Description
Residents in the Venezuelan town of Tumeremo -- about 100 kilometers from the border with the disputed oil-rich region of Essequibo, historically controlled by Guyana -- are confident that progress will come with the opening of government offices in the area, after President Nicolas Maduro ordered the creation of a new state, "Guayana Esequiba," covering the territory it seeks to annex. A civil registry office will be set up in Tumeremo to give Venezuelan IDs to residents in the contested region. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
