consult with every facet of the Guyanese society and that groups for consultation must not only be selected by the US Embassy, which some believe has demonstrated bias towards the African Guyanese population and opposition supporters.<\/p>\n<p>CGID said the mission must travel to rural communities and speak directly with Guyanese from all walks of life.<\/p>\n<p>Over half of Guyana&#8217;s population believes that the Biden Administration&#8217;s policies are enabling the PPP regime\u2019s march to establish Guyana as an East Indian apartheid, ethnocratic autocracy in which African Guyanese are second class citizens.<\/p>\n<p>We in the diaspora refuse to accept this state of affairs.
