That period established a networking system-ppl of all races found ways to survived. Everything was sort of hidden. On the Corentyne banned food items was never a problem. Affording it and get caught with it was a major issue.

Between Berbice and Demerara Rivers there was deprivation. Mainly, due to lacks of framing and the ability to have something to barter with.

Essequibo had the Brazilian and Venezuela connections-they survived as well.

During this period there were mass migration to the bordering countries. Ordinary citizen travelling back and forth created a SUITCASE ECONOMY.

Connections was of more importance in that period. With right connections, one could get anything. In the process all kinds of laws were broken.

If anything that era created Jagdeo Clique. The 1992 crop of PPP parliamentarians were involved in the suitcase economy as well.
