介绍： 委内瑞拉是一个失败的国家吗？

 委内瑞拉是石油储量最大的国家，但每 4 个委内瑞拉人中就有 3 人生活在极端贫困之中。据记录，自 2015 年以来，有 700 多万人离开委内瑞拉，以寻求更好的生活，这造成了拉丁美洲历史上规模最大的人口流离失所现象。而这一数字仅次于离开乌克兰的人数。

但委内瑞拉并非处于战争状态，其当前的人道主义危机是多年政治和经济动荡的结果。国际社会对该国实施制裁，目的是迫使政府改变政策，恢复民主，但这些制裁除了使委内瑞拉的经济更加难以运转之外，几乎没有产生任何影响。

该国将于明年举行总统选举，但政府与反对派之间为确保选举自由公正而进行的谈判目前处于停滞状态。

Is Venezuela a failed state?

 Venezuela is the country with the largest oil deposits, yet 3 in every 4 Venezuelan lives in extreme poverty. More than 7 million people are recorded as having left the country since 2015 in search of a better life, causing the largest ever displacement of people in Latin American history. And it’s only surpassed in numbers by those people leaving Ukraine.

But Venezuela is not at war, its current humanitarian crisis is the result of years of political and economic turbulence. International sanctions, imposed on the country with the aim of pressing the government to change its policies and restore democracy have had little impact, other than making it more difficult for Venezuela’s economy to function.

Presidential elections are due to be held in the country next year, but talks between the government and the opposition to ensure that they are free and fair are currently at a standstill.
