Venezuelans are living in fear and uncertainty after US troops seized President Nicolás Maduro from his Caracas compound. The operation reportedly killed dozens, including 32 Cuban security members. Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, face drug trafficking and weapons charges in the US. President Donald Trump said his administration would "run" Venezuela, but details remain unclear. Vice-President Delcy Rodríguez, Maduro's closest aide, now serves as interim president. Police patrol streets and journalists face detention. Many Venezuelans celebrate Maduro's capture in private but remain cautious. Marcelo, a student from Caracas, said, "We want him to live every single day remaining in his life behind prison bars." Supporters like Rosa Contreras say they feel humiliated by the US but stand by Maduro. The country faces rising prices, fear of reprisals, and a heavy military presence. Protesters recall past government repression and fear what comes next. Some fear that the political regime remains unchanged despite Maduro's removal. The crisis has driven millions to flee Venezuela in recent years. People worry about further US attacks, but some vow to resist. The streets are less busy, with fears of theft and violence high. This fragile moment leaves Venezuela in a state of deep concern, uncertain of what the future holds.
