    OverviewAPI
    Tensions escalate over the disputed Essequibo region, fueled by abundant oil deposits, with Venezuela planning a referendum to rally support for President Maduro and potentially divide the opposition. The region's oil wealth has transformed Guyana's economy, attracting major players like ExxonMobil and China's CNOOC, while the US and its allies support Guyana, and Venezuela seeks to regain recognition and lift sanctions.
