President Hugo Chavez has reclaimed power in Venezuela, just two days after being forced from office.

Chavez was forced from office after he ordered the army to quell anti-government protests and 12 demonstrators were killed. Initially Chavez was replaced by Pedro Carmona, a businessman and economist, only for him to be replaced by Chavez's vice president Diosdado Cabello, when he tried to dissolve the National Assembly.
