If I have posted this in the wrong forum, I'm sorry. Please move it.
My wife and I have a family of friends there who are very near and dear to our hearts. I've been watching what's going on there via their Facebook posts. Sadly, I have been somewhat occupied this past month and I have to admit that I haven't paid as much attention to it as I should have, but things are really getting bad there.
Here's a couple of videos and links:
Paz en calle y batalla en universidad (UCV) 12M - YouTube
Fighting over a bag of powdered milk:
En Mérida como la gente pelea por 1 kilo de Leche VENEZUELA - YouTube

There's a lot more, but this gives you enough to get the idea. I'm also seeing some very sobering parallels here. What are your thoughts?

Reminiscent of the 'bread, freedom and social justice' chant that filled Ciaro's streets in 2010 and 2011, the major grievances of government protesters revolve around access to basic goods and government reform. Venezuela's astoundingly high inflation rate has made items like flour, gasoline and toilet paper difficult, if not impossible, to get.
