GEORGETOWN, Guyana — Guyanese President Dr Irfaan Ali has warned that the rising military tension between Venezuela and the United States (US) could destabilize the region and challenge his country’s sovereignty.
Speaking during a public meeting late Friday, Ali said it is clear that only strong and experienced leadership can safely navigate the country through this turbulent period and that “this is not a time for weak leadership”.

He told the crowd that intelligence from Guyana’s strategic partnerships has already exposed the presence of criminal enterprises and networks that are linked to destabilization efforts in the region.
President Ali said Guyana must be able to make decisions with maturity, respect and credibility.
“These decisions are not easy. They require experience, they require international presence, and our sovereignty, our national security, our existence, our livelihood and our country must be prepared to work in this new environment,” he said. (CMC)
