Venezuelans going to the polls Sunday will be asked to answer an unusually provocative question: Should their government be given a blank check to invade neighboring Guyana, and wrest away three-quarters of its oil-rich territory?

The government of Nicolás Maduro is putting the query before voters, part of a century-old territorial dispute between Venezuela and Guyana that is raising tensions in the region and threatening to escalate into a shooting war.

    We had three families in our neighborhood, all related, that the parents/grandparents were from Guyana and the kids were born here.

    I can’t speak for the country but those people were awesome! Super friendly, nice, hard working but most of all happy to share and explain their culture.
