Current situation in Venezuela: getting slowly better, and not as bad as so many people think

Meanwhile Haiti seems to be worse than reported, worse than most countries in Africa:

a warlord named Barbeque controls much of the capital and wants to overthrow the government.

And thousands of prisoners have escaped and are on the streets.
THIS is what happens in Africa or Latin America without a strong state.



Haiti has been a destitute, anarchic, crime-infested, drug-infested, disease-infested failed state for many years,
and the last president was assassinated by foreign mercenaries with help from the inside.

This may also be the near-future of South Africa or the distant future of the West if mass migration continues.

Video from the Venezuelan youtuber Ey graffe, dedicated to the city of Acarigua/Araure, in Portuguesa state, where he shows, among other things, a street market full of fresh fruits and vegetables (many of them cultivated in the neighboring state of Lara), how nice and clean is that city nowadays, that this city even have a clean/non-contaminated natural river within the city itself, where people can even swim and take baths on it, and also shows several other nice places from this city like public squares, supermarkets, shopping centers, restaurants, etc.

Some images at the very beginning of the video are not in Acarigua, but are of different parts of Venezuela like Caracas, Maracay, Valencia, the Venezuelan Andes, etc., because he talks about a trip he was doing in Venezuela on his motorcycle, starting in Caracas and going to the Venezuelan Andes, passing also by Acarigua. So, he talks about this trip as an introduction to then start talking specifically about the city of Acarigua/Araure (often referred as just "Acarigua" because Acarigua is the bigger and more important city out of the two twin cities of Acarigua and Araure, that form the same conurbation):

Young Polish girl, immigrant in Venezuela, interviewed by the Venezuelan Youtuber Jose Malon. She didn't planed to end up living in Venezuela, but everything happened by chance, after she got stuck in Venezuela when she was visiting as tourist during the COVID pandemic. Now she loves Venezuela, and says it isn't that bad as media portrays it to be like. She now works as touristic guide, and frequently helps lots of Polish tourists that visit Venezuela (Margarita Island, Caracas, and other parts of Venezuela). The video is in Sabana Grande Boulevard, in Caracas:



They both agree that Venezuela is noticeably safer today than few years back.

Her current couple is a Venezuelan guy, so if she get offspring of her relationship, she will leave a tiny bit of Polish blood into the Venezuelan gene pool

Good for her, what an adventure! I would do something similar if I were stuck in a Western country.

Another video from the Venezuelan Youtuber Jose Malon, showing how many things have improved in the last years: Plenty of commercial activity and lots of people buying; again (as I have mentioned countless times before) everything well stocked with all kinds of products, national and imported; plenty of food; cleaner streets compared to years back; outdoor cafes (which was something unthinkable years back); the country is noticeably safer than few years back, with lots of police controls everywhere; new public lighting on the roads in contrast to how it was deteriorated few years back, etc, etc:

Recent video (7 months ago) of the street market of Quinta Crespo in western Caracas. Full of food, tons of fresh fruits and vegetables, lots of people, etc:



also, before getting into the market (minute 5:00 and onward) it shows the streets of Caracas on their way to the market, all of them full of life and traffic, contrary to the image of an "abandoned country" that some people have in mind.
