The PPP salutes the Government and people of Cuba

Time to stop saluting a dictatorship state and time to call for freedom for the Cuban people.

 

Cuba should be condemned for still being a communist state where dictators still rule. I disagree with the PPP on this one. These types of comments and support for dictators in Cuba angers the West, especially the United States.

Dem PPP boys living in the Jagans' dream. If dey have a chance Guyana will be a dictatorship under dem. Such hyprocrites. Under Forbes dey bellowed about dictatorship, yet they endorses such a regime that holds the basic human rights of the Cuban ppl in bondage.

 

Holy Ghost Fiah descend upon such men of loose morals.

But the PPP is a communist regime with links to the Chinese communist dictators.

Guyana cannot be ungrateful. YUgi, The Cuban Revolution was a just one.

Pavi, the Cuban revolution was not the problem, it's what followed. Even if you believe in the politics of retribution (against Mandela's principles) and send the bourgeois class on boats to Miami's South Beach (lovely Cuban chicks) you cannot accept the way black-skinned Cubans were being treated by the white Castro regime. Think hard about what Cuba is today and see if you like your own post here.

Every Country has it's problems. I congratulate Cuba. They have been and still IS a great contributor to Guyana.

boy..you so much like Forbes, I am surprised that you were not part of PNC. Forbes always looked to "contribute" and "support" other countries while keeping Guyana stagnant. That's the same thing going on in Cuba

Very intelligent response!

I know it is cold in Ny and Hot in Suriname but take another look.

 

They have been and still IS a great contributor to Guyana. And pay attention to the word TO.

I suspect PPP has to salute them so all them kids studying there continue to benefit

Among other benefits and mutual Services.

you is a prostitute a shameless prostitute i will not say more read between the lines

So that make you Gaumont biggest seller. I hear you broke the record for the most Customers in a night.

I used to support the Cuban Revolution but that was under the guidance of Dr Cheddi Jagan and the PPP.

The great Soviet Union self-destructed 23 years ago, the Cold War is no more.

Indeed, the world has changed.

I still follow events in Cuba closely. The Cuban economy is in shambles, the beautiful buildings in Havana are crumbling, teachers and doctors are complaining about low pay and under-funded schools and hospitals, and the average Cuban is suffering.

There is rising dissent in the streets and on the Internet. More Cubans are calling for a multi-party system and greater human rights.

On this 55th anniversary, the Cuban Revolution is already antiquated.

Also antiquated is the US economic embargo against Cuba.

Time for regime change and an end of the embargo.

The Cuban Revolution brought many benefits to the people.  Think about this.  A small third world island like Cuba provides medical training and services to many developing countries. 

 

If you are into the most popular Western bling, like most people in the English speaking Caribbean are, then Cuba is not the place for you.  If you are a poor downtrodden person the Cuban revolution gives you an opportunity to survive and better yourself.   

While Cuba is a communist state we must remember the many Cuban doctors that serve in Guyana giving an invaluable service, not to mention the scholarships and aid giving by Cuba over the decades.  As much as Guyana needs to align itself with fellow democratic nations and disassociate from the communists, the fact is that it is the communists that are more benevolent to the nation. The Americans, Canadian and British are tapped out of resources and when they do offer help, it is in a condescending high handed way, always with strings attached that violate sovereignty. 

i wonder sometime if you read what you post or if you really believe what you post can you name one country in the world that can exit without the abc countries 

To really see the inequality that exist in these ABC countries you have to go to places like Mississippi or some of these Indian reservations and see how the minority people live there.  One Indian Reservation I went to had a 12 year old girl working as a waitress.  She told me after she finishes her shift at 9 pm she then have to go home and do her homework.  Then go to places like lake Tahoe and Palm Beach and see how the wealthy people live.  It is truly a humbling experience that puts Cuba and the Cuban Revolution into real perspective.

What followed is the US_of_A's continued retaliation for a country becoming independent and not being a personal haven for its-US_of_A's citizens' personal delight.

the difference with hard work and a half decent education that girl have a future to look forward to in cuba ask the doctors how much money they work for with all their hard work and education they depend on the government for a living 

D_G, that's the most unintelligent response to "what followed". What did the USA's skulduggery have to do with the price of cheese. "What followed" is about the Castro regime's treatment of black Cubans. Can you respond to that? The US's schenanigans had nothing to do with the deck being stacked against Blacks in Cuba under Castro. Stop being so unintelligent. C'mon man you can do better than that insult to our senses.

Is the US retaliation responsible for no fair and free elections, people jailed without a trial, no freedom of the press and many other human rights violations by the Castro dictatorship? Meanwhile Castro living large with 1/2 a billion in the bank and people making 50 dollars a month. Man, they have some real dumbasses on this forum. I hope I don't suffer from dementia before I die.

De man is a Garmount patron.

And u think Castro and family doan live higher than an average doctor. If Che was alive dem razz would be dead by now.

i think u asking too much.

Complete your research and you will know what has followed plus what the US_of_A has done and still does even today.

 

Your current reply is simply ridiculous.

hello fool without the USA the PNC will still be ruling you today you fools must think before you post the USA is the greatest country in the world and thank god for that you know how to spell freedom 

US_of_A ensured that the PNC was in power in Guyana in 1964.

The CIA, Kennedy and panty wearing Churchill were the ones that ensure the 28 DARK YEARS!!!

It was for good reason considering the fear of the spreading of communism and the PPP's support for that system in the day and age.  Today we see the PPP championing democracy as though they did it all along, but let us not forget that the same party were pursuing communist ideals causing their falling out with the US. 

28 dark yrs under the pnc 21 yrs under the ppp guyana is bleeding no wonder there is more guyanese out of guyana than in 

Under Jagan and communism, just imagine the grief. Just like Latin America. Poverty and tears everyday. Thank goodness for the PNC, they were the alternative, otherwise u commies would ah get some real blows, ur wimen would have been raped, u would have been desolate. Atleast the PNC save ur azzez from the might of the USA. Stupid man Jagan believed he could threaten America or intimidate them.  

Insightful and engaging debate. That's the way for all of us to engage at this forum. It would be nice if the politicians in Guyana can chart a new course for Guyana.

 

Every race, every religion, social and political group can make a difference in Guyana rather than everyone shouting at each other. To be honest, Guyana's future looks bright but we must first admit our faults and weaknesses before the process of genuine change can take place.

 

A genuine effort to eradicate corruption must become a top priority for the PPP. This will be a major first step in the right direction. The PPP must realize that the electorate sent them a warning message at the last election and they may not be so kind this time around.

 

Before 1992, the PPP's top priority was "Winner Does not Take All". What happened to that priority ? Who is listening these days ?

 

Africans make up the second largest group of Guyanese but they are not happy with the status quo. We must reach out to them for the greater good of Guyana.

 

As for Castro and his Communism, it failed and he became a dictator. One dictator replaced another. That is no record to be proud of. Change will one day come to Cuba and the PPP needs to be on the right side of history on this one and stop supporting a Communist Dictatorship in Cuba.

 

The US embargo will end once Cuba has free and fair multi party elections.

 

Who Vex Vex.

 

Presidential indeed. 

Warria,

FYI.. the USA through the CIA put PNC in power.

Fidel does not live big.  He lives in a house with a pool but it is not a large nor lavish house. Plus he lives in that house with three grown children.  The Castro brothers do not live lavish lifestyles. When Fidel was a child he was living on his father's 30,000 acre plantation. The man certainly has fallen in living standards today.

You miss my point. The USA can be a ***** and a devil, it does not give Fidel a free pass to suppress Cuban Blacks. Address that or else I'll continue to say your response is unintelligent.

I read"Before Night Falls" by Reinaldo Arenas about gays in Cuba. I also read Carlos Moore's book "Pichon: Race and Revolution in Castro's Cuba". Both writers addressed some serious issues regarding human rights that have to be addressed by the Cuban Revolution some day.  Addressing these issues and  rectifying them would make the Cuban Revolution stronger not weaker.

I for one do not trust any book written by Westerners on Cuba. It has been a long standing method for government agencies to release propaganda material disguised as facts. As we have already learnt from the plane bombing in which many Guyanese citizens were murdered by a Cuban criminal given protection by the US, it is hard or impossible to get the US to admit it is whipping up anti Cuban sentiments at any cost. Cuba is now a popular holiday destination for many Europeans. If things were as bad as reported by the US media, the same would have been noted in the European media. But it isn't, so it must be US propaganda against the Cuban people.
