Having lived in Guyana between 1965-1968 with my family, I am surprised that nothing about Mackenzie (now Linden) is mentioned. It was for decades a prosperous bauxite mining town.
The Afro Guyanese did not abandon the plantations after slavery to move to urban areas per se! The British passed laws BANNING former slaves from landownership win order to force them to depend on the former slave holders while at the same time they allowed indentured Indians to own land!! Hence the phrase "slave wages" referring to the extremely low wages offered to former slaves. As a result today we are experiencing the legacy of that land ownership issue. Unfortunately, we see the legacy of that everywhere East Indians were brought as indentured servants to replace the newly freed slaves. The bigger tragedy is that the African descendants of slavery do nothing to rectify that when they assume political power
The audacity of the West questioning the Guyanese people as to whether they could manage their own resources. They said the same thing of the African people. Even though the west managed most of their resources, African nations are still poor.
FYI The USA has more oil than all of South America combined. And now is a net exporter of Oil over the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Can you imagine when the US really takes the cap off. How much more Oil it can produce?
Yes, good question. As is everywhere the Multinational corporations come in and plunder the resources, while the common person sees little reward for this. Global problem. 😢
This information is not accurate, the Amerindian are the first people, they were found there by everyone who came, and are most of the times, the least attended to, which is very SAD!
Public comment transparency and accountability regarding audits all oil companies and stop crooks and loopholes. The oil contracts must re down properly insure guyana gets fair share of money worth for oil. Stop elegal border crossing and elegal mining and lugging. Stop elegal dumping toxic waste. Government must protect environment. Epa regulations must be inforce now. Stop flairing and pollution now.
Public comment. Guyana government is educated and understand the principles of governance and proper management in government including balancing economic growth and development..😂the true purpose.
Commonwealth member countries benefit from being part of a mutually supportive community of independent and sovereign states, aided by more than 80 Commonwealth organisations.
It is lucky for that ! Venezuela has tried to invade a couple of times due to the oil that was found. They have the weapons to take it over but as a commonwealth country they have tht promise to always be protected and the British navy has been going down guarding it as well . Are you guyanese...my parents are ...and they are proud of being a British colony
Be careful what you ask for, you might bite off more than you can chew. You have allowed the fools that ran your nation into the ground to deceive you! Everyone hates a bully but loves the David and Goliath sorry, and we all know how that greedy giant ended up! I think it has something to do with him losing his life and head. I think the commandments goes something like don't covet your neighbor's land or anything that belongs to you neighbor.

I thought i was only person saw this. ❤
Love this video. So accurate🇬🇾❤️

Not accurate. Oil was discovered long before 2019 . Not only the Chinese Indian have businesses . Emancipation day and there many more I can list .
My Guyana, put Guyana, put home. Ghana to Guyana
I’m considering moving to this country
Exciting! Thanks for watching.
Think about it
But it is a beautiful country to live in
Guyana is all Indigenous people L A N D first and foremost
Interesting🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾💯💯💯

All we politicians corrupt other than that we good
Who else here is from Trinidad and Tobago ?
“Guyana has discovered oil” America has entered the chat
Guyana is America
FYI The USA has more oil than all of South America combined. And now is a net exporter of Oil over the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Can you imagine when the US really takes the cap off. How much more Oil it can produce?
only Venezuela (the biggest oil reserves in the world) has more oil than USA, , get your facts right gringuito @@lisaroberts8556
@@piedrablanca1942 Guyana is not a America. Our mother country is Britain.

😂❤ wanderful looking for new please
Delighted to have you here. Keep watching, there’s more to come!
Yea but Portuguese came from Portugal not Brazil
@@Aiden-b5j the difference is location Portuguese in Guyana didn't come from Brazil
Historically you are correct, Portuguese came from Portugal. However, there are currently Brazilian immigrants in Guyana. Lots of Venezuelans too.
waterflass are a charakteristik of this country.
👍
Guyana was never conquered or colonised by the Spanish. Get it right
hi Donna
All country is beautiful how about asking the ordinary man about poverty rate in an oil rich guyana.
How about ask why is Guyana full of so much hate for there own people that they can't see themselves as one nation
Yes, good question. As is everywhere the Multinational corporations come in and plunder the resources, while the common person sees little reward for this. Global problem. 😢
Why don't you go to the states and see how much better you will be? You will be fleeing back to Guyana real quick.

This information is not accurate, the Amerindian are the first people, they were found there by everyone who came, and are most of the times, the least attended to, which is very SAD!
But he said they are indeginous.
They were to be the first people mentioned, if they were putting it in order!
He gave the peoples in Guyana in terms of their population percentage. In terms of first inhabitants, it would be as you said.
Here you go trying to call all the other groups immigrants because Americans often pull that shit out their asses when speaking of migrants
They are Asians (mullatoes of the San(brown) people of Africa who look Chinese )an they came after black people.
ESSQUIBO IS WE OWN
Definitely
dont learn to steal land like your former masters the filthy english
esequibo is venezuela's

No, South America is NOT a predominantly Spanish speaking continent because Portuguese (Brazil) is very close behind!

Why would a former colony be a member of the 'commonwealth '? .. isn't that like continuing to be colonized?
Commonwealth member countries benefit from being part of a mutually supportive community of independent and sovereign states, aided by more than 80 Commonwealth organisations.
The Commonwealth is an "old boys club" with no political power.
It is lucky for that ! Venezuela has tried to invade a couple of times due to the oil that was found. They have the weapons to take it over but as a commonwealth country they have tht promise to always be protected and the British navy has been going down guarding it as well . Are you guyanese...my parents are ...and they are proud of being a British colony
Afro Guyanese They left with the British or immigrated to North America, such as USA or Canada
And the uk
The same with many Indo Guyanese.
@@anthonywright9357 yes
didnt know it existed and assumed its in africa and im in africa
your thinking of ghana not guyana
The Esequibo is from Venezuela
MONEY?
Guyana is a very racist also even in the dam government
I just realized that being LGBTQI in Guyana can be a nightmare so you know what Have at it Venezuela take Essequibo
Please stay out of Guyana we don't need support from a poop tank
A guy that thinks he is a girl and HIS butt is made for sex have no credibility to make sober decisions especially of this magnitude
And the Esequibo Región Belongs To Venezuela
Y su madre!

ESSEQUIBO territory gat strong Oil for u back yard
😮 of course it belongs to Venezuela and Venezuelans are tired of waiting 200 years for a Court hearing. Time is over.
