Uncle Sam find he way to town

Feb 10, 2026 Dem Boys Seh, Features / Columnists

(Kaieteur News) – Dem boys seh when yuh wake up one morning and realize America now got the transport for Guyana, is time to check if yuh passport still valid or if it turn into a visitor’s badge. Because everywhere yuh turn these days, is Uncle Sam running things and pointing where to go.

First, dem boys seh, America take charge of the economy nice-nice through Exxon. Oil flowing, profits flying, and Guyana standing like a proud landlord who rent out the house and now asking permission to use the back door. Every press conference sound like it have a subtitle: “With respect to our strategic partners…” Strategic, yes—but partner sound more like chauffeur and passenger.

Then came the Cuban Medical Brigade business. Dem boys seh is there we really see how easy the government could roll over. One stern look from Washington and—bam!—principle catch a next flight. No long debate, no chest-thumping sovereignty talk. Just a quick shuffle of papers and a denial that we were pressured into dismantling the programme that has saved thousands of local lives.

All dem other Caribbean countries did get the same warning. But dem seh plain and straight that whatever the consequences they are not rescinding the agreements concerning the Cuban Medical Brigade. It does save lives. But that is not all. Dem boys seh notice how quiet we get these days. Bombing here, kidnapping there, small craft getting blown out the water in the high seas near Caribbean space—and Guyana mouth lock tighter than a rum shop on Good Friday. Venezuela get hit, president get dragged, and we suddenly develop selective silence. Is not that we don’t see; is that we choose not to blink.

So dem boys seh this subservience got people asking what next. Does America really have Guyana number on speed dial? Or worse—do they got information blackmailing some of our leaders that making everybody walk soft-soft, like they crossing hot sand barefoot?

Dem boys just asking? Because right now, Guyana starting to look like an ungrateful dog while millions in Cuba getting economically strangled. And if America got the transport, the economy, and now the politics, the only thing left is to ask: who driving, and who just enjoying the ride? Dem boys seh, better check before the bus pass yuh stop.

Talk half. Leff half.
