Guyana's Untapped Potential: How This Small Nation Could Rise to Greatness

But who is the owner of such a massive oil field? Well, it’s a country you most likely haven’t ever heard of before.

History is relevant. Because Venezuela was the CIA capital of South America, the oil potential of Guyana, known in the 60s, was put off until the USA had beef with Venezuela. The timing was great, too. Timing was great too. Like every oil producing company, government corrutibility was at its highest then.

You expect to get rich overnight? The government is doing the right thing, i.e., developing the country's infracture, by building roads, bridges, 12 new hospitals, etc. They are also diversifying the economy by investing in aquaculture (fish and shrimp farming), sheep farming, soya and other crops that can easily be grown in Guyana. You cannot expect overnight change, but if you live in Guyana, you would definitely notice the change in standard of living for most Guyanese. The country is progressing nicely under the current government.

Neither fishy nor fake. Geography. Whether or not there are significant oil fields off the coasts of Suriname or French Guiana, this large field was discovered in Guyana's coastal territory. As someone already pointed out, Suriname has oil fields though not as extensive. Since French Guiana is part of the country of France, it would probably fall primarily upon the French to explore further there if desired. I'm happy for Guyana!

We liberated not only our territories but also liberated 5 nations further. Your video is a provocation and you spread biased news out of context. Our constitution guarantees territorial integrity and if it is not this government, another one in the future will be in charge of enforcing it.
