CIOG urges rejection of `ethnic fear mongering’

Following the no-confidence motion that was passed in parliament on Friday against the government, the Central Islamic Organization of Guyana has called on citizens to respect the outcome.

In a statement yesterday, it said “Guyana belongs to all Guyanese, regardless of race, creed, or religion. Our country is on the cusp of a massive transformational economic and social trajectory that can only be undermined by a divided Guyana. “CIOG calls on all Guyanese to reject separatism and ethnic fear mongering for these would damage our country, harm our people, and benefit only economic mercenaries.

“As we progress through a turbulent political climate, CIOG categorically states that our politicians, citizens, and civil organizations have a moral and ethical responsibility to work together to safeguard our birthright, protect our democracy, and ensure the well-being of each and every Guyanese”.
