INTERVIEW: Why these Venezuelans say Maduro had to go
It's been a crazy few days in Venezuela.
On Saturday, the US dropped bombs on the country's capital Caracas while US special forces descended on a compound where the president Nicolás Maduro was staying, capturing him and his wife and flying them both to the US.
Then a few days later, Maduro appeared in court in New York, charged with drug trafficking and terrorism crimes.
The reaction has been a mixed bag: from widespread concern the US is breaking international law, to many labelling president Donald Trump a hero.
But many Venezuelans feel their voices have not been getting enough attention.
In this ep, Dave catches up with two Venezuelans living in Australia.
They talk about why they left Venezuela, what it feels like to see Maduro stand trial, and what they hope happens next.
Guests:
Lamira, Venezuelan musician living in Australia
Samantha Oviedo, Venezuelan living in Australia
