MR. JAGDEO WANTS TO SEE US JAILED AND KILLED FOR EXPOSING THE EVILS OF HIS REGIME
Dear Editor,
I have been a part of Guyana’s political struggle for more than twenty-five years; I did not commence my activism abroad. I come from the ranks of the ordinary and saw for almost twenty-three years what the PPP did to Afro-Guyanese. There is nothing new they can do to Black people in Guyana that they have not done before. The PPP did not stop at presiding over the murders of many. In some instances, PPP ministers were fingered as being the architects in some of those brutal murders.
There was a period under Mr. Jagdeo’s presidency when fear was the order of the day. People witnessed and endured state atrocities with little or no meaningful intervention from the Opposition. It was activists at home and abroad that filled the opposition’s inactive and lethargic void and fearlessly and tirelessly exposed the atrocities. It was trade unionists, Kaieteur News and people from the WPA along with grassroots people especially from Georgetown and Linden that took the fight to the PPP and challenged their murderous rule. It was lawyers such as Nigel Hughes, Basil Williams and a few others that represented the families of victims murdered by the state. Those legal representations were almost all pro bono.
The people of Guyana owe a debt to Nigel Hughes and Basil Williams that cannot be paid.
Many do not know that I have been contributing letters to our national newspapers for approximately 28 years or more. I still do. I saw the opposition got into power and behave as if there were no crimes against the poor in Guyana. Mr. Jagdeo has always used the Guyana Police Force to suppress, murder and silence Afro-Guyanese.
What breaks my heart more than anything else is that babies have been born in Guyana in the face of a weak opposition and have grown up to face a similar fate under Jagdeo’s PPP as the people who were persecuted since the PPP entered office in 1992.
Today, Nigel Hughes and his wife are still being persecuted by Jagdeo. Today, Burke is targeted for death by the PPP. Today, activists abroad are being singled out for persecution. Mr. Jagdeo wants to see us jailed and killed for exposing the evils of his regime.
Today, the Opposition is more silent and inactive in the face of Jagdeo’s bullishness and maliciousness more than ever before. I have no time to blow my own trumpet. I am here to speak the truth. It is I who single-handedly birthed the idea for a new opposition and worked my ass off to see it emerge. I have cut under some in the previous PNC leadership to ensure a politician who promised to lead a revolution in the face of the PPP’s brutal and dictatorial rule gets his day. I never knew he was mortally afraid of the police.
Sincerely,
Norman Browne
