Calls mounted for calm to prevail as Venezuela said it saw a "provocation" in joint US-Guyana military exercises and vowed to pursue the "recovery" of an oil-rich region both neighbors claim as their own. The UN Security Council called an urgent meeting for on the fast-escalating row that Guyana said "threatens international peace and security." The United States, through National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, urged the sides to find a diplomatic solution to the territorial dispute, saying "we don't want to see this come to blows." But Washington provoked an angry response from Caracas by announcing via the embassy in Georgetown it would hold joint "flight operations within Guyana" as part of "routine engagement and operations to enhance security partnership" with its ally. As Guyana-Venezuela border tensions soar, FRANCE 24's Mark Owen is joined by Anthony Pereira, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center at Florida International University.
