Deported from NY after almost 30 years, West Coast man depending on strangers

Mohamid Nazim Mohamed

Deported back to Guyana on Tuesday for a crime he says he didn’t commit, Mohamid Nazim Mohamed’s future is uncertain.
Mohamed, 53, a father of nine who is originally from West Coast Demerara and who spent the last 29 years of his life in Queens, New York says that he has no money, little clothes and has been left to depend on strangers.

Mohamed’s case is the type that the Caribbean has been arguing with the US about. The region has said that the US is sending back persons who have lived for a long time in the US and who have no family in the countries where they were born. The Caribbean has also argued that the US should provide resettlement assistance for each deportee sent back,

Mohamed was among 21 Guyanese who arrived at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport,
