Dear Editor,
There is much impatience in the world today. Many economies are faltering, people are dying by the thousands, and war appears to be on the horizon. The fuel of the global economy – oil – has reflected its slowing, and economic giants are much closer to bankruptcy than they have ever been since The Great Depression.
It is with caution that we must consider the path forward for Guyana. No one wants a Government that would bow to the wishes of Venezuela and its allies. Every major party should be reaffirming its commitment to a Guyana that would include Essequibo, and would not allow for its gifting away in exchange for power and control over the country.
It is refreshing to see that old tricks of the past are not recurring. Who would have thought that the USA would not support the non-Communist party during these uncertain times? It is refreshing, yet curious, that the basis for warrants and sanctions for Venezuelan top officials is being overlooked in Guyana.
Maybe the next step is to clean house independent of who is in power. Hopefully, there isn’t a land grab in the works, as there was in the past.
Best regards,
Jamil Changlee
