Horrified that Guyana did not vote on Cuba debate at UN

By

Dear Editor,

Subsequent to a letter I dispatched earlier yesterday dealing with the United Nations vote to debate the United States blockade against Cuba, I was horrified to learn that my Guyana did not vote. 

At the United Nations there are three buttons available to delegates, the green indicates support for the motion, the red button indicates opposition, and the yellow button indicates abstention. I must assume that my country’s representative is either colour blind or suffered an acute case of arthritis or paralysis of the hands, or had an acute case of diarrhea and could not make it to his or her seat when the vote was being taken. 

Sincerely, 

Elder Hamilton Green

You reached the end of this article without encountering a paywall.

That is deliberate. We believe reliable journalism about Guyana should be available to everyone from the hinterland to the coast, including those who cannot afford to pay for it. But investigating, reporting and publishing every story takes time, energy and resources. Keeping our journalism open depends on the commitment of readers who can chip in and contribute to help cover the cost for everyone.

Please join the Kiskadee family by taking a subscription. Every contribution counts to our commitment to our journalists, to our readers, and to independent, public-interest journalism.

And please spread the word. One one dutty build dam!
