That's our history.  Nothing new. Just have to deal with it.

Wrong answer. That's PNC history.  Remember the 80-day civil service strike in 1962 when the PNC blacks burned down Water street. Again in 1964 when they killed and murdered innocent women and children in Mackenzie. Then between 1973 to 1992 when they terrorized Indians with the help of the Black clothes Police (kick down the door bandits). How about the freedom fighters centrally directed by the PNC.

What is it that the pnc wants? Why don't they go ahead and do it.

Some months ago they tried to rig an election then lay seize to the country. I wished they had held on, that way a resolution would have worked out itself.

These PPP and PNC people hate eachother, how can that be good for the country.

Sure! Sure! Sure! Moses, Khemraj, and all the Indos in the Coalition hate the PPP.

The PNC wants power.  They couldn't hold on to their culture because they were caught red-handed by Foreign observers. They turned to the courts which had Judges appointed by APNU, only to have been rejected by them because their inept lawyers couldn't prove their cases. An Independent Judiciary is good for the country.

Oil has been connected to war and violence throughout its history. In the First World War, seizure of Iraq’s oilfields was a “first class British war aim”. During the Second, the Japanese attack on the U.S. Pacific fleet in Pearl Harbor was largely an attempt to control the Pacific theater, including the oilfields of Indonesia.

It has been estimated that between one-quarter and one-half of all interstate wars since 1973 have been linked to oil, and that oil-producing countries are 50% more likely to have civil wars. For example:

  • Oil was the reason the Nigerian military conducted “wasting operations” against the Ogoni community who opposed Shell in the 1990s.
  • Exxon was accused of providing machinery for digging mass-graves in Indonesia’s war against secessionists in the province of Aceh (the company denies this).
  • Oil development was at the center of Colombia’s bloody civil war.
  • BP ignored warnings that its Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline would exacerbate conflict, passing through or near seven war zones. The pipeline became a major cause and target of Russia’s war with Georgia in 2008.
  • Arctic nations have militarized their northern zones, with a view to securing new oil resources.

By far the greatest militarization has been in the Middle East, which holds more than half of the world’s oil reserves. The U.S. military presence – at an estimated cost of over $8 trillion since 1976 – has consistently exacerbated regional tensions and instability. Furthermore, oil producers such as Saudi Arabia have been key beneficiaries of U.S. weapons sales.

The U.S. government strenuously denied an oil motive for the 2003 invasion of Iraq; in reality its war plans grew out of oil supply fears. Throughout the occupation, from 2003 to 2011, privatizing the oil – against the wishes of Iraqis – was a consistent U.S. priority, and was closely tied to military operations. The full story is told in the book ‘Fuel on the Fire: Oil and Politics in Occupied Iraq’, by Oil Change International Senior Adviser Greg Muttitt.

Oil makes the world a more dangerous place, both sparking and fueling conflicts that have cost millions of lives. It’s time to get off oil.

Harping back over 50 years ago is not the solution ,the current issues need to to dealt with.

What's wrong with that ? the party joined with other political parties contesting the elections from 2006 under APNU ,from then their votes have been increasing .

The PPP wants power too,Jagdeo thinks he is the only one have the right to rule Guyana ,the party support is dwindling ,so the skulduggery started from 2006 ,2011, 2015 ,the crookedness wasn't allowed in the 2011 and 2015 elections ,the re-count exposed more skullduggery in 2020 elections ,the coalition was caught sleeping ,then Mingo tried to pull a fast one ,the 2020 elections isn't free ,fair and credible.
