Some are entrenching the ethno-political divide in Guyana

Dear Editor,

I have discerned a certain trend, that is attributable to public influencers such as some media, some social media influencers, some public commentators, politicians and even civil society organisations, that is worrying, and reflects and entrenches the ethno-political divide in Guyana.

While, there is glaring and undeniable evidence that the Hero’s Highway does not traverse the path of the demolished home, commercial and farm steads in Mocha-Arcadia, and similarly that Adrianne’s body was not in the pool immediately, and for sometime, after her disappearance, there are those who continue to peddle the opposite narrative.

This is the trend of disinformation to which I am referring. It clearly represents a predisposition to the socio-political scenario in Guyana, which establishes, reflects and hardens the divide that afflicts our society, and erodes the basis for unity, development and nation building.

Unless, the perpetrators of this ill revert to clean hands in their discourse and public pronouncements about things in Guyana, they will be a source of the very problem that they implicitly, if not explicitly, infer that they are addressing.

Yours truly,

Vincent Alexander
