Following a US raid that ousted Nicolas Maduro as Venezuela's president, armed loyalists known as the "colectivos" are expressing fury and a "will to fight." They believe Maduro was betrayed by close allies, questioning how the country's defense systems failed so dramatically.

• Among the colectivos, Willians of the Boina Roja expressed "frustration, anger and a will to fight" after the raid.
• The colectivos are rallying behind Delcy Rodriguez, Maduro's former deputy and now interim president, who has pledged to cooperate with US President Donald Trump.
• Alfredo Canchica, leader of Fundacion 3 Raíces, rejected the negative image of colectivos and remains convinced of Maduro's betrayal by "someone very close."
