Any form of Shared Governance-- where decisions are arrived at by discussions and consensus will immediately take away this current perception that only one group has all the answers and authority and that every decision is predicated by the assumption of how 'my voting support group can benefit' rather than the Country as a whole becoming better off.
Shared Governance will prevent one Group from encouraging the current administration from "dismissing all the striking Nurses and bring in nurses from India.....just read the FB comments and see how fellow Guyanese are laying bare their heart to the public.
Hopefully you will see the hidden darkness that is lurking below the facade that can quickly erupt into unimaginable evil and destruction.
It behooves all and sundry to leave no no stone upturned to facilitate a National cohesion and where there is a will, a way will be found.
We are not Surinam......We have had years of mutual interdependence and working together.
Instead, you should be volunteering all forms of advice on why " shared, inclusive or even just basic communication will be better than this current inflexible and strong armed approach of Prez. Ali who is now displaying a level of intractability that was hitherto unthinkable.
Guyanese are on the cusp of incredible wealth inspire of what the political class may unintentionally have bargained away, .....the ruler of this world will not allow us to enjoy same without a deliberate effort of goodwill on our part.
We have a large database of Guyanese worldwide. Most of our readers are in the USA, Canada, and the UK. Our Blog and Newsletter would not only carry articles and videos on Guyana, but also other articles on a wide range of subjects that may be of interest to our readers in over 200 countries, many of them non-Guyanese We hope that you like our selections.
It is estimated that over one million Guyanese, when counting their dependents, live outside of Guyana. This exceeds the population of Guyana, which is now about 750,000. Many left early in the 50’s and 60’s while others went with the next wave in the 70’s and 80’s. The latest wave left over the last 20 years. This outflow of Guyanese, therefore, covers some three generations. This outflow still continues today, where over 80 % of U.G. graduates now leave after graduating. We hope this changes, and soon.
Guyanese, like most others, try to keep their culture and pass it on to their children and grandchildren. The problem has been that many Guyanese have not looked back, or if they did it was only fleetingly. This means that the younger generations and those who left at an early age know very little about Guyana since many have not visited the country. Also, if they do get information about Guyana, it is usually negative and thus the cycle of non-interest is cultivated.
This Guyana Diaspora Online Forum , along with its monthly newsletter, aims at bringing Guyanese together to support positive news, increase travel and tourism in Guyana and, in general, foster the birth of a new Guyana, which has already begun notwithstanding the negative news that grabs the headlines. As the editor and manager of the publication, I am committed to delivering Blog entries and Newsletters that are politically balanced, and focused on the positive ideas we wish to share and foster among Guyanese.
