Dear Editor, In this UN Year of Peoples of African Descent, I would like to suggest to leaders and intellectuals that we in Guyana and the rest of the Caribbean establish contact with Africa and help them to deal with the new imperialism which is already targeting their resources in a more heartless manner than the 19th century European imperialists.

Dear Editor, With reference to Mr Jermaine Cockfield’s letter captioned, ‘Royal Challengers were knocked out of GT&T 10/10 competition unfairly’ (SN, March 2) first of all we must bring to the captain’s attention the fact that the fitness of the ground for play comes directly under the umpires who are the sole authority on play.
