‘Oil boom’ is transforming the country [Guyana] into “a potential player in global geopolitics”, according to an editorial published in the Thursday September 19 issue of the Jamaica Observer, one of the two leading newspapers in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member country. “It is a wonder to behold, and we are quite pleased to see it, how Guyana’s oil boom is transforming the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member on the South American coast into a potential player in global geopolitics,” The Observer trumpeted in its issue a day ago.
“The attention being attracted by the previously poor Third World country is underlined by an estimated 15 billion litres of oil off its coast, which when realized, will make Guyana Latin America’s third-largest oil producer after Brazil and Mexico,” The Observer beamed, reflecting a sense of pride over the good fortune of a sister CARICOM member country.
