It’s not about Race or the Lesser Evil: It is about the promise of Transformation – Dr. David Hinds

Dec 08, 2019  Features / Columnists, Hinds’ Sight with Dr. David Hinds

In his November 24, 2019 column in the Kaieteur News, Freddie Kissoon wrote on the topic “Lesser of two evils.” Here is a quotation from that column: “Recently, two African Guyanese known for their adumbration of African culture and the need for a strong African presence in Guyana’s economy wrote that they support the present government over the PPP in the forthcoming election because it is the lesser of two evils. They are Dr. Kean Gibson and Dr. David Hinds”

A quick perusal of my two columns on the matter shows that I never used that characterisation to describe my electoral support for the Coalition. I deliberately avoided it, because I know that is not what I am doing.    Continue reading →

                    Open letter to His Excellency Jovenel Moise, Président of Haïti

Excellency, you make us look ugly!

By Jean Hervé Charles

President Moise you make us look ugly! It is true that the President of the United States, Donald Trump allegedly, called Haiti a shithole; however we had taken the determination to demonstrate to President Trump that Haiti that was the pearl of the West Indies, with a divine mission to be an emancipator nation, cannot continue to live in shit forever.

Your determination to remain in power despite the will of the Haitian people of all social strata to get rid of this kind of medieval government that prevents its people from flourishing is a major obstacle to our drive to end forever with widespread misery.        Continue reading →
