Dear Editor,
I would like to ask the question, who has
got more to gain from the situation
in Buxton, the PPP/C or the
PNCR?
At the height of the crime wave in 2002/3
it was hotly rumoured among the Guyanese
Diasporas in the USA that the PPP/C had
knowledge of who
was behind it. I had chosen
not to believe this.
Then came Fahrenheit 9/11 and as I
watched in disbelief at what it was saying,
I started believing that rumour about the
PPP/C.
The leadership of this government and the
PPP/C have chosen not to rid Buxton of the
rogues that roam there. However, let us ask
ourselves who has ever succeeded in escaping
from Buxton after being kidnapped? I know
only of two persons. One was a US
diplomat and on his release,
the US Government issued a wanted bulletin
for Dale Moore, who was gunned down the same
week. The other was a businessman, who was
rescued with the help of the GDF and is said
to be a
relative of the President,
his mother's cousin. Is it coincidence that
these two persons were saved and to date no
one else has been?
It is common knowledge that the race vote
has played a very active part in our
elections. Thus, the PPP/C has seen it
convenient to leave the situation in Buxton
as it is in the hope that Indians will feel
insecure and do everything in their power to
ensure that the PNCR never gets into power.
Yours faithfully,
Ameer
