Seeking a united Guyana

-

meaningful and relevant to Guyanese. There is a need to bridge the racial divide in Guyana. This can only be achieved from the grass-roots level as the political class is not conducive to an amicable solution from which everyone will benefit.

We will hold consultati­ons with Guyanese, both locally and in the diaspora, so that we all come to acknowledg­e that politics and economics are not the answers to the issues affecting the Guyanese nation. We are not a political party; we are a movement. We want a united Guyana.

We feel that a national conversati­on on unity needs to be initiated.

When every Guyanese feels that the politician­s across the political divide are working for their benefit and that they have an equal share in the resources and opportunit­ies in Guyana then we would have arrived as a united Guyanese nation.

Entrenched racial polarizati­on is difficult to change so the end results may not be immediate and apparent. There is a lot of propaganda out there from both sides of the political divide that creates and sustains racial polarizati­on. We all have our differing opinions, political views, etc. Let us argue, get upset, then scratch our heads and come up with solutions to our many problems. If people agree with me that racial polarizati­on must end, then they should join the United Guyana Party. We do not want any money; they should just spread the word that Guyanese want to be united as One People, One Nation, One Destiny.

Yours faithfully, Sean Ori
