Maria Corina Machado’s Daring Escape to Claim Nobel Peace Prize
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has safely reached Norway to receive her Nobel Peace Prize. Her escape involved disguises, boats, and a private jet—all coordinated by a US-based rescue team, Grey Bull Rescue.
The same organisation also carried out a high-risk mission from Haiti to Fargo. Its leader, Bryan Stern, recently spoke about these operations at TEDx Fargo.
Machado’s journey began under tight security. She used disguises to avoid detection before boarding two separate boats. A private jet then flew her to Norway, where she will collect her Nobel Peace Prize.
Grey Bull Rescue, the group behind her escape, is led by David Smale. The team specialises in extracting people from dangerous situations. Their work includes missions in both Venezuela and Haiti.
In a separate operation, the organisation moved individuals from Haiti to Fargo. Bryan Stern, a key figure in both rescues, discussed the challenges at TEDx Fargo. He highlighted the risks and planning required for such missions.
The group’s efforts have drawn attention for their precision and success. Their role in Machado’s escape ensures she can attend the Nobel ceremony without further threat.
Machado is now in Norway, where she will receive her award. Grey Bull Rescue’s involvement in both the Venezuelan and Haitian missions demonstrates their expertise in high-stakes operations.
Stern’s TEDx talk sheds light on the team’s methods and the dangers they face. The organisation continues to assist those fleeing conflict and persecution.
