The U.S. love to meddle by force around the world. In Guyana they're happy to be welcome to meddle. The mere fact in this cartoon, is the same way American operates. When they see no more interest for them, they walk out and leave you high and dry. So, Guyana used them and kick them out when they overstep their boundary. The United States is not an easy country to deal with. They learn from the British how to divide and conquer.
Correct depiction, Gilbakka.
He needs to understand the role of an Ambassador.
Now I know why many of them get booted out from Venezuela, and many other countries.
He never knew Priya can throw her weight around like that.

Prior to 1992 the PPP begged foreign missions to intervene in local politics
Dear Editor,
I consider the reactions by the PPP and the statements by President Donald Ramotar in response to outgoing United States Ambassador Brent Hardtâs comments at the Blue Caps function, that many of the issues raised by the American diplomat âare really way out and the Ambassador would do very very well, instead of getting involved in local politics, to really represent the interest of his country properly,â duplicitous and hypocritical.
I remember as an eager voter in 1990, then Opposition Leader Dr Cheddi Jagan welcoming the intervention by Senator Kennedy in the fight for free and fair elections in Guyana calling it a âslap in the faceâ for Mr Hoyte. Dr Jagan and the PPP had no qualms about âmeddlingâ and went further to assert that âSenator Kennedyâs intervention should be followed by other Senators; the Jimmy Carter Centre (for free elections) should also send a mission here to see whether the election laws and regulations allow the will of the people to be reflected in free and fair elections.â
The PPP prior to the 1992 general and regional elections was begging foreign missions here to intervene in our âlocal politics.â Today the PPP is no longer interested in allowing âthe will of the peopleâ to be reflected at the local government level. The PPP would like us to believe that there was a âreturn to democracyâ in 1992; the truth is the PPP closed the door on democracy after the 1992 elections results were announced.
Ambassador Hardtâs constant demands for the President to call local government elections must therefore be seen in the same context as previous calls by the PPP for foreign missions to intervene to ensure Guyanese can democratically elect their leaders.
Yours faithfully,
Julianne Gaul
