      IAs a Guyanese I appreciate what you would rather. But as a Guyanese, I would rather that our Venezuelan friends denounce this blatant bullying instigated by one man who is stirring up external trouble because of his failed local policies. Stirring up external trouble to gain local patriotic support so that the dictatorship remains in control.

      ​@@OszieDe Yeah, I completely get what you mean, this has been some kind of power move to try and regain support in our country since the 60s, but in reality we haven't controlled that territory ever in our history, the spanish did way before our independence and the dutch took it from them, Venezuela just inherited the claim for a territory dispute that was never theirs to make.

      The curse of oil has already negatively affected Guyana. The only reason Venezuela is even thinking of taking over Guyana is entirely due to oil. There is almost no reason to bother invading Guyana otherwise. And the issue with the 'curse of oil' doesnt happen when its first discovered, its what the country does with it long term. Very few countries have successfully overcome this, and those few countries either have a very solid government that already has very little corruption, or just has so much oil/gas money per citizen that they really cant 'lose'.

    Guyana should nationalize its oil resources and establish a sovereign wealth fund, just as Norway did in the 1950s. Private oil companies are exploiting Guyana, and the country has not yet benefited from the oil boom. Moreover, the new sources of income should be invested wisely, particularly in the military, as Venezuela is becoming increasingly aggressive and may attempt to attack.

    There is likely also heaps of natural gas in the Guyanese deep interior. The indigenous peoples used to call the bubbling pits a Dutchman's grave or some such thing. Complete inaccessibility in the unforgiving jungle, low NG prices and the distraction of looking for gold made everyone lose interest in any gas deposits. It might be worth looking into it now.

      @@dominiqueallums-farley6704 "The indigenous have" a plurality of voices and opinions and distinct interests unsurprisingly. Just like any other community they should be consulted to have their say about their future. They aren't an odd type of giraffe or antelope that need the presumptive advocacy of distant minds to think and speak on their behalf until they seek any such special consultation.
      They have access to their own radio broadcasts to reach each other and communicate with the broader world.
      There was (perhaps there still is) a scheme whereby Guyana was paid a large sum by a global sponsor agent to leave a special area of the hinterland undeveloped because it contained an isolated unique world habitat with unique species if I recall. That seems like a hopeful and realistic model going forward.

If it goes goes to Venezuela, it will hit the market very much under OPECs influence. So if you’re not enthusiast about the Americans getting this well considered the alternative. Because it’s going to be one of those.
