Claim: Ankoko Island/Isla de Anacoco is a territory of Guyana (Ankoko Island/Isla de Anacoco, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2018-06-21): Government of Vene zuela is prepared to utilize unlawful means in pursuit of its unjustified claim to almost two-thirds of Guyana ' s territory . I recall the continued illegal occupation of Guyana's half of Ankoko Island by the Venezuelan military and the 2006 bombing of a pontoon in the Cuyuni River by the Venezuelan military , which resulted in the death of a [...] The Caribbean people want the Caribbean to be a zone of peace. Venezuela’s claim on Guyana’s territorial integrity, however, would be a threat to that zone and that peace. Venezuela is more than four times the size of Guyana, and yet it claims two-thirds of Guyana’s territory, including its maritime space. We depend on our territorial and maritime resources for our country’s development and for propelling our people out of poverty. After 51 years of Guyana’s independence, the [...] SEVENTH: To ratify in an express manner the sovereignty titles of Anacoco Island and the Atlantic Front, as well as to strongly reject the unfriendly and baseless intention of the government of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana of ignoring them, at the same time we make a call to the Bolivarian National Armed Force to maintain the works of security and defence of this territory that are not under discussion.

Ubicación des Isla de Anacoco [...] Venezuela’s illegal occupation of Ankoko Island has poisoned relations with Guyana for 44 years. [...] As soon as the last British troops left Guyana in October 1966 – Guyana’s independence year – the Venezuelan National Armed Forces seized the 7-km² Ankoko Island in the Cuyuni River. It has remained in illegal occupation ever since. The island is used as a military garrison to harass Guyanese miners and to engage in occasional acts of provocation against the Guyana Defence Force border detachment at Eteringbang on the opposite bank of the river. But the symbolism of the occupation of Ankoko has been a bone in the throat of Guyanese negotiators ever since and has intoxicated Venezuela’s diplomats with delusions of superiority.

Claim: Ankoko Island/Isla de Anacoco is a territory of Guyana (Ankoko Island/Isla de Anacoco, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-02): In the weeks leading up to the January 25 meeting in Brasília, Venezuela had been building up a military presence on Anacoco Island. The island, awarded to Guyana as part of an 1899 arbitral award but seized and administered by Venezuela since 1966, has long been a point of tension between the two countries. A video, linked to the Bolivarian National Guard dated January 15, 2024, shows a staging area across the Cuyuni River from Anacoco Island where construction materials are piled up. Three armored vehicles, likely V-100/150 Commando amphibious armored personnel carriers (APCs) are also visible in the staging area. Maxar satellite imagery of the area from January 13, 2024, also shows the APCs, construction materials, a heavy river ferry and the clearing of a new area to the north, likely where Venezuelan military engineers intend to build a Mabey Compact 200 bridge to the island. [...] Policymakers need to be attentive to both the words and actions of the Maduro regime in navigating the Essequibo dispute. Negotiations should not overlook provocations on the border. In doing so, Anacoco Island, Punta Barima, and likely other locations, stand out as areas to monitor as the March meeting between Presidents Maduro and Ali approaches. The United States, Brazil, and international community can play a vital role in raising awareness about Maduro’s duplicitous actions and ensure his efforts to coerce Guyana find no purchase. This will require sustained attention, but, as Schelling notes, it is always harder to compel another player to act than it is to deter a bad actor from making a move.

Claim: Ankoko Island/Isla de Anacoco is a territory of Guyana (Ankoko Island/Isla de Anacoco, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2023-11-20): Ankoko Island (Isla de Anacoco in Venezuela) is located at the confluence of the Cuyuni River and Wenamu River, at 6°43′N 61°8′W, on the border between Venezuela and the disputed area of Guayana Esequiba. [...] Matters remained at a stalemate for the rest of the year with Venezuela determined not to withdraw from the islands. By the beginning of 1967, Venezuela upgraded its Consulate General to that of an Embassy and appointed Walter Brandt as its first Ambassador to Guyana. On the 26 April 1967, the Guyanese evening newspaper, Evening Post, featured on its front page an article based on an interview with the Ambassador. According to the paper, Brandt insisted that the entire island of Ankoko was Venezuelan territory, none of which would be yielded to Guyana. The island was one of Venezuela's border outposts, he stated. He explained that when the Guyanese government objected to Venezuela's occupying the eastern section of the island, the impression was gained that the Venezuelans had just invaded that area. He claimed that Venezuelans had long been living all over the island which became known as "Anakoko" because a Venezuelan woman named Ana used to sell coconuts on the island.

Claim: Ankoko Island/Isla de Anacoco is a territory of Guyana (Ankoko Island/Isla de Anacoco, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-05-17): For decades, Venezuela has been making unsubstantiated claims to Guyana’s territory, despite the dispute being settled by the Arbitral Award of October 3, 1899. This award included setting a boundary on Ankoko Island, apportioning the island between Guyana and Venezuela which was affirmed in 1905. In 1966, five months after Guyana gained independence, Venezuelan armed forces crossed this boundary and began their illegal occupation of Ankoko Island, located at the confluence of the Cuyuni and Wenamu Rivers, on the border between Venezuela and Guyana. [...] Steps must be taken to counter Venezuela’s actions and threats. As a first step, Guyana should deploy a team of law enforcement and construction workers to establish a physical border with a demilitarized zone on Ankoko Island. This bold tactic may test Guyana’s relationships with its allies, but those allies must stand on the side of international law and long-established treaties.
