Forbes Burnham and Cheddi Jagan did a lot for Guyanese
Dear Editor
After reading the Cheddi Jagan bashing letter of Leyland Roopnarine (New York) “We must stop admiring our two dead Socialist Leaders” (KN, 17th March, 2018) I wondered at the gall of some people to tell people who to admire.
Whom should we admire Leyland Roopnarine (New York)? President Donald Trump of the USA? The Queen of England? President Putin of Russia? YOU?
Forbes Burnham and Cheddi Jagan did a lot for Guyanese and that is why they are remembered fondly. Their failing was in not understanding the true world of politics, especially Cold War politics at the time. And, for that they are forgiven.
Guyana is NOT AMERICA’s Backyard to do with as they please. We are not a colony of America or the UK.
