Dear Editor, While some observers framed the recent meeting between Guyana’s main opposition entities—A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and We Invest in Nationhood (WIN)—as a sudden political rapprochement, the reality points toward a calculated strategy centred on mutual political survival and optics rather than a convergence of core ideologies.

On August 1st, Kiskadee Watch reported that ExxonMobil’s Chief Financial Officer Neil Hansen had disclosed in an interview the day before with Reuters that its joint venture here had recovered the US$55b it had invested to develop the Stabroek Block and that as a consequence Guyana would now receive more oil money.
