Straws in the wind that we cannot ignore

Dear Editor,

In a letter published on March 10, 2020, I requested in the most neutral language possible investigation and documentation of reports in the media of incidents at various places on March 6, 2020.  I took care in that letter to avoid any suggestion of partisan involvement.  As is well known, I was rewarded with a series of demands that I should denounce the rigging of the votes then being counted.  So far as I know, not a single voice supported even the investigation and documentation of the incidents of “humans being brutal to humans” as I described them.

Sunday evening, I received information that incidents had taken place at one of the places featured in the March 6 events.  All I am doing now is to say that incidents like those of March 6 are straws in the wind and that we can choose to ignore them at our peril.

At this stage, I have no further comments on the recent events which are still being reported.  We have been told very plainly that the March 2, 2020 victory represents the “triumph of Good over Evil.”

Along with other Guyanese, I anxiously await the response of citizens to the present events.  In particular, I am anxious to see the responses of the political camps and their camp followers to the present developments.  My sympathy goes out to those who are bereaved and to all the unfortunate people caught up in the tragedy.

Yours faithfully,

Eusi Kwayana
