Amid fresh clashes in Caracas, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has warned anti-government protesters that he could send security forces in to remove them and their barricades.<br /><br />Six weeks of unrest over issues like corruption and shortages of basic products have left at least 28 people dead.<br /><br />Two of the victims were remembered in a peaceful march in the central city of Valencia. <br /><br />The government accuses Washington of stirring unrest. Venezuela’s Foreign Minister Elias Jaua even labelled US Secretary of State John Kerry “a murderer”.<br /><br />At the same time Maduro, successor to the late left-wing firebrand President Hugo Chavez, has urged the US to join a commission for what he called the two countries “peace and sovereignty”.<br /><br />That is more than unlikely. The US says Venezuela uses it as a scapegoat for the country’s own internal economic and political problems.
