ANUG calls for united stand against threats to national sovereignty

May 17, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

A New and United Guyana (ANUG) expresses its deep concern over the recent incident on the border with Venezuela in which troops from the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) came under fire from armed individuals. This unprovoked act of aggression underscores the urgency of national unity in the face of external threats to our sovereignty and territorial integrity.

ANUG unequivocally condemns any act of violence against the brave men and women of the GDF who stand as the vanguard of our nation’s security. We call on all citizens to rally together in support of our Armed Forces, recognizing their critical role in protecting our national patrimony against incursions and threats.

We urge the Venezuelan Government to honour international treaties and respect international laws by taking decisive action to prevent further incursions by directed armed gangs or military factions, operating along the Guyana-Venezuelan Border. Guyana remains committed to resolving the ongoing border dispute through peaceful means and in accordance with International Law. The matter of the border is currently before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and we urge all parties to respect the decisions of this esteemed body.

In addition, ANUG calls upon Guyana’s incumbent government to prioritize the safety and welfare of our armed forces by ensuring they are adequately equipped, trained, and supported in carrying out their vital duties. It is imperative that all necessary resources be mobilized to secure our borders and maintain peace and stability in the region.

Now, more than ever, we must stand as one nation, united against any external threat to our sovereignty. We appeal to every citizen to remain vigilant, steadfast, and committed to defending our beloved country.

ANUG
