Dialogue urged as Guaido returns

CARACAS - Venezuelans are hoping for negotiation and dialogue instead of foreign intervention in the country's political standoff as the opposition leader Juan Guaido returned to Venezuela on Monday.

Guaido flew back to Caracas on Monday after more than a week abroad. He then attended a rally and called for massive protests on Saturday.

While tensions are mounting as Guaido's return posed a direct challenge to Maduro's elected government and could end with Guaido being arrested, Venezuelans urge the opposing camps to resolve the political conflict in a more peaceful way.
