Guyana Govt Sabotage Int’l Year Of African People!

ATTENTION:

Incidentally, Guyanese of African descent are not AFRICANS (per se). So let this be clearly spelled out for those who use this description for political reasons.

Secondly, Afro-Guyanese is a term coined during the quest in the 1960's and subsequently, for people of African descent, or Blacks, to understand their place, and reality as an ethnic group, who invariably were relegated to the lowest round of the economic ladder in most countries where they are people of African descent. The USA is a case in point.

So what the Jagdeo administration seem to be doing is not new to us Blacks or Guyanese of African descent. It may serve the Jagdeo administration's interest currently to do so. But with time the pendulum will surely shift.

We have suffered as a people for decades, in fact, centuries. But we have eventually prevailed.

Finally, no one can speak for Blacks anywhere, but Blacks themselves. Many have tried to label us, to categorize us, to remake our history, and to make us feel we are inferior. But our collective history and record proves them all wrong. We understand their fears, envy, and inferiority of us as a people.

They are compelled to, by virtue of their actions in the past towards us. And they probably feel that there will come a time when they will pay dearly for those wicked things they did to us as a people.

Black people everywhere MUST stand up for their collective rights, demand respect, Civil and Human Rights like everybody else does. Until we do so collectively, those that strive to divide us will succeed.

Holding Our Political Leadership Accountable After The National Election!


Guyanese, it is time you get the message. And that message is the following.

* Whoever wins the general election this year 2011, (and I hope it is Brigadier David A. Granger), has to acknowledge that he is beholden to all Guyanese.

* That he is employed by all Guyanese, and his salary, and those of his administrators will be paid by Guyanese tax payers.

* And that we do not want any re-treads, or any of those individuals who was a part of the Burhnam, Jagan, and Baldeo legacy within the new political administration (PERIOD).

* And that we (Guyanese) at home and abroad will be monitoring all that they do from day one. And will be informing (the Administration), and ourselves about methods, and actions to be used if and when necessary, to ensure that our collective wishes are met.

These are our expectations going forward in the future after the general election is concluded, and the new administration is sworn into office.

FURTHERMORE, No one will be excluded from our engagement, observation, accountability, and transparency either.

We also need the new administration to work towards the provision of Fibre Optic Internet Access for all Guyanese throughout the length and breadth of Guyana. Because most Guyanese do not have access to the Internet, or cannot afford access to it.

Resulting in them being mis-informed, mislead, and specially targeted by the political administration in office currently. By virtue of their political control, coercion, and influence of the local media.

This cannot be tolerated in any Democratic society, or any society that believes in TRUE Democracy, that purports to ensure there is Freedom Of Speech, via All media outlets, Freedom Of Expression on the Streets, Press, Internet, Radio, and Television.

This is our Resolve and Expectation going forward henceforth!
