Ten days out from the American capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, the country faces an uncertain future.

Pro-regime gangs with guns are roaming the streets, citizens are deleting their messages and search histories before going out, for fear of being searched and punished for being critical of the government.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump insists he will control the oil-rich nation.

Today, we speak to a Venezuelan journalist who lives abroad. We aren’t using her full name as her family back home fear retribution. She talks about Maduro’s legacy, the reality on the ground after Trump’s intervention, and what comes next for the people of Venezuela.
