Since the colonial times, the political opposition have challenged unfair and unsound public policies with street protest, be it in the form of small targeted picketing exercise or mass street protest.
The Guyanese people have responded to these different street forms of street protest with some uneasiness since usually there was some violence in the mix.
Can we have public display of disgust at the public policy of the Jagdeo/Ramu regime without descending into violence?
Political protest without East Indian on the picket line will be useless since it make easy picking for the PPP to whisper that here again the βBlackman terrorizing the East Indiansβ.
It is imperative, similar to what Cheddi Jagan did in the 70βs and 80βs that the AFC launch small, but well targeted picketing exercise against the UNHOLY regime. For example, why should NICIL headquarters not face a street protest of 10-20 persons with placard against the squander-mania and financial waste being perpetuated against the Guyanese people by that organization.
Letter writing and press conference is not enough. 2013 should be the year to move the political process to a different level.
