In the early hours of 3 January, Sader Guerra and his family were shaken awake when the bombing ordered by Donald Trump started in Caracas. “My daughter called me, she said: ‘The Americans are bombarding us, Dad, we are under attack’,” he recalls.
Caraqueños like Guerra are used to the sounds of military demonstrations and low-flying planes disturbing their sleep, particularly those living within earshot of Fort Tiuna military base. “I saw the planes but I thought they were Venezuelan,” Guerra shrugs.
