<p>In the aftermath of the <a
href="http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Stolen-Police-Helicopter-Attacks-Venezuela-Top-Court-Interior-Ministry-20170627-0031.html">helicopter
attack</a> against the Venezuelan Supreme Court,
countries around the world have expressed their
solidarity with Venezuela by condemning the acts that
the Bolivarian government has described as “terrorist.”</p>
<p>The countries include Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua,
Guatemala, Cuba, Palestine, Turkey, as well as
widespread support from Africa where 17 countries have
condemned the attacks.</p>
<p>The Bolivian government issued a
communication insisting on the importance of peace and
dialogue between Venezuela's internal political forces,
and called for the preservation of stability.</p>
<p>The Ecuadorean government released a communication
calling for “unrestricted respect for the democratic
order of states, the peaceful resolution of conflicts,
non-interference in a coutnry's internal affairs, and
the rejection of attempts toward destabilization.</p>
<p>Guatemala also condemned the attacks and called for
sincere political dialogue in Venezuela.</p>
<p>A former police official stole a helicopter on Tuesday
afternoon, from the Generalisimo Francisco de Miranda
airbase in the Venezuelan capital, and proceeded to fly
over over and attack the Supreme Court of Justice and
Interior Ministry buildings with grenades. Nobody was
injured in the attack.</p>
<p>The Venezuelan Foreign Minister Samuel Moncada
described the attack as an “act of terrorism,” and has
thanked the countries who have condemned the attack for
their displays of solidarity.</p>
<p>Moncada denounced the complicity of those countries and
international organizations such as the OAS who have <a
href="http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Venezuela-Slams-OAS-Opposition-Silence-After-Helicopter-Terror-Attack-20170628-0011.html">failed
to condemn the attacks</a> after months of
international attempts to interfere in Venezuela's
internal affairs.</p>
<p>In the day following the attacks, the United States has
not condemned the attacks. Rather U.S. Ambassador to the
United Nations, Nikki Haley <a
href="http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Ignoring-Opposition-Attack-US-Calls-for-Pressure-on-Maduro-20170628-0030.html">called
for increased “pressure”</a> on Venezuelan President
Maduro while speaking to the U.S. House Foreign Affairs
Committee.</p>
