This is good. usually when people talk about Guyana there's a lot of misinformation but this was really good especially the guy that spoke first

Born in Georgetown, British Guiana 1940: it's remarkable to listen and observe that many 'experts' who don't know what they don't know. However Pro. Griffith is doing well.

thank you for helping to expose this in my country.

I never refer to myself as Caribbean. Always like the idea of being the only English speaking nation in South America.

Great intel, really puts into perspective current events

Great stuff Red Line. Can you do a follow-up please? This has escalated drastically :)

Will you do a follow-up on this, please?

Thanks for pulling the shade.

Excellent podcast

Didn't see this one comin, nice vid 👏🏽

There is so many more beautiful things you guys can talk about, other than strategies of war, for the use of such pristine tropical rain forest.

Thank you for sharing

May God help us all.

welcome to the grand chest board Guyana. gonna be a baptism by fire

What specific model was used in Guyana to gather the information on the population? How was i involved in it?

The APNU/ AFC didn't send home no one when the take office in 2015

One correction ,at the split both were ppp ,one headed by jagan and the other by Burnham

Guess we weren't as unseen as i thought

I view myself as South American. But not culturally.

C.I.A. Divide.

This post is old. Many things are different starting with the Government and infrastructure Need a more up to date analysis please🙏

Interesting perspective. I think she overstates Cambridge Analytica's impact. I'm an Indo-Trinidadian and her image of indian/afro youth is gross over simplification. while there are racial affinities, both indo/afro youth are impacted by the same culture/education etc and have similiar outlooks, including the rebelliousness against parents/authority. More important was the widespread unpopularity of the incumbent PNM who just lost a high profile cabinet member, was embroiled in corruption allegations and had a mysterious 'prophetess' advising him. IT WAS NOT VOTER SUPPRESSION

Oil was found I'm Guyana since in the year 1973 , the P M (Burnham)said 51% share or leave the oil alone

35:30 _ This isn't the whole story. Disparate issues coalesced to swing that election. Mostly, there started to be steady and growing concern over corruption and wasted tax-dollars on government-funded construction projects (the most infamous of which was Las Alturas). Circumstance played a role as the global economic issues rippling out from the US (housing bubble collapse of 2008) caused hardships and retrenchments here, reduced employment, added economic pressure on the populace, which then translated into political pressure (as economic issues always do). An ill-timed desire to introduce property taxes during the economic challenges put many of the older would-be voters off (ie, ones who would have owned property), meanwhile younger voters were concerned about the environmental ramifications of the then Prime Minister's controversial smelter plant drive. From every direction at that time, there was discontent. The 'Do So' campaign had a lot to work with. and it's very likely that election would have swung regardless, solely due to the economic woes and corruption concerns.

DW had a documentary about how Ghana found oil in 2007 and promised its residents changes are coming..

The latter number had probably risen by the outbreak of the War of Spanish Succession.By 1702 the settlement had trading post on the Demerara river,the Mahiaca creek,the Pomeroon and Moruka ,and high up the Guyuni . The attack on kykoveral came on 18 October 1708 ,when three French privateers sailed up the Essequibo , burning and plundering as they went. Van der Heyden Resen, the Commander of kykoveral at this time ,refused , probably rightly ,to sally Fort from his fort to meet the enemy ,arguing that it was his first duty to hold the fort and so hold the colony .The planters pleaded with him to distribute the soldiers to the various plantations in order to fight the buccaneers ; but van der Heyden contented that his little force of about fifty men was too small to be scattered in this way .While this controversy was raging ,the privateers appeared off Bartica,which was then Plantation Vryheid .

The 1899 dispute was no resolve, was ilegal.

Russia sees in us what we failed see in ourselves.

God is so amazing! Sociology... I don't think they will ever "completely understand" anything with science :) but.. it is fascinating.. I miss being at uni and studying; I think... it'd be cool to learn ancient Hebrew and Greek now :D more than any science.. weird, that.

The truth about the beginning of this territory controversy. In 1822, more than two hundred years ago, in the dominions of Venezuela, which was then part of the Republic of Colombia, the presence of English settlers was detected, who occupied Demerara and Berbice near the Essequibo River, beyond the territories that belonged to the United Kingdom under the provisions of the Treaty of London of 13 August 1814.The territory that Holland had ceded to the United Kingdom by said Treaty consisted of the camps of Demerara, Berbice and Essequibo, made up of a geographic space of no more than 32,186 square kilometres, which Holland had acquired from Spain through the Treaty of Münster of 1648. The territories ceded by Spain to Holland and, later, to the United Kingdom, never extended beyond the eastern margin of the Essequibo River. At the same time, beginning in 1822, efforts were made to get the British to agree to the establishment of a demarcation line between British Guiana and Colombia. However, this did not happen and, on the contrary, in 1840, the United Kingdom unilaterally drew a demarcation line that unfairly added to its territory an area of 141,930 square kilometres of Venezuelan nation, starting from the mouth of the Amacuro River and running north-south as far as the Roraima River, and this is precisely the origin of the controversy. From then on, the United Kingdom began to expand into the territory of the Essequibo... In 1887, during the third government of Antonio Guzmán Blanco, on the occasion of the discovery of gold deposits, the United Kingdom considered, again unilaterally, that the border with Venezuela consisted of a line drawn from the coast to Upata, thus usurping 203,310 square kilometres of territory belonging to Venezuela. The incursion of settlers from Demerara and Berbice to the west of the Essequibo River, the maps unilaterally drawn up by the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom’s violations of the sovereignty of Venezuela’s territory were always rejected by Venezuela. Years later, as a result of pressure from the United States of America, the United Kingdom finally agreed to submit the controversy to arbitration, which took place on 3 October 1899, when the Paris Award was issued, whereby 159,500 square kilometres were awarded to the United Kingdom, significantly more than the territory ceded by Holland to the United Kingdom, through the aforementioned Treaty of London of 13 August 1814. The Paris Award was the product of a procedural farce. It is null and void because of the multiple direct violations of the Washington Treaty of 1897 and the international law in force at the time it was rendered, and also because it violated due process; had the flaw of arbitrators exceeding their powers; decided beyond what was required of the arbitral tribunal and, consequently, ruled ultra petita; lacked the required reasoning, and, furthermore, the arbitrators did not comply with their duty of impartiality. As a first objective approximation and introduction to this issue; By the Treaty of London of 13 August 1814, the United Kingdom acquired the Dutch settlements of Berbice, Demerara and Essequibo east of the Essequibo River, which Holland had acquired from Spain by the Treaty of Münster of 24 October 1648. All these camps were east of the Essequibo River. Thus, all territories west of the Essequibo River have always belonged to Venezuela.

Rightousness will be. Save our prople

The US is trying to keep everyone out, while everyone else is trying to get in 😅

if i were the leader of guyana for my people sake i would of not interfere with venezuelas land especially in a time when the country is not doing good that would bring war and they have nothing to lost so it will happen

The Indo Population is no longer larger by virtue of migrations etc. The Census proved this.

The last Guy the host was talking to is not very knowledgeable. He doesn't know the extreme basic question of why Russia has an interest in Guyana. ....Its in the political history of the country. Both of the main leaders in Guyana were socialists. Both of them pursued socialism in the 50s to 60s and in the 70s Guyana was emulating socialist economic policies. Politicians respected and loved Cuba and some people even on one of the Current politicians went to study in Russia. Cuba was very influential in the Caribbean

I would not say that I am from the Caribbean; due to the fact, geographically that Guyana is located in South America. We has Guyanese have to face that fact. We was joined into Caricom; but we are the only English speaking Country in South America. Now I wish that someone would step up to the plate about the political craziness that is going on in Guyana. How is it? Jagdeo was a President, served his term and now he is the Prime Minister for Guyana?? Something is very, very wrong there. If Guyana have oil, why is Guyana having " Power outage every day, seven days a week. Where is the money to fix that??? Over 62 years Guyana is having power outage aka(Blackout) and it is the tear; 2023 and it is getting worst?? Why is there so many ," Racial killing of Black Young Men" and Black People are threated like ,"DOGS". Check out the corruption with the Present Party. I am not looking at the racial things, but both Black and Indians are suffering. Let me make it known that my Great- grand father is Indian. We need more fairness and a new Government. Remove those money hungry Government and Someone who will be for the people. Me Guyana, You Guyana, land of many waters with only Indians benefiting from the resources in Guyana.

Britain should give The Faulklands to Guyana. nah...

The PPP is saying: "To hell with democracy!" Guyana is slowly sliding into anarchy. President David Granger is the Commander in Chief of the Arm Forces. President David Granger has the support of the overwhelming majority of voters that went to the polls. Yet, no one is shouting like me: "PUT THE COUNTY UNDER MILITARY RULE, MR. PRESIDENT!" ~ Ptah Maakhrw Ra Amen.

I love government.. oddly.. Idk, it is brilliant. It's also needed :D makes me think of chess.. I just, dislike money.. like, idk. I saw a video of someone who went to Kurgystan or something :D and hung out with the horse milk people. I know so little, about so many cultures.. but, they seemed happy :) the simple life.. Plus, they didn't need to worry about fuel :D Horses. They run on grass, and you just gotta brush'em and love them. idk. The modern era, is just bizarre :D interesting times to be alive :D

I am DANIEL,! king of the south vs king of the north!

Indo guyanese are still the largest population in guyana as of 2020

Guyana has a university?? Its true i have outed many Guyanese who say they are from the Caribbean, he didn't mantion that some have family history from Jamaica etc because of the workers who went to Panama canal and upon returning stayed enroute in the different countries?

Ok I am suggesting seems the two nation is making claim of terotery the should come together as partnership make deals for both nation to rise out of poverty make deals with the west to market crude not to go to war both nation are struggling we as the people need to live not to die over something non of those president put in the earth venezuelan citizen and Guyanese should call on both pre to a dialog of partnership not war tanyou Mr Lrs

I believe that the population of the Afro Guyanese and the Indo are about equal.

Esequibo belongs to Venezuela.

Cheddi creates the division and the ppp continues tje motto of the ppp Cheddi eas never good man a racist ask jagdeo who killed RODNEY THE SAY Burnham but Cheddi was and Always silent

USA do not like CIJ do not accept

The twisted absurdity of refusal to say that it was Dr Jagan that racially dividing Guyana. Wrong again they are more afro Guyanese than Indo Guyanese..
