Dear Editor,
Born in Lusignan and grown in Buxton, I state publicly my sympathy with those people on the East Coast of Demerara who have suffered at the hands of lawless gunmen or official security forces, trained to secure officials only.
There has been a string of atrocities, coming one after the other, from murder of a mother to torture of civilians and soldiers. But none can compare with the cold- blooded Lusignan carnage of the innocent, as if some new Herod has ordered the slaughter of a new generation of children as part of some scheme of wild justice.
I merely ask the gunmen’s commander, in what way can these Lusignan killings ever compensate or comfort those in Buxton tortured, wounded or killed.
I am sure that Guyanese across the board know deep inside that we are being ruled by rulers. As Karen de Souza exclaimed in the late 70s in other circumstances, “There is no government!”
Yours faithfully,
Eusi Kwayana
