Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The AFC New York/New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania, Washington and Maryland Chapters are deeply saddened and express our grave concern and strong condemnation of the attacks on the citizens of Linden that occurred on Wednesday, July 18, 2012.

Dear Editor, Reading the editorial of the July 22 in the Sunday Stabroek one cannot help but wonder whether this newspaper contracted out the writing of its editorial to an irrational anti-government force.

Dear Editor,     As someone in the field of communication, I am well aware of the impact messages can have on  viewers, listeners and readers.

Dear Editor, We, the executive and members of the North American Democratic Council (Toronto Chapter) write to you in order to register our absolute dismay at the unleashing of reckless violence by ranks of the Guyana Police Force on the peaceful protesters at Linden, killing three of them and injuring many others.

Dear Editor, A leader in my humble opinion should not merely be one who holds office.

Dear Editor, Linden – Guyana weeps for you; Guyana weeps with you. 

Dear Editor, As someone with an interest in race I was appalled, but not surprised at the Guyana Chronicle editorial of July 2 which dehumanised and criminalised African-Guyanese.

Dear Editor, I wish to congratulate Mr Shane Hubbard on being awarded for his documentary for the Global Water Partnership.

Dear Editor, I speak on behalf of the Guyanese consumers who traverse the city every day to ensure value for money in their purchasing of goods and services.

Dear Editor, Protests should be peaceful, persistent yet forceful, even though justice or whatever is the goal might be a far way off. 

Dear Editor, In relation to past, present and ongoing depression in the Linden area, its population should take heart from the following quote from the inaugural Independence address to the nation by President Ramotar on May 25, 2012, as reported in SN of May 26, 2012: Plans to revitalise village economies “Fellow Guyanese, our country has come a far way in building a dynamic society.  This
