Banna,which century are you living in ??

Django posted:

Just for my confirmation,have a few questions,can any one help.

(1) What year wheat flour and other food items were banned.

(2) What year contraband started,bringing in these food items .

(2) Which Ethnicity was the majority in the illegal trade.

Why your third question. What the FK are you getting at.

Coolie man use their  smart brain power to earn a lively hood and provide employment for every race putting food on the table for you and your family. 

The same man who ban flour, had his people pretending they were mixing rice flour to foil the people, when it was wheat. 

Question for you Django, why you hate yourself so much. 

You should not be carrying that Indian name you have. 

Not 1970 and 71...late 70s and 80s

And many white Mouth PNC supporters were enjoying the contraband items, including some FILTH HEADS on GNI

ANSWER: It started in the early 1970s with the publication of a list of RESTRICTED items.

(2) What year contraband started,bringing in these food items .

ANSWER: After the 1973 election the restricted list was lengthened and upgraded to a PROHIBITED list. Contraband trading emerged as a culture.

(2) Which Ethnicity was the majority in the illegal trade.

ANSWER: I don't have statistical evidence but I would say Indos.

I think so too. Early 80's I've been lining up for bread and kero. But for sure the indos profited well. Boatloads of contraband came in from suriname. Ask that chap from Annandale, he know the runnings.

Your ramblings are uncalled for,why the irritation ?

Regarding food on the table from a kid,seen food was provided by the elders in the family from rice to garden vegetables..etc.

You like to tump your chest too much,our family member's had business in GT and the country side on the WCD,you were not even born as yet,one had a wholesale store opposite D'Aguair.They were living in Bel Air,some were big in to cattle rearing for milk.They were my mothers first cousins the rich side of the family.

Flour was produced by an American owned mill. It was ordered to cease production of wheaten flour in early 82. Smuggling from Suriname already had a ten year history. The first 5 year development plan  headed by Arthur Lewis failed by 72 and Guyana was on a downhill slide. Sugar kept the nation afloat as it was the only viable industry. Cash became scarce and Burnham began his swing to the left. Indians began this smuggling trade Blacks started the Cuyuni/ Mazuruni into Venezuela. They were funded by mainly indians who bought the contraband. Later it became a migratory route into el tigre and the puerto ordez regon for indians. Some 60 thousand moved there and they dominated the border trade and developed the these as drug routes as well.

D2, that is why I say let the PPP run the Country

The questions he asked are relevant historical questions and the answer does not cast shade on anyone. I went back track to Suriname twice when I was around 15. I went as far as Cayenne French Guyana with some friends who wanted to explore escaping to Europe. They eventually did..  Traders dominated the traffic but there were also many Guyanese men going there for work in the rice fields in places like Wageningen. Indian girls dominated the hospitality trade. They could do it in Suriname and save face.
