The reality is most of the interior lands, some 20k Sqm are native people lands. Minus the mountains and swamp we do not have much left to give away.
I will take that as a valid point. Then how about the rest of the empty land ? It is quite a disgrace that Guyanese cannot own a piece of land when we have an abundance to it.
The natives are bring robbed of their lands, Africans lost some of theirs and now many are left squatting. What a disgrace.
you obviously have not visited the interior. Most of it is seasonal swamp. We do not have much highlands. Even areas deemed highlands are barren wastelands with impoverished soil that could become deserts if humans decide to remove native species indiscriminately. Those who say we have lots of land are simply not thinking. We have few people compared to un occupied areas but to occupy those places mean struggling with nature in ways we often cannot win as we see on the coast.
