WTH!

Riff, yes, crime is on the rise. I am seriously thinking about returning to Canada until the situation eases. It is the constant worry about trying to stay safe, figuring out who is behind you all the time, locking doors by 5:30 PM and wondering if the grills on the doors and windows will sustain a determined attack, etc. At least I have an alternative. So many others in Guyana do not have any alternative and are left to live in fear. I looked at the comments by the Berbice police commander and it did not give much reassurance.  More vehicles? many in Guyana will tell you that it becomes more vehicles to be sent to buy fried rice, take kids to school, go shopping, etc. Many people, including me do not really trust the police to do a good job because of their history and current practices.   

The Militia start early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zed, I am from Belvedere and often stay here, even during other attacks and murders.  We know this family well, including the two youth that committed suicide.  

Among some on GNI, you seem to mean well and in time if you are still in GY,  I will make contact. But reality is, I don't know you and your don't know me. This is the mistrust that exist in Guyana.   

Trust is big thing lacking in Guyana, as well as on GNI, you don't just ask about information regarding people and expect it repeated in public.  It shows that you are naïve about the reality of Guyana, where almost anyone can access the internet.    

With the government initiative regarding suicide prevention, this is a busy time with the Canadian, British and US  Embassies.

I believe many on GNI don't fully understand the dangerous situation in Guyana and ask for information that might be unsafe to divulge, including our work and presence in Guyana.

The people you are trying to help, could be the ones set you up for a robbery, or be killed.

Some might say its insane to continue in Guyana, but this is their opinion based on where their life is at. Put your money where your mouth is, or just shut up.

In the years we are in GY, we find its better to say little and try doing what we can, while trying to maintain a low profile, because as overseas persons, we are constant targets and have to be double careful.

A person can be killed for less than the tips some leave in a Canadian restaurant and I believe many on GNI don't have the faintest  idea what Guyana is like.     

Zed, you return to live here, we return by choice to help others and as you know, unsafe conditions could exist anywhere.

Contrary to some on GNI, I believe you mean well regarding our work in Guyana.

Since the time when past officials demanded bribes from our foundation and was nasty and vindictive when we were unable to pay. Our  committee members decided to have a lower profile in the work we do. So quit asking and try finding out by yourself, because Guyana is not like the comfort behind your computers.

It might also be helpful to the country, if you talk less and try finding ways to do more, because Guyana will continue to have numerous challenges and might  be better with you being brave enough to assist.

All our committee members are  volunteers. Any additional money we get through our skills[photography/video recording, etc] are donated to the program. We all cover our own expenses.

We strongly believe the administrators  of GNI have  a responsibility to stand  firm and make this site a place to build Guyana and  not allow those with negative agendas to destroys it.

We should be proud as one Guyanese people.   

Hahahahaha!!  I know exactly who you are!!!  Mr. Videographer!!  Bullshitter Extraordinaire!!!!

Bibi, na get too tuff wid me bro. He ah try hard. Gyam lil kredit nah.

Like dis Tola bhai wan fuh pracitse Burnhamism pun abie or wah?

I wonder why he did not ask the administrators of this site to stand firm when he and the others were doing the same during the PPP era. How soon we forget.

He is a con artist!!!!!  OMG!!!!  I know him!!!!

Looks like he will make a good politician.
