It was in the early morning of social media that President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. had attacked Venezuela and overthrown Maduro.

Video circulating on the social network on Saturday depicts thousands of Venezuelans in the capital of Caracas celebrating the arrest of the dictator Nicolas Maduro by the U.S. military.

In a morning social media statement, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. had attacked Venezuela and removed Maduro. 

Meanwhile, in Florida, members of the local Venezuelan community rejoiced over the capture of the long-serving autocrat by waving flags in the colors of the Venezuelan flag and singing the national anthem of that country. 

Venezuelan ex-pats around Latin America were celebrating outside their national embassies. 

According to the U.N. International Organization of Migration (IOM), 6.7 million Venezuelans have left the country since the year 2000, with 85 percent of them residing within the Latin American region.

The biggest portion of the diaspora has been sent to neighboring Colombia, with approximately 2828195, and secondly, Peru, with 1662889 Venezuelans.
