Minister of Amerindian Affairs, Pauline Sukhai yesterday lamented that the lives of Guyana’s Indigenous peoples are being endangered due to the increased presence of the Venezuelan military on the country’s border and close to hinterland communities.
She made these remarks during the extraordinary sitting of the National Assembly where both Government and Opposition unanimously voted in favour of the motion which reaffirmed recognition of the 1899 Arbitral Award.
Sukhai told the National Assembly that the growing presence of the Venezuelan military is a grave concern of the government as the actions of the Venezuelan Government have gone beyond provocation.
