DEM UNLIKE YOU. THET CARE FOR THE PEOPLE OF GUYANA AND DOING SOMETHING FOR THOSE AFFECTED. RATHER THAN YAPPING YAPPING AND DOING NOTHING.

I would like to see a Guyanese commemoration of a day that did not involve some poor dead coolies dead as a result of PPP negligence/activity/inactivity

Recap:

Independence Day celebrates the Wismar Massacre of Coolie

Republic Day celebrates the beginning of the 2002 Child Soldier Rebellion resulting in dead coolies of course

and the list goes on

Mudhead,

"Doing something" is not crying about a historical event. Doing something is instituting changes that PREVENT such incidents from happening again.

Of course this is all above your head

We ALL would like that. We must also not forget and HONOR those who went.

If the PPP could run the Guyanese cakeshop somewhat decently where the average coolie doan get murdered, I could even overlook de rampant tiefing.

But preventing the needless deaths of peasant coolies is not on the PPP's agenda. The agenda begins and ends at tiefing

Now Pavi going to drink malaton and join the dead coolie suh dem bais can celebrate he...

another PPP martyrdom to celebrate

EH EH KAKAHOLE PUTTY YUH SMELLING SHIT AFTER YUH FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET YOUR HEAD OUT YUH KAKAHOLE!!!

u r what u say u r!!!

Bai Pavi the waste material in yuh head flowing out and messing up the board. Tek it light. 

This is bull, Jagan even in opposition did not commemorate this even and he had nuff time on his hand then.

This is what the PPP should be doing, empower and taking care of the Lusignan familes who are still mouring their dead murdered because the PPP did not do it's wuk to protect.

THE AFC STATEMENT

5TH ANNIVERSARY OF LUSIGNAN MASSACRE

Posted by bwest in Press Releases

GUYANA NEEDS CLOSURE AND HEALING

January 26 marks the 5^th Anniversary of the Lusignan massacre. Though eleven persons were victims, Lusignan was the most shocking mass killing in Guyana, after Jonestown.

The Alliance for Change (AFC) remembers with anguish the late Clarence Thomas, 48; Vanessa Thomas, 12; Ron Thomas, 11; Mohandai Goordat, 32; Seegopaul Harilall, 10; Seegobin Harilall, 4; Dhanwajie Ramsingh, 52; Seecharran Rooplall, 56; Raywattie Ramsingh, 11; Shazam Mohammed, 22; and Shaleem Baksh, 52.

Several others were wounded and survived to re-live the horrors of that gruesome, insane, terrorist attack.

The 11 persons were murdered in cold blood whilst they slept in the peace and quiet of their humble dwelling by criminals carrying AK-47 assault rifles. Apart from early reports of a “vengeance killing” by the notorious “Fine Man”, no one has given a definitive account and, with the death of the alleged killer, these killings would go down as “cold cases”. They would be explained away as the work of criminal and narco-gangsters, just as the Bartica and the Lindo Creek massacres.

Many of these people were caring mothers, father, sisters and brothers – few were infants and students. The elders were champions in their own right in the little things they did to preserve and protect their families. But they were the poor and the underprivileged.  The five children were not allowed to dream or to graduate, to love and live in their own country where criminals and drug-lords settled scores through the muzzle of guns, some of whom were recruited by a frightened state to come to its defence.

Guyana has lost irreplaceable diamonds from its human collection as the PPP and the PNC battled for political space and dominance. Members of the disciplined services lost their lives in the line of duty during the killing frenzy of what one Head of State described as “rival gangs”.

Like all multiple killings (extra-judicial and otherwise), the Lusignan massacre represents a failure by our State to protect our people. It would forever be the smoking gun that points to the guilty parties, those who were in bed with the insurgents and narco-criminals.

Over the years we have seen these parties trying to pass the buck. Guyanese are tired of this scapegoat politics and blame-games. Guyanese are also fed up with efforts to use Lusignan and other tragic episodes for racial/ethnic solidarity and mobilisation, which only serve to desecrate the memories of the fallen victims.

AFC believes that a thorough investigation is needed into all mass crimes as well as corruption in post-independent Guyana, to bring not only closure for aggrieved families but healing to our nation as well.

The AFC shares the compound grief and loss of relatives and survivors, and commit itself to ensure that all Guyanese are afforded adequate protection and security, and that Guyana up-root the narco-and-money-laundering gangs and their handlers, who incubate criminals to menace our society. [END]

Why are these particular dead coolies a political issue? Did the PNC pour hot clarified butter on some coolies or what?

This was an plain and simple industrial accident in which both afros and indos died.

The PPP is clutching at straws.

Those wily blacks didn't do it? you mean the PPP is mying about evil blacks killing innocent coolies?

The truth was a afro jump to saved and indo and died in the process.

So if the PPP says anything else, they are plain liars.

My first impression was some evil PNC blacks killed some good PPP coolies from the Freedom House press release
