Photo: miguel gutierrez/ShutterstockTUSCHEN, Guyana—Venezuela is ratcheting up its claims to a swath of Guyana, its oil-rich neighbor, which has recently become one of the world’s hottest energy frontiers. The growing dispute between Venezuela’s authoritarian regime and Guyana involves a vast area facing Tuschen village called Essequibo, and comes as an Exxon Mobil -led consortium has made a series of offshore oil discoveries and Guyana pushes for more hydrocarbons exploration in areas that Venezuela claims as its own.

People in Buenos Aires waiting Sunday to cast their vote. Photo: Cristina Sille/ReutersBUENOS AIRES—Argentines began to cast their ballots Sunday in a hotly contested presidential election between two candidates with starkly different views on how to pull the troubled country out of a punishing economic recession marked by a collapsing currency, growing poverty and one of the world’s highest rates of inflation. Polls had indicated a tossup between Economy Minister Sergio Massa and libertarian TV pundit Javier Milei. Massa, a 51-year-old lawyer who has directed the economy as inflation rose to 143%, has sought to distance himself from the unpopular ruling Peronist government, promising to deliver a “moderate and centrist” administration.

Milei, a 53-year-old congressman, took 56% of the vote to 44% for Economy Minister Sergio Massa with 88% of the ballots counted, the National Electoral Directorate said.

Qatar’s growing role as an international conflict mediator is opening commercial opportunities for the gas-rich Arab Gulf state. Photo: Christopher Pike/Bloomberg NewsFor more than a year, Qatar quietly hosted talks between senior U.S. and Venezuelan officials that led to a breakthrough last month when Washington lifted sanctions on Venezuela’s crippled energy industry. Now the tiny Arab state, and a Qatari conglomerate, are trying to cash in.

Photo: Carlos Becerra/Bloomberg NewsVenezuela’s highest court suspended the outcome of a primary that the opposition held to choose a presidential candidate, casting doubts over a deal that President Nicolás Maduro had reached with the Biden administration to pave the way for free and fair elections. The Supreme Court’s decision on Monday came after a series of public comments by Maduro and other high-ranking regime officials in recent days deeming the opposition’s Oct. 22 primary a fraud, though no evidence for the assertion was offered.

Maria Corina Machado held a commanding lead in polls, and her victory was foretold in a field of 10 candidates. But as of early Sunday night, it remained unclear if she would be permitted to run in the general election because Maduro’s government has barred her, as it has other prominent dissident politicians, from holding office.

Security forces arrested her son, Joseph Cristella, in September last year at a bus stop shortly after he had crossed into Venezuela from Colombia to visit his fiancée, a Venezuelan. The charge: conspiracy against the Venezuelan state, his mother said.

The U.S. lifted sanctions against Venezuela’s oil and gas sectors for six months on Wednesday. Photo: Betty Laura Zapata/Bloomberg NewsThe Biden administration late Wednesday announced the removal of a broad array of sanctions against Venezuela’s oil and gas sector in response to a deal between President Nicolás Maduro ’s authoritarian government and his political opponents that could lead to a presidential election next year. The U.S. Treasury Department suspended for six months measures against Venezuela that had prohibited financial transactions in the country’s energy sector and gold mining industry. The measure also ended a ban on trading Venezuelan government bonds.

El Salvador, long whipsawed by gang violence that made it one of the world’s most dangerous countries, turned things around by jailing huge swaths of its population. The country once known for having the world’s highest murder rate now has the world’s highest incarceration rate—about double that of the U.S.
