Tear-gassing of residents an attempt to derail the talks

The Region Ten Farmers Association at Christianburg, Wismar, which was destroyed early yesterday morning

Residents of Linden were told yesterday that the tear-gassing of residents early on Friday was a deliberate attempt to derail the discussions for an agreement which would bring an end to the protest. They were also assured that their struggle was legitimate and that while sooner or later it must come to an end, it would not be without success.

Hundreds of residents who walked from all corners of Linden and converged at the Wismar end of the town’s main bridge were addressed by the leader of the APNU and the PNCR David Granger,
