Update
Hi guys, I’m writing this update because I know there are several people on this site that are concerned about me and my safety, and also the safety of my people in Venezuela. Yesterday the military put the city into a siege, and they killed at least five people that we know of, five people who were protesting peacefully. The military is backing up a group of semi-organized crime who have firearms at their disposition. I repeat: the military is not helping the people. They’re killing them. Protests went on until this morning at six, but things have calmed down a bit since then. The city of Tachira has been in thr dark for a day and a half. They cut off their Internet. As you know, the only way that we can be aware of what’s happening in the streets is via Twitter, Facebook and Internet live streams, so this is reason for a lot of concern. The government is shutting us down. There’s only a matter of time until they cut off all internet suppliers in the rest of the country. The mobile networks will collapse. This is no longer a game, it feels like a civil war here. It’s 11 am and things have been quiet, almost too calm. We really don’t know what’s happening anymore. I’m at work, so when I get home and if I do have Internet service, I’ll be online to answer other asks people have sent me. You guy’s support mean the world to me. Thank you again for your concern.
