Many shops closed after rush to buy essential goods, as exiles held muted celebrations amid uncertainty about future
At the Simón Bolívar International Bridge, which spans the Táchira River, foot and vehicle traffic flowed as normal through the main border crossing between Venezuela and Colombia.
But a day after the extraordinary US capture and rendition of Venezuela’s leader, Nicolás Maduro, there was an air of uncertainty over what comes next.
On the Venezuelan side of the bridge, a member of the Bolivarian National Guard said that his instructions from the military top brass had not changed.
“It’s a bit tense but we have been given no new orders,” he said.
