Being a peacemaker can sometimes end with you either in trouble or harmed. Over the years there have been a number of persons who were injured and in some cases killed when intervening in an active conflict, to bring peace.

The injured Simeon Joseph

Port Kaituma resident, Simeon Joseph, is now a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation after being air dashed to the city with a stab wound just below his heart.
Joseph told Kaieteur News that last Sunday night, he was at a Brazilian club when a fight broke out between two men.
He was trying to make peace when the enraged girlfriend of one of the men didn’t agree with him doing such, and stabbed him with a knife.
After spending more than a week at a Port Kaituma health facility, it was discovered that Joseph was bleeding internally; it was then that he was referred to GPHC for better medical care.
“The doctor hold me up for a week in Port Kaituma because he believed that everything was everything (that I was ok), but I was bleeding inside,” said Joseph as he lay in his hospital bed.
The woman has since been arrested according to the injured man.
