Where do we go from here?
DEAR EDITOR,
Has post-Independence Guyana descended into a death-squad dictatorship or a death-squad democracy?
What would drive someone to ask such a grotesque question? Well, from the chambers of our private homes, to the cells of our public institutions, to the cradles of our armed forces, to the canopy of our vast interior, the killings continue unabated.
It does not matter if the innocent or the victim is on the right, wrong or neutral side of the law, the carnage continues. Is the national mantra “kill or be killed”?
Our national sounds are no longer our National Anthem or our national songs, but they are the sounds from AK-47s and sounds from pain. We have hit rock bottom in Guyana.
Where do we go from here? While we are not certain how many murders in Guyana have been politically driven, a sensible prediction would be that if the PPP and PNC continue to compete for the leadership of Guyana, the wanton killings would certainly continue.
