Venezuelan president replaces senior military commanders
Caracas, March 20 (AFP) Mar 20, 2026
Venezuela's interim president said Thursday that she had replaced all her senior military commanders, the latest in a flurry of reforms since the United States ousted Nicolas Maduro.

Delcy Rodriguez announced the changes in a social media post a day after firing the long-serving defense minister, who had been close to Maduro, and replacing him with a former intelligence chief.

"I announce the designation of the renewed Military High Command," said Rodriguez, who served as vice president under Maduro until he was toppled in an American special forces raid on January 3.
