and Indian criminals based on the Corentyne kill other Indians, including the massacre that hit world news when those fishermen were chopped in pieces and fed to the sharks.
Your point? Hoyte was nowhere around by the time the Buxton violence started.
Hoyte is on record to say Slow Fyaah Mo Fyaah... out the window with your make up story.. bun out
Now that the trial of the Bartica Massacre 5 has finally started, your Eyewitness was forced to revisit those gory days. It escalated with the Mashramani Jail Breakout in 2002 and finally ended with Fineman and the remnants of his gang dying in a blaze of gunfire in August 2008. Those were no days of wine and roses – but six long years during which many thought we’d end up like those “Banana Republics” we used to snicker at!
But we still don’t really know who was behind it all, do we? The fire began building slowly after the 1997 elections and picked up steam during the PNC protests demanding a “forensic audit” of the election results. But when the audits showed there was nothing wrong electorally – the protests still forced Janet Jagan from the presidency. Plus a complete overhaul of the Constitution – including a reduction of the powers of the Burnhamite Presidency.
But this simply encouraged Hoyte to launch his infamous “slow fyaah…mo’ fyaah” strategy, which segued into the jailbreak. So, the Bartica Massacre – 12 dead, along with the Lusignan Massacre – 11 dead and the Lindo Creek Massacre – 8 dead, all in 2008 were really all part of a violent uprising to oust the PPP since the beginning of 1998.
Blackie London, the notorious bandit, killed in 2000, begat Andrew Douglas, a member of his gang as the leader of the Jailbreak 5 and he in turn begat Fineman Rawlins, a member of HIS gang, as his successor. It was a decade of war against the State through terroristic acts against the civilian populace as well as the Guyana Police Force. In that decade, more police died under fire than in the entire 180-year history of the Force. Three policemen died at Bartica.
So the trial of the accused in the Bartica Massacre isn’t just about justice for the dead of Bartica, but for all Guyana. A state is created by the citizens for their protection and when that state comes under attack, all the people of the country are under fire. If for nothing else that if the state falls, anarchy reigns and the law of the jungle becomes the norm. The charge of “terrorism” that the gunmen face is particularly important, since this was the modus operandi of the gunmen from the moment they started their “operations” from within the village of Buxton.
Our law against terrorism was hurriedly crafted and passed during the onslaught against the State and described its fundamental characteristic: the use of violence against innocent citizens simply to make a political statement against the State.
Who was it that said, “Bun dem”??
…against making the law an ass
This Minister of Communities, Ronald Bulkan, is something else. After a year of closing his eyes to the blatant dictatorial actions of the Georgetown Town Clerk, who is under his Ministry, he finally wrote a letter patting him on the wrist. And that was that…even as the highhandedness of King continues.
Anyhow, asked why the Local Government Commission, supposed to replace him in supervising the Town Clerk and suchlike, isn’t in place – and the PPP has nominated its three members – this is the best Bulkan could do. He quoted Section 4 (1) (b) of the Local Government Commission Act of 2013: “the Local Government Commission shall include, “three members appointed by the President acting on Advice of Leader of the Opposition after consultation with other Parliamentary parties.”
Then said he’s waiting on the PPP to consult with “other parliamentary parties”. But haven’t the “other parliamentary parties” formed the government and should’ve nominated THEIR four members? !!
Is this guy for real??
…and disasters
Yesterday was “International Day for Disaster Reduction”. We suggest that Guyana’s contribution should be for the Government to remove the entire lot it’s placed in charge of Agriculture.
And since, like with fishes, institutions start stinking at the head…let’s start there!
