DEAR EDITOR,
Within the week, Guyana, like the rest of the world, will have the pleasure and relief of a new President and Commander-in-Chief of the US.
US is the most powerful and influential State in the modern world.
Some soothsayers predict that the raucous behaviour and attempted insurrection witnessed in the US Capitol last Wednesday could be the beginning of the collapse of another great Empire.
Maybe, the advance warning that a pattern inhumane experience may be evident. That is the beginning or the fall or disintegration of a great Empire, Roman, Greek, Timbuktu, among others.
As we survey the scene and await the next trumping of a democracy, I remain disappointed that the US Ambassador’s statement, the silence by FITUG, Gerry Gouveia and the Private Sector Commission did not make the clarion call to President Trump and the likes of Mike Pompeo, who came to Guyana to preach to us that for much of November, December, up until now, these persons did not advise Mr. Trump and his Cabinet to step aside.
The old folks say “different strokes for different folks.”
Amen!
Nigel Bacchus
