Freddie Kissoon justifies violent anti-government struggle of which Indo-Guyanese are often the victims.


Freddie Kissoon

In his Kaieteur News column today titled “I am not losing it, Khemraj!”, as a response to Khemraj Ramjattan's plea for non violent anti-government struggle in Guyana, columnist Freddie Kissoon wrote:

"It is outside the scope of this short viewpoint to theorize on the role of violence in liberation and the struggle for justice. But the positive role of violence in the history of struggle has been adequately documented over the past two thousand years.
Violence has to be contextualized. No philosophical treatise on justice would denounce the use of violence in the endeavour to free people from bondage."

And i'm sure we all know which ethnic group in Guyana has been the target of political violence during these "liberation struggles". Just flash your minds back at Lusignan and Bartica massacres.

  1. For the first time im actually seeing Freddie making some sense with this article where he is right that everytime there is a political struggle the violence that the opposition comes with that the indo-guyanese are the ones that is being hurt or the victim
