Mia Mottley on Forbes Burnham - she was right

DEAREDITOR,

The question is asked: was the Honourable Mia Mottleyrightinsidestepping the achievements of Burnham on The Liberation of The Peoples of Southern AfricaIssue?Andtheanswer is, she was within her rights todoso.Shehadeveryright to downplay Burnham’s contribution to The Liberation of the Peoples of Southern Africa because of documented damnable evidence on Burnham. Yes, Burnham spoke up for and gavetremendoussupportfor our oppressed brothers and sisters in Southern Africa, however,onemustnotforget that many, if not all, of the issueshestoodupagainstthe regime, the very same evils Burnhampracticedhere.The very same dastardly acts

Burnham stood for here in Guyana. I would just like to recountafewofthese:under Burnham there were no free andfairelections.

Like the South African Apartheid Oppressors, no free and fair elections were allowed in this country He systemicallybuiltupaBlack supremacistempirebasedon riggedelections,tothepoint where no one could dare challengehim.

The Police and, by extension, the Courts were controlled by him, so that to put an end to the evil was almost an impossibility.This subtle form of Black apartheid saw the brutal slaying of many who dared tostandupagainsthimsuch asthe“BallotBoxmartyrs,” and Dr Walter Rodney His wasasystemwherepolitical opponents were constantly harassed and killed The Police and the Courts were trainedtopropuphisregime. Theseweretheblunttrauma wewerecalledtobear,some of which are still visible today

Further, Mia Mottley would have remembered the embarrassmentshesuffered, when she had to lead five PrimeMinistersintoGuyana toendthedisgracefulsystem of rigging and Black Apartheid but was rebuffed. For five long months this reprehensible situation dragged on, before a court put an end to it. The CCJ ruledthatelectionresultshad tobedeclaredonthebasisof the votes cast which was reflectedinTheSop’s.

So, yes Burnham is noteworthy of good deeds towardsThePeopleofSouth Africa, however, his selfish and dictatorial efforts far supersedes his good deeds, and The Honourable Lady hides her face in disgust on these counts. In this regard, she was duty bound to shy away from mentioning his name on an international stage. The PNC must come to the realization that not only was Prime Minister Mottley in her right not to highlight the virtues of Burnham, butThePeople of Guyanaonawholewhonow live in a free democracy wouldlikehertodojustthat. Mia Mottley does not stand alone on this note, but The People of Guyana stand together with her on this issue.

Respectfullysubmitted,
