Kaieteu News – Peeping Tom’s article, titled “Nationalize the Oil Blocks” (KN 12.11.20),quite rightly points out that “neither Cheddi Jagan nor Forbes Burnham would have allowed the country’s oil wealth to have been hijacked by the oil companies and by individuals who are acting as front men for political charlatans.” The Peeper was also right…

Organization for the Victory of the People (OVP) opposes US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo’s visit to Guyana at this time because we believe that the primary purpose of his visit is to persuade the PPP regime to allow Guyana to be used as a base to attack our western neighbour, Venezuela. Already the US…
The Organization for the Victory of the People (OVP) is calling on every Guyanese citizen to take responsibility for the terrible state of affairs that led to the savage killings of Isaiah and Joel Henry and Haresh Singh. In the words of Martin Carter, “all are involved, all are consumed”. Instead of pointing the finger,…
On behalf of the National Directorate and members of OVP (Organization for the Victory of the People), I wish to remind the Country Manager of ExxonMobil in Guyana, Alistair Routledge, that we are the descendants of Indigenous peoples; survivors of genocide, the Trans-Atlantic Trade in Captured Africans; survivors of a holocaust, and Indentureship; survivors of…
The People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) recently announced list of parliamentarians is eerily reminiscent of the class character of certain organizations of yesteryear, namely the Manpower Citizens’ Association, the National Democratic Party and the League of Coloured People.

On behalf of OVP, I salute those who painted the words “BLACK LIVES MATTER” on the road in front of the monument honouring the great 1763 Revolution. It is a creative and profoundly symbolic way for Guyanese to join in the call of the already historic BLM Movement in a meaningful way, especially in the…
What we commemorated this past Tuesday, May 26th, 2020, was ‘formal independence’. A shell without any substance, what Ugandan revolutionary activist and writer, Chango Machyow’Obanda refers to as ‘sham independence’. In 1966, after years of struggle, we obtained our own flag and national anthem, but little else. Forbes Burnham, like Kwame Nkrumah before him, realized…
De facto Minister of Health, Volda Lawrence, is worried because of the number of deaths in Guyana as a result of COVID 19. However, the 99% in Guyana already expected this outcome, because for as long as we can remember, our public healthcare system has been wanting. All of us have family and/or friends that…
If the events that followed the March 2 General and Regional Elections, coupled with the present COVID 19 outbreak, do not motivate us as Guyanese to pull together for what may be the very survival of our people and nation-state, then I think we can say that nothing will. Real leaders, whose only aim is…
As we said in an earlier press release, we in OVP are truth warriors and can never join with those who are spreading inaccurate information and lies. We fight for truth, justice and human dignity, not wealth and power. We are leaders not followers. The truth can be a bitter pill, but perhaps this is…
