Linden crisis…Cautious optimism as Govt., Region 10 officials reach consensus
AUGUST 18, 2012 | BY KNEWS |
Region 10 Chairman Sharma Solomon last night expressed optimism that a solution to the one-month Linden crisis is in sight, following a meeting yesterday at the Office of the President between Government officials and a delegation from Region Ten.
Solomon disclosed that the two sides formulated a document which addresses the key grouses of the citizens of Linden, such as the hiking of the electricity rates, lack of economic investments, and the absence of an independently-owned television station.
However, he also explained that the team representing Region Ten had only initialed the document, since a lot depends on the resolving of issues such as the Commission of Inquiry into the July 18 killing and injury of protesters. Continue reading →

Letter to the Editor – by Eusi Kwayana
The Editor. Kaieteur News. Georgetown
Dear Editor,
I thank heaven that the barefaced and cowardly attack on Mr. Freddie Kissoon did not come from the typical street person, who gets the bad name for everything bad in Guyana. The offender’s mode of escape shows that the offender or his handler is not of the suffering class.
The attack on Mr Kissoon, well known for his solidarity with those he knows to be sufferers and victims of injustice, and now with Lindeners, falls into a pattern of political behaviour. Clearly it comes from the government or its defenders. Although he escaped serious injury the attack must be classed among the Ugliest, coming from a political desert and a wish to control everything and everyone in sight. In 2010 they attacked him with human body waste. Now they threw a human body itself unto the fray, wasting a whole person. That is not all.
