Among the measures endorsed by the Party’s leadership, the PPP will “launch picketing exercises, petitions, appeals, vigils, marches and other peaceful forms of protest to highlight the issues relating to the undemocratic, unilateral, and illegal appointment of the Chairman of the GECOM.”
Quite different from Hoyte's "mo fiah, slo fiah" protests.
A peaceful protest wouldn't do it. Organize cane-cutters across the country to come out with cutlasses.
This is a matter for the courts to decide if the appointment is illegal.

Mits, your position is in line with AFC's leadership, your position seems to be in line with the cowards at the AFC. Please correct me if I am wrong and what is your actual position on this matter ?
Did you speak with Moses or Ramjattan ?

Granger has already proven that he doesn't care what the court thinks. The judge's orders to him have still not been followed.

So you agree the street protest is a waste of time.

Granger knows he can mobilize the PNC army, the PNC police, and the PNC riot and burn thugs at any moment, should the people rebel. Just like Putin, Kim Jung Un, and Mugabe.

No. My comment was about how Granger regard the Court, not how Jagdeo regard the right of the Opposition Party.

So does any other reasonable thinking person. The outstanding criticism is how come Moses and Ramjattan didn't know this when they helped Granger load the cannons.

You see Ksaz, PPP street protest is a waste of time. PNC will unleash their killing machine of mo fiah on the peaceful protests. PNC "Black Gyad" loud mouth supporters can scream and yell at the PPP suporters and the PNC police would do nothing to them but harass the PPP supporters.

Perhaps. However, I cannot condone any actions similar to Hoyte's "mo fiah, slo fiah" ones.

As Borther Kaz pointed out, Moses and Ramjattan helped Granger load up the cannons. These two scoundrels Ramjattan and Moses have no shame whatsoever.
Their next jobs will be to stuff ballot boxes in 2020.
That's all they are worth to Granger.

PPP insiders knew of these two traitors. They were the news carrier to the US embassy. No wonder the PPP did not want them.

They were filling up the ambassador's ears with nancy stories.
These chaps are the most disgraceful politicians on the planet. They could have pulled the rug from under Granger's feet but they chose to load up his cannons and stuff ballot boxes.

Any actions contrary to Granger's warnings might result in unimaginable consequences.
Someone needs to remind Mits that US citizens took to the streets to protest Trump's racist and anti Muslim policies and it worked successfully to stop him in his tracks.
Peaceful protests are essential to raise awareness of the Dictatorial motives of Granger.
Internation organizations, civic bodies, trade unions, human rights organizations etc have already condemned Granger's actions. The opposition has a job to ensure that democracy is maintained.
The AFC Leadership cowards are hiding under their desks endorsing and supporting Granger because their dead meat is stinking across Guyana today.
They need to hide under Granger's skirt for their survival.

Just checking! I am not against the street protest, it's a way of mobilising support. But the real test would be in a proper court.

Ultimately, the streets bring about change. Remember the Movement Against Parking Metres [MAPM]? Thousands rallied around City Hall for over 6 consecutive Thursdays and halted skulduggery. Remember street protests in Tunisia and Egypt 6-7 years ago? Ordinary citizens toppled entrenched dictators. What is needed now is a broad-based Movement Against Patterson [MAP] that should besiege the Elections Commission Office every week. Those organizations that have condemned Granger's action should bring out their supporters and members in peaceful protests --- PPP, FITUG, PSC, GHRA, Bar Association, Chris Ram, Ralph Ramkarran and other sections of civil society.

And we here in the diaspora can do our part. This brings back lots of memories of Sat.
