Reply to "How exactly is Volda Lawrence stoking “ethnic fear” by hatching an APNU plan (albeit crudely presented) to run Indo-Guyanese in Region 4 LDCs lost to the PPP?"

With due respect to you the GDF and the GPF are conditioned to protect the status quo even if its isn't the party which most of them support.

1. We had the spectacle of the PNC accusing the GPF/GDF of abusing poor black boys and the PPP rushing to defend them.

2. If the GDF/GPF were hostile to the PPP there would have been a coup when Roger Khan was wreaking havoc and "restoring lawfulness" would have been the "excuse".

During the Jagdeo era he had control over those entities and selected their leadership because he knows that the mid level ranks in these entities never revolt against the leadership. He learned this from Burnham who was determined to ensure that the attempted coup in T&T in the early 70s wasn't going to happen in Guyana.

In addition the notion that the majority of blacks support protests is a fallacy.  It disrupts business which means that people are being inconvenienced. I was in Guyana at a time when there were protests and every time it occurred the vendors had to shut down their stalls and move their inventory. They were NOT happy.  This is why there haven't been large protests for at least 10 years.
