Alliance For Change’s Statement
AFC Stands Resolutely in Support of the Defence of Guyana’s Territorial Integrity
The Alliance For Change condemns, in strongest possible terms, the barefaced show of force exhibited by Venezuela [Saturday, March 1], when it’s navy vessel entered Guyana’s territorial waters and brandished its lawlessness.
There is absolutely no doubt that the area where the Liza offshore well, and the supporting vessels and infrastructure lie, are well within Guyana’s territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zone. Just a few short days ago, our soldiers were ambushed, and today, the navy patrol boat was used to intimidate and threaten those on the Liza Prosperity. This lawless and reckless behaviour must be called out for what it is. It will be confronted.
The AFC stands in solidarity with the Government and armed forces of Guyana and calls on every Guyanese to stand ready to engage and defend against any attempt to violate our sovereignty.
