   Suriname also has a border dispute with Guyana.
   If the Venezuelan government of Nicolás Maduro decides tomorrow to annex the Essequibo area following a military action following a referendum, the Guyanese will be faced with a taste of their own medicine. The Venezuelans have been claiming the Essequibo area for decades, because they assume that during the colonial administration of the British – in what is now called Guyana – the aforementioned area was confiscated by the German Robert Hermann Schomburgk by drawing up false maps. . Venezuela was certainly no match for the British militarily at that period, so the area was added to Guyana. It must be clear that the British also wanted a so-called foothold on the mainland of South America. On our side too, the British have done everything they can to steal territory from the other colonizers in the North Sea. The fact that part of present-day Guyana also belonged to the colony of Suriname can still be deduced from the Dutch names in certain places. But it was the same Robert Hermann Schomburgk who ascended the Corentijn and also after this journey drew up a false map for the British, in which he indicated that the Coeroeni Cutari was the upper course of the Corantijn River. He had not seen the truly much larger stream of water that we call the Upper Corantijn. Later, upon further investigation by the British Barrington Brown, the Upper Corantijn – which he called the New River – turned out to be the real upper course, creating the so-called Tigri Delta, located between Coeroeni, Cutari, Upper Corantijn and the Acarai Mountains, without there was no doubt that it should be regarded as Surinamese territory. However, the British wanted nothing to do with Barrington Brown's findings. In 1969, before our political independence, President Forbes Burnham of Guyana, which became independent in 1966, decided to occupy the Tigri Delta by means of military force. As is known, the Netherlands, which still had to defend Suriname as a part of the empire, did not intervene. Due to this annexation and the violent actions of Guyana, Suriname still has a border dispute with that country, just like Venezuela has with the Guyanese over the Essequibo area. The Guyanese government is now screaming bloody murder and is seeking support all over the world against a possible Venezuelan attack to take over the area militarily, but Suriname should absolutely not side with Guyana when it comes to the Essequibo issue. Guyana has occupied part of our territory since 1969, and does everything if the area belongs to it. We may be part of the English-speaking club CARICOM, which immediately supported Guyana, but we have been robbed by the Guyanese for more than 54 years. They have taken our territory hostage with military force and we should not accept that for a moment and certainly should not side with them when it concerns the Essequibo issue between Venezuela and the Guyanese. The fact that the Venezuelans now want to take back the area, if necessary with the use of the much stronger Venezuelan army, of course has everything to do with the large oil and natural gas reserves that have been discovered off the coast of the aforementioned area. This border dispute could have enormous consequences for security in our area, which can be described as the Guyanas. An area that runs from the Orinoco to the Oyapock. It is understandable that Venezuela may wish to use military resources. Isn't that what the Guyanese did to us in 1969, when The Hague did everything it could to get the police unit out of the Tigri area and was under former officer Lapre. The Netherlands did not want to have trouble with NATO partner Great Britain, that was clear at the time. But we now live in the 21st century and must not forget that we have a Ukraine and a Gaza, where major powers commit actions that can cause changes within geopolitics, including on our continent, when business and major financial interests come into play. This is about oil, that's what it was about in Iraq too. We can always talk about green energy and electric cars, but oil is still of great and survival importance for most economies and that is why the Venezuelan-Guyanese border conflict can still cause a lot of trouble for all of us. And especially if world powers get involved. Is oil a blessing or a curse? Unfortunately, this will also be expressed or expressed in this region.

   The host on the Boomberg Television asked respectfully some questions that Guyana President Ali has tactfully answered…He is confident and I believe God has blessed him with wisdom and guidance to speak unequivocally clear about his intentions to continue to live in Peace, Harmony , LOVE with Venezuela and all in the world…He is a President who is passionate about the Human race….

   I am so disgusted with this foolishness. Whose Flag is that in his background? That is not the color of Guyana's Flag. How can y'all, Guyanese, allow that to be. The colors of our Golden Arrow Head is very significant. Mr President please make sure that the original colors of our Golden Arrow Head be maintained.
   THE RIGHT COLORS MATTER!

   One hundred percent guyana is Venezuelan's as it is Belize Guatemalan's, Mayan Natives and Venezuelan people, and their piramides and culture are proofs.
   Separated from imperialistas and capitalistas for their costs and beaches for their own benefits, not for their people that do not have access to their oceans.

    Why are they pressuring Guyana to concede its international territorital rights to concede its sovereignity which it has had for over 100 years. The grabbimg of land for its resources by stronger states had become a disease that must be eradicated. There is nothing to negotiate. Guyana must adk the USA to protect it from bullies like Maduro.

    At Thursday meeting the Peace Dividend must be advanced. Venezuela has the largest reserves of oil in South America and catching up is Guyana. Surely the economic benefits of drawing the border and settling it through the Geneva Agreement will be worth more economically than any other measure which will pave the way for future stability and growth plus the scope for greater cooperation between both countries. President Ali must present these benefits to President Maduro in a way that he can take back to his supporters and claim a win.
