    Help or Fraud? This is How USAID Money Flows for Venezuelan Migrants

    Help or Fraud? This is How USAID Money Flows for Venezuelan Migrants

    When the United States Development Agency (USAID) extendss cooperation and “humanitarian aid” in a country or region, rather than seeing it as an altruistic action we must determine the hidden interests that operate behind it.
    The body founded by John F. Kennedy in 1961 and whose principle is “to provide non-military assistance outside its [US] territory”, has a long history of interference in the sovereignty of nations that do not align with the foreign policy of domination that the North American country exercises.


    As Jean-Guy Allard, a late Canadian journalist and researcher, characterizes it, USAID serves as an espionage and interference device in any geography where the United States wants to extend its influence.

    In the book “USAID, NED and CIA: The permanent aggression”, Allard describes how the US institution has been involved in regime changes through direct support to the opposition in certain countries, a fact that has been recognized by the agency’s own authorities.


    He also says that this institution is an intricate system of corruption that diverts millions of dollars through propaganda narratives of the miracle of “humanitarian aid” in the United States.

    VENEZUELAN MIGRATION: A BUSINESS IN LATIN AMERICA?

    On September 4, USAID published the report corresponding to fiscal year 2019. In the document, John J. Sullivan, undersecretary of state, and the administrator of said institution, Mark Green, announced the financing of more than 120.2 million additional dollars for the response to the crisis in the region caused by Venezuelan migration.
    The agency maintains that this increase is justifiable because the exodus has collapsed medical services in border areas and there is a risk of infectious diseases spreading.

    The agency points to the government of President Nicolás Maduro as the cause of the political and economic crisis that forces thousands of people to flee their territory. The cynicism is evident when it is obvious that the country it represents is directly involved in the hyperinflation that they point to as one of the main causes of migration in Venezuela.
    In recent years, the United States has intensified the financial and commercial blockade against Venezuela. This, without a doubt, has generated a severe impact on the purchasing power of products and services by Venezuelans.

    The report details that between the US Department of Population, Refugees and Migration and the offices of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) and Food for Peace (FFP) of USAID, more than US$ 333 million are allocated to help refugees, an amount that excludes the 20 million announced by the Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, earlier this year.

    According to the report, this money will allow NGOs to continue providing support to Venezuelan migrants moving through the continent. These organizations constitute the arm of the United States intervention policy while, as recipients of money, they are committed to their foreign policy objectives.
    In addition to Colombia, which received the largest amount of funds for being the main recipient of Venezuelans, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru join the list of nations that receive money from the United States to address Venezuelan migration in the region.

    These additional resources, USAID says, are due to the fact that in August it was estimated that 4.3 million Venezuelans were outside the country and this figure is projected to increase this December, according to data provided by the International Organization to Migration (IOM) and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

    Recently, the agency says, Ecuador, Chile and Peru announced new rules to allow Venezuelans to enter their


    This measure, which came into effect on August 26, caused many Venezuelans to stay in Rumichaca, a border crossing between Colombia and Ecuador. This migratory policy of Ecuador affects Colombia while, in addition to being a mandatory territory for Venezuelans traveling through South America, it “congests” another border area of that country.

    According to the policy of the US agency, these NGOs that receive the money must provide food vouchers, hot meals, as well as training to improve nutrition. They must also guarantee health care and psychosocial assistance to families that require it.With the increasing number of these organizations that receive resources from USAID, it is difficult to determine whether this “humanitarian aid” really arrives in the proportion described in the report. In addition, this US agency and the organizations that receive financing have a record in diversion of money and manipulation of figures.

    UNHCR, through the 1984 Declaration, “expanded the definition of refugee to include people who have fled their home countries due to threats to life, liberty or security due to public order disturbances due to foreign aggression, violence in general, internal conflicts and serious violations of Human Rights.”


    Although the number of Venezuelans outside their territory has increased in recent years, the migratory flow is not comparable with other similar phenomena in the Middle East and Africa.


    In May of this year, the Colombian Foreign Minister, Carlos Holmes Trujillo, argued that the resources granted to his country by the UN, 228.1 million dollars, were insufficient to serve the displaced who arrived from Venezuela, according to the EFE agency.

    FORCED COMPARISONS

    In an EFE piece, they detail that the displacement of Venezuelans in Colombia is only outnumbered by the immigration crisis in Syria, a country that has been overcoming a terrorist war for more than eight years, a conflict imposed by the West that has already taken the life of more than 300 thousand people.

    Attempts have been made to propagate the narrative of the “humanitarian crisis” in Venezuela and to manipulate its side effects in the region. According to the UN, only in Colombia, there are supposedly more than 1 million 400 thousand Venezuelans. If this volume of people were there as refugees, the expense in economic and human terms would be incalculable.

    On the other hand, organizations such as UNHCR, which claim to be deployed in border areas of Colombia and Brazil, offer few details of the number of temporary shelters installed.
    “So far, 13 temporary shelters have been opened in Boa Vista and Pacaraima, which house more than 6,000 Venezuelans. In Maicao, Colombia, a temporary care center was inaugurated in March 2019, which was established upon request of national and local authorities, with an initial capacity to accommodate about 350 people,” is the only reference in this regard on its website.

    The Coordination Platform for Refugees and Migrants of Venezuela is made up of 41 organizations, including 17 UN agencies, 15 NGOs, donors, financial institutions and the Red Cross. This multisectoral organization, although it has a more detailed report with the projections for this year, does not offer a concrete account of the number of services.

    USAID’S NOT-SO-HIDDEN AGENDA

    True to the principles of intervention, USAID has been in tune with the political events inside and outside Venezuela.



    The institution says it remains neutral in the face of the Venezuelan political conflict but praises its link with the National Assembly (AN) and describes Nicolás Maduro as former president of the Republic.

    Since the political crisis in the country worsened, with the self-proclamation of Juan Guaidó as head of the Venezuelan State in January of this year, USAID began to recognize him as president in charge.
    In February, the Venezuela Aid Live concert, organized by billionaire Richard Branson, was held to collect funds that would be allocated to those displaced by the Venezuelan “crisis.” The total amount collected and the destination of these resources are currently unknown, but it is known that Juan Guaidó got there through the logistic favors of the Los Rastrojos paramilitary group.
