—Jagdeo tones down call for polling date – Will Appeal to the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ)
Demerara Waves – March 22, 2019
Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo Friday night appeared to tone down calls for President David Granger to announce an early election date after Guyana’s Court of Appeal ruled that the no-confidence motion was not validly passed.
He, however, said his People’s Progressive Party (PPP) would continue to demand that the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) be in a state of readiness for early polls because the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) could soon decide whether Friday’s decision by the Appeal Court that last December’s no-confidence motion needed 34 instead of 33 votes was valid.

– Jagdeo insists people have a right to protest “illegal” administration
March 22, 2019 News
Police Chief, Commissioner Leslie James, has announced that the force has placed police stations in all regions on high alert amid reports of intentions to disrupt the calm.
The warnings come ahead of this afternoon’s rulings of the Court of Appeal on the no-confidence vote of December 21 in the National Assembly. That vote heralded the fall of the Coalition Government.
The government has challenged the legality of the vote.
There were calls for protests as the 90-day deadline for holding early elections, according to the Constitution, elapsed at midnight. Continue reading →

World – The slaughter of Muslims in New Zealand a cause for reflection
– By Mohamed Hamaludin
A worshiper in a mosque where hundreds are praying welcomes an obvious newcomer not by asking who he is but with the greeting, “Hello, brother,” just before he is shot and killed.
Eighteen years earlier, Muslims fly passenger jets into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing more than 3,000 Americans.
Who is the true Muslim?
That question came into sharp relief again last Friday with the massacre of 50 Muslims in two New Zealand mosques by a “white nationalist.” It should not be difficult to answer. There are 1.8 billion Muslims, second only to the 2.3 billion Christians. It should be ridiculous to believe that all of them are terrorists but, essentially, that is how some people see them. Those people embrace the fantasy that Muslims plan to Islamicize Western civilization by violence and mass migration masquerading as a refugee crisis. Continue reading →
