Guyanese in the Diaspora should come back home

Nov 17, 2020 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – I read a letter in one of our dailies suggesting that Robert Persaud’s encouragement to Guyanese in the Diaspora is the opposite of what our position should be.

Difficult to understand such thinking. Firstly, the world outside is churning up right now. Especially in the U.S., unemployment is high and not missing any group I can tell you.

Secondly, why should our brothers and sisters with all their education, skills, business savvy, and material assets not join foreigners now rushing to our shores. We must not only encourage their return home, we must shout it loud and clear.

In late 1992, after we (the PPP) won the October 5th general election, then President Cheddi asked me to liaise and assist would be returning Guyanese.

I remember vividly one such who wanted to bring home his refrigeration cold and chill rooms to open a business. That was his specialty. There were others with theirs. Many did not only want to return with their personal possessions such as their cars and furniture.

In Barbados, Bajans wanting to return home were, and I’m sure, still welcomed back to the land of their birth, bringing with them all they had worked for and acquired. And before they got too old I should add.

Guyanese outside, please come back home if that is your wish. We will welcome you.

Yours truly,
Eddie DaSilva
