Social Media Platform X Restored in Venezuela After Maduro's Capture by US Forces

The social media platform X was restored in Venezuela on January 13, following its yearlong blockade by former President Nicolas Maduro, who was captured by US forces on January 3 during a US intervention. Interim President Delcy Rodriguez, Maduro's former vice president, assumed power and urged unity and economic stability. Maduro and his wife face US drug trafficking charges. Maduro's X account posted a missing persons-style image demanding their return, while the US now influences Venezuela's transition amid ongoing diplomatic and economic developments.
