The Minister of Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George has expressed concerns about the future of international stability and the integrity of territorial sovereignty in the wake of America’s capture of Venezuelan President in a dawn operation.

The Minister’s remarks follow shocking reports on January 3, 2026, that U.S. forces had successfully apprehended Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a high-stakes operation in the country’s capital, Caracas.

The incident has since sparked a mix of condemnation and support to the US capture of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro.

Taking to his X account, the Ningo-Prampram MP said the developing situation reminds him of his dissertation topic while he studied at the Kofi Annan International Peace Keeping Training Centre.

The military operation, according to Sam George, a former student of the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), is a real-world example of the doctrines of international law he had researched.

“Today’s events in Caracas remind me of my dissertation topic at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, focusing on issues of international law,” he posted.

The Minister noted that the US operation is an affront to the established norms of non-interference, stating that the “question of territorial sovereignty, the triggers for the responsibility to protect, and the issues related to interventions by ‘superpowers’ have flooded my mind.”

Sam George’s criticism focused on whether the world is witnessing a repetition of aggression by the United States in the name of ‘regime change’.

“Do we see another Libya or Iraq situation evolve in Latin America? How do we dissect the dawn operation from Russia’s attempts in Ukraine or Israel’s actions in Palestine?” he asked rhetorically.

The Minister concluded his post by characterising the current era as “Exciting times in global affairs and International law.”
