In a proactive move to raise awareness and educate the public on the ongoing border controversy between Guyana and Venezuela, members of the Joint Services in Region 9 embarked on a sensitization exercise in the town of Lethem. The initiative, which unfolded yesterday, involved the distribution of informative flyers aimed at providing citizens with a better understanding of the geopolitical situation.
The sensitization effort in Lethem is the start of a comprehensive campaign, under the direction of Police Divisional Commander Senior Superintendent Rose, Deputy Commander Region 9 DSP Ally, and Lieutenant Watts. The distribution of educational materials seeks to ensure that residents are well-informed about Venezuela’s aggressive posture towards Guyana and the broader implications of the border dispute.
This outreach is not confined to Lethem alone; plans are in place to extend the sensitization exercise to encompass all villages and communities within the Upper Takutu/Upper Essequibo region. The goal is to engage citizens and foster situational awareness, enabling them to make informed decisions and understand the nuances of the geopolitical tensions at hand.
The initiative reflects a collaborative effort by the Joint Services to keep the public abreast of developments, promoting an informed and vigilant community. By engaging with residents at the grassroots level, the campaign aims to create a well-informed populace equipped with the knowledge necessary to navigate and respond to any challenges arising from the border controversy.
As tensions persist, initiatives like these play a vital role in ensuring that citizens are not only aware of the geopolitical landscape but also actively involved in maintaining peace and stability within their communities. The Joint Services remain committed to fostering an environment where citizens are informed and empowered to contribute positively to the region’s overall security.
