Venezuela crisis: Desperate crowd loots flour lorry - BBC News

Hi Mehmet:

Venezuela is going through a lot of problems right now - so much so that most other countries strongly recommend that their citizens avoid all travel to Venezuela. By way of comparison, the political turmoil in Venezuela at this time makes the recent difficulties in Turkey look like a minor disagreement about cow grazing rights between two village councillers in rural Switzerland.

People in Venezuela are hungry and scared right now, and when a lot of people have empty bellies and don't know where their next meal is coming from, that creates huge security problems for a visitor looking for innocent passage.
.
Trying to find a safe route between any two points in Venezuela is a bit like trying to find a safe route between any two points in South Sudan or Syria.

Unless your friend is in the country now and has no alternative but to travel between those city pairs, my most sincere recommendation is to avoid the country entirely.
