Toshao says Kabakaburi feeling squeeze after GFC halts logging operations

The Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) has ordered the Upper Pomeroon Amerindian community of Kabakaburi to immediately cease all logging activities, which it has been accused of carrying out on state-owned land.

This dispute has been ongoing for more than 12 years and the GFC ordered that all works on the disputed areas be halted until a resolution.

At the Region Two Regional Democratic Council (RDC) meeting on Tuesday in Anna Regina, Toshao Cleveland Simon said that the order by the GFC has severely affected his community.
