The United States of America (USA) is set to play a major role alongside local law enforcement agencies as the government of Guyana looks at a comprehensive way to tackle the scourge of crime which has gripped the society.
Minister of State, Joseph Harmon confirmed that the State will be receiving aid from the US in the form of training sessions and capacity enhancement initiatives.
“We are receiving help, international help…there is a training programme going on now with the police, with some foreign law enforcement agencies, that are assisting in the training and capacity building of the police force and crime scene investigations and matters of that nature,†said Harmon.
I reckon this is a good way to fight crime and show it is not way to oppress the common people in the country, and may be a wake up call to the ones who are doing it or even thinking of doing this sort of act. I think this is a good thing that the the USA is getting involved with what is happening in this country, and may bring trust and also confidence as well in the hearts of the people in the long run. There may be trade and also a politicial reason this relationship is occurring and hope it works for the best in the end and we see a partnership of some sort between the two countries.

In Dominican Republic, Granada, Nicaragua, Panama, Chile .., thousands! How many saved?†questioned the Venezuelan leader at the extraordinary meeting of the Political Council of Alba Trade Treaty of the Peoples (TCP) that took place at Caracas House. The statement was made in contrast with international organizations such as ALBA, Petrocaribe, UNASUR, CARICOM, which he said are essential parts of “another world already born†for a new reality of the twenty-first century. Likewise, Maduro said that “the oligarchy†has activated plans to “harass progressive and revolutionary processes, to try to destroy them.â€
“I say this from Venezuela,†he added. “I have evidence of how the Southern Command has placed key officials in the US embassy in Venezuela to head the vulture plan to sabotage the economy of violence.†He noted that in the coming days a special Venezuelan commission will be installed with the government US to present the evidence. “They want these sabotage attempts to end in coups…I am sure of that, things point to there if you look at the brutality with which they attack, coordinating criminal gangs, attacking the economy from the inside, from the outside, attacking the people, generating groups of the extreme right,†Maduro claim. These conspiracies, the Venezuelan leader stressed, must be tackled head on.[/size][/color]
