OP-ED: We Are Being Ruled by a Cabal of Villains, Let’s Take our Country Back!

Fellow Guyanese,

We are a people under siege, not by a foreign invader, not by a force of nature, but by our own so-called government. The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has long unmasked itself as a manifestly dishonest, deceitful, abusive, and corrupt cabal of elites who despise the very country they claim to serve. The daily stress, the suffocating pressure, the helplessness that so many of us feel, those are not coincidences. They are the symptoms of living under the rule of a government that is actively and systematically bleeding this nation dry.

THE UNFINISHED WORK OF INDEPENDENCE

This regime has no love for Guyana. Not an ounce. Their false slogans, “One Guyana” being the most grotesque among them, are nothing more than psychological warfare, a gaslighting campaign meant to silence dissent and suppress our national grief. This isn’t unity. It’s enforced conformity. It’s political theater staged by men who have no interest in building a nation, only in building their bank accounts and cementing their power.

We live in an oil-rich country, yet our people are starving. We are told to be grateful for GDP growth, but we can’t send our children to school. We’re drowning in natural wealth, but the average Guyanese can’t afford food, housing, or healthcare. This is not failure. This is design. Billions flow through our economy, and yet it never touches the people. The PPP funnels it into the hands of their cronies. They steal with impunity while the rest of us are forced to beg for scraps.

How much money do you want, PPP? How many luxury cars, properties, off-the-books contracts, and under-the-table deals will be enough for you? What is your endgame, complete national ruin?

The abuses go far beyond theft. There is the ever-growing list of extrajudicial killings, our brothers and sons executed in the streets without trial, without justice. There is the compromise of every so-called independent institution in this nation. The Guyana Elections Commission, the judiciary, the police, the media, whether compromised or cowardly, most are no longer neutral, no longer independent. Most are puppets. Their strings lead back somehow to Freedom House.

And let’s not ignore the racism and ethnic bias that infect the bones of this administration. This government leads with division. They manipulate race as a weapon of control, as a tool to stoke fear and suppress solidarity. But mark these words; the fire they are lighting will one day burn them too, because no tyranny lasts forever.

They accuse everyone of “playing politics” as if it were a crime for citizens to speak the truth. But we must speak. We must scream. We must resist. Because if we remain silent now, our children will inherit a nation carved up and hollowed out by monsters.

Guyana will never thrive under this wickedness. Not under these villains.

This is our moment. We must put aside fear. We must put aside tribal loyalty. We must put aside the illusion of patience. And we must stand, together, to defeat the most dangerous enemy our democracy has ever known, a corrupt, ruthless, and godless regime that feeds on our suffering.

If we fail to act, there will be no hope for our children.

Let’s end the silence. Let’s name the evil. Let’s take our country back.
