I mentioned on an earlier thread me lil vex,the timing is
wrong i am hoping betterment for the people in the coming
years it's too early to judge the current gov't.
Too early to judge Django? 6 months is a laaaaang time for a government to put out policies in place. How many personal and business trips abroad Granger took already? I bet more than Cheddi over Cheddi's entire presidency and maybe Hoyte also.
Granger paid for his private trips from his own pocket. The man has been travelling abroad to rally international support for Guyana against Venezuelan aggression and doing a great job at it. You can't have it both ways. At least he hasn't taken any trips like Jagdeo running off to Florida to plug up his batty at the taxpayers' expense and taking his boyfriend Bobby on the trip.
BS rallying support against Venezuela. What the F you have foreign affairs ministers for? There is no war pending against Venezuela but he could sell that shit to alyuh.
There is no immediate threat of war but there are necessary meetings which must take place to settle the Venezuela/Guyana border issue once and for all. Are you saying that the border issue is an illusion? Why then was Ban Ki Moon in Guyana today and more meetings planned with UN officials?
No it is a legal issue that has to be determined in court. Running around will not help in court. It might help improve publicity to show who is backing us but at the end of the day it WILL NOT HELP IN COURT. Once we have USA support that should be it and we have that already.
Of course it is a legal issue which can only be settled in a lawful manner but you need allies on your side and I don't mean the MadBurro like the way the PPP were hugging him up for the last few years. That is why a legal team is currently being assembled to handle the matter in court. We also need as much of the international community on our side as possible starting with Caricom, the UK, Canada and the rest of the Commonwealth. It won't hurt to have some South American countries on our side too like Brazil and Colombia. What good would it be if we have US support and no one else? The diplomatic front has to come from the president and the foreign minister. There is no way around this. Granger is the one who had to address the UN General Assembly and meet with other heads of state who were also there. Greenidge, being the Foreign Minister, is also required to be present.
So what all this running around brought us to date?? Even Caricom only gave us half-ass support that is basically useless.
The ABC countries are on board and Brazil and Colombia from the South American countries are winnable but we have to get out there and make the pitch. The UN is on board at least listening to our case. Sitting on our asses and doing nothing will not win the case for us. Saying that there is no pending war will not help us to utilize oil and other resources from the Essequibo either. Venezuela will frustrate any significant development in the Essequibo if we do not have this issue resolved. Some of the Caricom countries are sitting on the fence because they are locked into the Petro Caribe deal with Venezuela and are benefiting from cheap fuel. T&T is on board with Guyana because we reached out to them and they do not need Venezuelan oil. You have to make alliances to win support. Take note that the MadBurro has been leading delegations to several Caricom states along with his foreign minister, press and an entourage. They don't even have toilet paper for their citizens but their president is making sure that he sells his case and trying to win allies to his side. We have to do the same to support our legal fight.
