CARIFESTA 2008 Guyana - a necessary boycott
Carifesta is for and about the people of this region; the ‘folk’ who remain the foundation and the driving forces of our collective nations. These are the unsung ones, who remember the solid values, the respect, the honesty and the simplicity. They make it their purpose, their raison d’etre to behave as true elders do, and bestow their knowledge and experience on the younger ones. As such, every time this region holds a Carifesta it is deepening its commitment to its people and reaffirming its understanding of the value and power of our collective cultures.
It was with great joy that we greeted the news that the Bahamas refused to host Carifesta 2008 and it was awarded to Guyana. However, given our ongoing Boycott Guyana 2008! campaign we’ve had to apply our boycott to this great cultural event as well.
We’ve encouraged our sister nations to pass on Carifesta 2008 and have provided and continue to provide perspective participants with necessary information on the soci0-political problems, rampant criminality, dangers and related issues on the ground in Guyana.
There will be many more moments to celebrate but at this time we encourage our friends and supporters to Boycott CARIFESTA 2008!
