  • Guyana and Venezuela are currently in a tense dispute over historical claims to the oil-rich Essequibo region. The longstanding controversy is reaching a critical point, raising the question of whether international arbitration can provide a resolution or if the situation will escalate into a full-blown military standoff.

    I am. an indegenous citizen of essequibo guyana.english is my second language.Schooled in the interior and this is my honest view on the border issue. The word "SETTLED" means settled. I learnt that in 1899 and 1966 the issue.was settled. Why are we still using word "dispute". Nothing should be in dispute.

    Unfairness or not, Venezuela agreed to the 1899 arbitration. And now waits over 100 years to reclaim territory, we all expiration dates and this claim expired in 1905. “You snoozed you” stop being a BIG BULLY Venezuela and focus on fixing your economy and do right for your people, they are suffering and need you to do that for them not waste money, time and energy on this case. And BTW you have more territory and oil than Guyana and still can’t get your act together.

    The border Wes setteled in 1899 and ratified in 1905. Venezuela acquired a great chunk of Guyana's terrority in 1899 up to the Orinoco River .we, the Guyanese people, are not giving up a blade of grass Essequibo belongs to Guyana historically,from the Dutch when they ceded the colony in 1814 to the British who granted independence in 05 26 .1966 ,to present Guyana. Venezuela has never administor Essequibo .This matter is before the ICJ. Guyana will abide by its ruling .Any misadventure by Venezuela to change the status quo of Guyana's terrorital integrity will not be tolerated by Guyana's international allies. Venezuelans need food, not Essequibo. Long live Guyana and its international allies. Essequibo belongs to Guyana.

    Guyana published its wrong maps world wide through lobbing with motherland england. Guyana also took a piece of land from suriname so they are known for taking land that is not theirs....and making trouble together with their mother land who has a serious track record of making trouble and leaving dangerous explosive situations behind here are a few examples :... india 🆚 Pakistan also china 🆚 (Hong kong) & Taiwan England vs argentina .......and sadly England watches how they fight each other in India and Pakistan and a war about to happen in China and Taiwan. Instead of saying ok things are tense and let's wait a little with our War ship..... nope let's go provoke the situation more....and that they did. As always desired , exactly the results they love ...they got more tension.... we don't need a war in South America. No young man need to lose blood on the lands of South America or lose their lives for some old fat belly people behind desk who stir up a fight and hate each other and having the Adrenaline thirst sending these young men as soldiers to die.... while testing their new weapons and selling wapens on credit while making money at the same time. (while doing so this will create a even bigger gap with a greater shortage of man for women and fathers for kids. ) We need to have judges from neutral countries to deal with the issues that are fair and willing to listen to all parties look into history and make judgment. Either Guyana gets all or they split it in half or Guyana gets none. 3 options. In a respectful and fair way.
    And back to being friends and neighbors
