"📢 This war is unlike Ukraine; it resembles the Vietnam war! It's a battle unfolding in the depths of the Jungle. Allegedly, the government has relocated citizens to ensure their safety and maintain peace. Let's heed the advice of experts and stay calm, Guyanese. Together, we can navigate through this challenging time. 🙏 "

I don't support Maduro taking over , but let's not forget that many Guyanese in the 70s, 80s, and 90s sought refuge in Venezuela. They lived and worked there for many decades, and at that time, many Guyanese were eager for Venezuelan citizenship. I have a feeling that many still do.

I went to Venezuela in the 80s, and Venezuelans were living much better than Guyanese. The government at that time treated its citizens well. I cannot speak for the present.

A lot of Guyanese in Essequibo have been suffering for a long time. Our government needs to do better by the poor people in our country. They can start by giving them the title to their land and property.

Many Guyanese who went to Venezuela and improved their lives must be very grateful. Let's not forget those who helped us in life. Please refrain from being hateful with your comments towards Venezuelans in Guyana who are now seeking refuge. Leave the politics to the politicians. Treat Venezuelans in Guyana with dignity, respect, and kindness. Many of them are working to take care of their children. We are all one race of people—the human race.

"Originality is the essence of innovation, but a critic who merely emulates those around them can never truly lead. Will this , who imitates every business person, now seek to replicate the vision of Jagdeo?"

“Lowlife and hungry belly.” Is a racist remark! Cathy Hughes is certainly not a Lowlife, but yet she was publicly mocked as one!

Dear Divine Creator,

We come before you today with heavy hearts, seeking solace and guidance for the women of Guyana who endure unimaginable hardships. We pray for strength and protection for these women who face verbal and physical abuse, disrespect, ridicule, torment, r**e, and even death. It pains us to witness their suffering, as they are treated as second-class citizens in their own land.

We lift up our voices in prayer for the women in politics who face additional challenges. May they find the courage to rise above the demeaning remarks and unfair treatment from their male counterparts. May their contributions be recognized and celebrated, regardless of their willingness to conform to the expectations of those in power.

We specifically ask for healing and transformation within the hearts of the Vice President and all those who perpetuate such disrespectful behavior. Help them understand the profound impact of their words and actions, and guide them towards empathy, compassion, and respect for all individuals, regardless of gender.

Divine Creator, we beseech you to ignite a wave of change in the collective consciousness of Guyana. May society as a whole recognize the inherent worth and value of women, treating them with kindness, honor, and dignity. May the voices of the marginalized be heard, and may justice prevail for those who have suffered unjustly.

Grant strength, resilience, and wisdom to the women of Guyana so that they may navigate these treacherous waters with grace. Surround them with a supportive community that uplifts and empowers them. Provide them with the resources and opportunities needed to break free from the cycle of abuse and inequality.

In this prayer, we ask for transformation, healing, and justice. May love and respect prevail over hate and discrimination. May the women of Guyana find solace, safety, and liberation in their lives. May their voices be heard, their rights protected, and their dreams fulfilled.

We offer this prayer with faith, hope, and the belief that positive change is possible. May your divine light shine upon the women of Guyana and guide them towards a future of equality, peace, and prosperity.

Amen.

**Unraveling the Web of Allegations: A Hitchcockian Tale of Corruption and Intrigue in Guyana**

Onîque Persaud

7/14/23

In the heart of Guyana, a gripping saga of corruption allegations has unfolded, reminiscent of an Alfred Hitchcock thriller. At the center of this labyrinthine plot are the Mohameds, a prominent family facing serious accusations that have sent shockwaves through the community. As an anti-corruption advocate on behalf of the Guyanese people, it is imperative to dive into this twisted web and shed light on the truth.

The story gained momentum with a recent Reuters report titled "US Probing Exxon Contractor in Guyana for Smuggling Drugs, Gold." The report, eerily reminiscent of a previous discredited Bram Ebus publication, unleashed a wave of defamatory claims against Mr. Nazar Mohamed and his son Azruddin Mohamed.

According to the report, the Mohameds are allegedly under investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and other US agencies. The accusations range from smuggling Colombian co***ne and illegally mined Venezuelan gold to money laundering for drug traffickers and criminals, including sanctioned Russian nationals operating in the region. However, the Mohameds vehemently deny these allegations and challenge Reuters to provide any evidence supporting their claims.

As the plot thickens, it becomes apparent that the story is not as clear-cut as it seems. Reuters failed to produce any substantial evidence backing their allegations, leaving readers questioning the veracity of the claims. The Mohameds maintain their innocence and question the sources used by Reuters, calling the report a vile diabolical hatchet job.

Yet, intrigue lingers as whispers of Interpol's involvement in the case emerge. Rumors suggest that Interpol possesses sufficient information to substantiate the allegations against the Mohameds. However, concrete details remain elusive, leaving us to wonder about the extent of their involvement and the evidence they possess.

In this Hitchcockian tale, uncertainty reigns. It is crucial to remember the importance of relying on verified sources and official statements to separate fact from fiction. The Mohameds' challenge to produce evidence, combined with the lack of substantiation from Reuters, should compel us to approach this story with caution.

As the narrative unfolds, it becomes evident that a comprehensive investigation is necessary to unearth the truth. The fight against corruption requires due process and a commitment to transparency. It is through meticulous examination and unbiased inquiries that justice can be served, protecting the integrity of both individuals and institutions.

In conclusion, the Mohameds find themselves entangled in a gripping story of allegations, mystery, and conflicting narratives. As advocates for anti-corruption, it is our duty to closely follow the developments, question the sources, and demand accountability. Let us remain vigilant, seek the truth, and ensure that justice prevails in this Hitchcockian tale of corruption and intrigue.
