Dear Editor,
Over the coming weeks the international community will be subjected to numerous Guyanese voices pleading for swift and decisive actions to ensure Guyana remains a democratic state. It is now clear that left to his own devices, President Granger will not act in ‘good faith’; only pressure will bring about a change in approach, so, why are so many of us asking for international interventions? Surely this is an internal affair for the people of the nation to resolve.
Make no mistake, the People will not abdicate their struggle to others, we will use every legal right enshrined in our Constitution to fight for our democracy; no avenue will be left unexplored, however, as righteous a struggle as it may be, there are other possible consequences that I (and others) would hope can be avoided.
Guyanese are well aware of the measures Dictators employ to hold onto ‘power’, on Saturday 13th July, the Minister of Public Security appeared on Channel 8 (Berbice) to remind viewers that government has “what it takes” to ensure the stability and security if faced with protest and/or strike action.
There are no more excuses for inaction from Nations, entities and persons that care about Democracy, about Guyana and her People. We will be looking at those who lend aid to our struggle and those who are willing to just stand there and watch.
Yours faithfully,
Robin Singh
