Addis Abeba, March 20 (Prensa Latina) The Venezuelan Charge d''Affaires in Ethiopia, Modesto Ruiz, considered that the political, economic and media attack against the government of Nicolas Maduro, led currently by the United States, is a terrorist act.

Taking food and medicine from the people, depriving them of basic services and endangering their security are not political strategies, they are actions against humanity, he reiterated after a solidarity meeting with the Bolivarian Revolution in Addis Ababa.

The cyber attack against the Simon Bolivar hydroelectric plant, which affected 80 percent of the country, sought to undermine the constitutionality and unleash incidents to end Venezuela's democratic process, he told Prensa Latina.

And the supposed humanitarian aid sent from the U.S. to the Colombian-Venezuelan border in February, he said, was a gross maneuver to make the military invasion of our territory possible.

Cuba's generous and exemplary cooperation provides us with knowledge and experience in health, education and many other social programs.

For Ruiz, the two referenced conspiracies are part of a violent, fanatical, without arguments, defeated because the Venezuelan people knows how to discern the true purposes of the right wing and supported Maduro's legitimate government.

They want to apply against Venezuela what they tried 60 years ago against Cuba, but with us, as with the heroic Cuban people, they will fail, he sentenced.

The attack goal, he considered, is not Maduro, it is to destroy what symbolizes the presidency of a worker, it is to demolish the model of justice instituted under the leadership of Commander Hugo Chavez, which prevents the right from plundering the resources of the people.

He also pointed out that an attack against Venezuela is also against the ideals of justice in the rest of America, here in Africa and anywhere in the world where movements to vindicate the rights of human beings and demonstrate that a better world is necessary arise.

He also thanked the expressions of solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution and urged progressive forces to unite to denounce terrorist acts like the one suffered by Venezuela and continue fighting for justice.
