UK envoy calls for reconciliation here

Gregory Quinn

British High Commissioner Greg Quinn has issued a call for reconciliation among all political parties following the recently concluded controversial elections, five months after Guyanese went to the polls.

Noting that Northern Ireland from where he hails has itself had a checkered past marred by division, but is today more unified; Quinn said that there is a lot that Guyana can learn moving forward.  

He said that Northern Ireland represents an example where two divergent religious groups came to understand the need for reconciliation for the benefit of every citizen.
