If Granger was given two terms all Guyanese would have been living in peace

Jul 25, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor,

None of the atrocities happening now happened under him. Such was the freedom for the Black youth and all Guyanese that I am forced to recall a viral footage of a Black youth vehemently telling a policeman to “doan get Lawliss!” The youth was worked up, angry and animated. He was not bullied, beaten up or shot by the police. Freedom, equal rights and justice had returned to Guyana in less than three years of David Arthur Granger as President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana.

I also recall the hundreds of thousands converged on the capital of Georgetown to see that righteous man inaugurated as president. And also the images of the old, weak, crippled, junkies, Indians, Amerindians and Africans turning out in their hunderds of thousands to vote for him.

I think back of when Malcolm X led a March in the US and Black and White marched with him. The support for him was so powerful that the white police and the US government said such a man was powerfully dangerous to their wicked rule. We know what happened to Malcolm X later on.

When President David Granger was deposed by the US Trump administration in favour of the Ali/Jagdeo regime, the first thing happened was the gruesome, beastly and sacrificial killings of the Henry Boys. It was no coincidence. From the freedom of the Black youth to stand up to injustice and tell the police to don’t get “Lawliss” to the brutal slaughter of the Henry Boys is a direct message to a great leader that Black people, wherever they are must not be so free and empowered.

President Granger saw the warning and what was to come, which would have been atrocities worse than the Henry boys and on a catastrophic scale. He stepped aside quietly and aborted it to save his people. What the US and the PPP did next was to taunt and provoke him; they took a PPP whipped water boy, Brigadier Phillips and made him Prime Minister. Yes, they were saying … we can take your strongest and finest and make them our slaves. Granger remained dignified, humbled and silent. He is a student of Burnham and understood the time and circumstances he was faced with.

All Guyanese know that had Granger been given two terms all Guyanese would be living in peace and enjoying the nation’s patrimony. It is for us to lift him up again and give him the opportunity to finish what he started. We would be doing him a disservice if we didn’t. He never interfered with the demon Jagdeo after he was desposed because he is a disciplined man and a principled leader. God knows what will happen swiftly and quietly to the devil if we reelect David Arthur Granger.

LONG LIVE PRESIDENT DAVID GRANGER

Sincerely,

Norman Browne
