Just got the news that 13 and possibly more Guyanese were killed in Bartica after an assault on Bartica, a town located down the Essiquibo river at the confluence of the Mazaruni and Cuyuni rivers by bandits who attacked the police station and terrorized the town straffing it with bullets. (See http://www.stabroeknews.com/index.pl/article_general_news?id=56539330) Among those killed were 3 policemen and a number of ordinary citizens. This comes at the heels of the Lusignan massacre where 11 people were killed including 5 children. It seems that there is now zero security and the politically motivated measures to deal with the crime situation are all now a joke as it criminalized and entire community with the destruction of lands on which they made their living. I had said before, bandits don't care what the politics are or anything. All that matters to them is getting what they want and getting who is in their way out. Clearly we're seeing that the bandits are declaring that they can go anywhere in Guyana they wish and do what they like. Meanwhile the government remains paralyzed, locked in their game of politics while the people of Guyana are killed like lambs to the slaughter.
