BBCMarch 28, 2020, 9:13 PM EDT

Cooped up in an isolation ward, a young Zimbabwean man who had been diagnosed with Covid-19, pleaded with his family for help. Thirty-year-old Zororo Makamba was "alone and scared", according to his older brother who spoke to Zimbabwe's privately owned Daily News newspaper. Makamba was being treated in the Wilkins Hospital, designated as the main isolation facility for coronavirus patients in Zimbabwe's capital, Harare. Shortly after he talked to his family, he was dead.

 

The death of Makamba, a well-known journalist, came swiftly - less than three days after his diagnosis.

Famous for his online social and political commentary, under the banner "State of the Nation", his death achieved an unwanted milestone. He was the country's first coronavirus casualty and it shocked Zimbabwe.

 

The fact that Makamba came from a wealthy, high-profile family did not save him, and family members have argued that his death has exposed the inadequacies of the country's medical response to the threat of conronavirus.

 

"The government is ill prepared to deal with the virus," older brother Tawanda Makamba told the Daily News.

The health ministry said his pre-existing condition made him vulnerable to the disease. He had undergone surgery last November to remove a tumour from under his lung and was in recovery. While his family admit that his immune system was compromised, they insist that his death could have been avoided.

Very few governments were prepared for a public health crisis of this magnitude.

 

As the coronavirus swept through Asia, Europe and the US, Zimbabwe has watched from the sidelines as advanced economies with better developed health care systems have buckled under the strain.

 

The shortage of hospital beds, of protective clothing and life-saving equipment, such as ventilators, is a global problem.

The difference is that many of these countries were overwhelmed by hundreds and then thousands of patients. Zimbabwe, it seems, was overwhelmed by one.

 

"The world needs to know what happened to Zororo," his brother Tawanda told the BBC in a brief phone conversation.

Zororo Makamba had returned from New York with flu-like symptoms and was told by his doctor that it was a regular flu, the family says.

 

But on Friday 20 March his condition deteriorated and he was tested for coronavirus. The positive result did not come through until the early hours of Saturday morning, but his admission to the isolation facility was delayed because "they were not ready to admit him", according to his family.
