Venezuela interim president replaces top military commanders in sweeping reforms
Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodriguez said on Thursday she had replaced all senior military commanders, expanding sweeping reforms after the US ousted Nicolas Maduro. The move follows the dismissal of a long-serving defence minister and the appointment of a former intelligence chief, as Caracas reshapes its armed forces.

The Venezuelan crisis represents one of the most severe modern economic and political collapses outside of active warfare, triggering a profound humanitarian emergency and the largest mass displacement in Western Hemisphere history. Stemming from prolonged institutional decay, hyperinflation, and contested electoral cycles, the crisis has destabilized the broader Latin American region as millions of citizens flee across borders. The standoff between government forces and opposition factions continues to draw international scrutiny, sanctions, and diplomatic interventions. Reporting from within remains highly restricted, making independent verification of developments challenging. The situation evolves alongside shifting geopolitical alignments and fluctuating global energy markets.
