Broomes to lead the way forward
Dear Editor,
Burnham said leave our wealth in the ground if you cannot agree to the deal we put on the table. He told the movers and shakers in the capitalist world we live in that the deal would be something like 70/30 and the 70 is ours. He knew we would not go hungry because our lands and waters were pregnant with food. It was the nation’s dignity he was concerned about. The White world would never have agreed to such deal.
We never went hungry or died of malnutrition. Burnham died and Hoyte took over. Some historians tell me that Hamilton Green was to be where Hoyte was, but he was not an academic. Hoyte, I was told, was an economist. He was an educator and very bright, they said. He give away Omai to a foreign company for a mere 5%. We remained in poverty with the hope that Hoyte’s economic recovery programme would change our fortunes. It never got off the ground. Hoyte died and Hamilton Green is still alive. What would Guyana have become for poor Blacks and the poor in general if Hammy had become president?
Anil Nandlall is brighter than Jagdeo and Irfaan put together, but Jagdeo chose Irfaan over Nandlall to push the Indian empowerment agenda and the agenda of Black destruction. They are being successful as we speak with Irfan as president.
The oil is pumping by the second and the capitalists in Guyana are running things and sending our wealth back to their already filthy rich homelands and they don’t mind that the powerbrokers in government in Guyana are laundering the billions they are collecting in those developed countries the capitalists are from.
Meanwhile, there is a sudden surge in crime among young Black men. The daily violence with knives, ice picks and guns is in full force. The police are targeting Blacks and they are brutal and quick to kill. It seems to me that our foreparents have always suffered and sacrificed to build worlds on this planet only for their generations never to enjoy the day of the feast. Others are cutting steaks and we are left to cut each other.
We are sometimes architects of our own sorry destiny, making the same mistakes over and over through the ages. Tomorrow, I am choosing Broomes to lead Guyana and take us out of this mess. I am not choosing a so-called economist, lawyer or another jackass with a big title. Black people have suffered at the hands of such local colonial leaders. In my book, it is Burnham or Broomes. Burnham can’t make it at this time. Our liberation must come.
Sincerely yours,
Norman Browne
