Social Cohesion cannot exist where there is ethnic discrimination and violation of human rights
Dear Editor,
We the concerned and aggrieved residents of Four Miles Community of Port Kaituma, North West District, Region One, would like to personally inform the Honourable President, His Excellency Brigadier David. A. Granger as well as the Minister of Social Cohesion, Ms. Amna Ally that unless there is, equal rights for all Guyanese/ residents in this community, social cohesion can never be achieved!!
It should be noted that contrary to the reports being made by the supporters of the previous administration, we, the concerned residents are not anti “Amerindian Rights”. Many of us are Amerindians or descendants of same. We are a mixed community. However, “Amerindian Rights” can never supersede “Human Rights”.
The demarcation of our community as an Amerindian village and the violation of our rights to legally obtain individual lease for the lands which we occupy and applied for, sends us a very negative message.
Mr. President, the Minister of Indigenous People affairs. Mr. Sidney Allicock, his Advisor, Mr. Mervin Williams and our very dear Member of
Parliament, Mr. Richard Alleyne were made aware of the circumstances put, for whatever
personal reasons, did nothing to warrant a thorough investigation into the matter nor to remind you that our sentiments regarding this matter has not changed since your last visit to that community. (such blatant disregard for our sentiments reminds us of the PPP/C Government whom we voted out.)
Mr. President, we the concerned residents do believe that you are an honourable gentleman with good intentions for the people of this great land of ours, but these actions of theirs sheds a very negative light on the APNU/AFC government and unjustly on you as a leader, our elected leader. We are disgruntled and will not accept what we deem inhumane acts of blatant disregard for our rights! (Nothing can justify these leaders’ actions to us.
We have suffered enough! We voted for a change and, it is time for that change!
Concerned Residents,
Four Miles Community,
Port Kaituma
