Venezuelans took to the streets of Caracas on Saturday following the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro by US forces. The mood ranged from celebration to worry as explosions rocked the Venezuelan capital overnight. Some locals, like Dina, expressed hope. She said she is grateful to the US for "taking Maduro out of here" and sees "some light at the end of the tunnel again." However, Dina did not give her real name, showing caution amid the tense climate. Jorge, another resident near Caracas, voiced uncertainty despite support from the US under President Donald Trump. "Now that they are taking this man away, what's going to happen? It doesn't guarantee us anything," Jorge told the BBC. Government supporters rallied in Caracas, demanding Maduro’s release. Caracas Mayor Carmen Meléndez called the arrest a "kidnapping." US forces carried out targeted attacks early Saturday and took Maduro into custody. The US accuses Maduro of running a "narco-terrorist" regime and claims he illegitimately won the 2024 election. Maduro has led Venezuela since 2013 and faces drug trafficking and weapons charges in New York City. Trump said the US will manage Venezuela and its oil reserves until a new leader is installed. Despite Maduro's removal, Venezuelans remain wary. Dina is skeptical of Trump, saying, "He says something now and tomorrow he changes his mind." She hopes US investment will improve Venezuela's economy. Fear persists. The ruling National Assembly recently declared support for US naval blockades a "traitor" act. Jorge reported seeing armed pro-government groups, making daily life risky. He fears the influence of Diosdado Cabello, Maduro’s ally and Interior Minister, calling him "very bad, very spiteful." Many Venezuelans in exile have celebrated Maduro's arrest, but the tragedy at home continues. Sandra, another local, highlighted the millions who have fled or suffer in silence. She warned, "This is only the beginning; we know there is still a long road ahead." The future of Venezuela remains unclear amid this historic turn.
