DEAREDITOR, 1953isayearcelebrated in Guyanese History as an annusmirabilis.
It was a time when the nation was overcome with a euphoria generated by the complete racial, religious, social and political unity under the leadership of Dr Cheddi Jagan, Janet Jagan andMr.LFSBurnhamanda numberofothersnotsowell known such as Eusi Kwayana and Jodha Samaroo who presided over theClericalandCommercial WorkersUnion. Peoplelook back to this time with nostalgia.
At the beginning of 1950’s, Guyana was sucked into the Cold War and the
Cold Warriors were bent on the destruction of this GuyaneseUnity
The strategy they used was to subvert the People’s Progressive Party under whose aegis the national unity was consolidated and the tactic they used was to cause defections among the Party’sleadership.
They succeeded all too well and by 1957, the Party wasbroken.
ThemainreasontheCold Warriors succeeded was because the national unity was brought about by the leaders.ThecycleofHistory has again come around and theGuyanesenationisagain beingunifiedbutthistime,it is not a unity brought about by the leaders, it is a unity broughtaboutbythePeople.
People are inexorably moving towards achieving that desired unity and are passing by the daily harangues and calls of a few has-beenpoliticiansthatthey should be racialists. These racists’ dog whistles are ignored as the People move forward to recreate the PPP of1953.
The nation is now moving into First World Statusinitssocial,economic and political life and achievingunbreakableunity, prosperity, peace and Democracy
