RAT EATING IN THE CARIBBEAN, AFRICA AND THE WORLD

OK! Let’s not say rats. Let’s say rodents, if that makes anyone feel better. After all, it’s hard to stomach thoughts of ingesting creatures generally considered as dirty, destructive and prone to spread terrible diseases. Our resentments are generally for the "true rats," members of the genus Rattus. The ones that normally invade our lives are the black rat, Rattus rattus, and the brown rat, Rattus norvegicus. However, other rodents are also called rats and share many characteristics with true rats.

The Guyana Story

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PPP

Guyana’s Ambassador to Venezuela

The 1948 sugar strike provided invaluable organizational experience for the PAC. By holding meetings with workers of different ethnic backgrounds in various parts of the country, it saw the increasing need to bring and keep all the ethnic groups together under its umbrella. The membership also decided to step up the plans to organize a disciplined political party to champion the cause of all the people of Guyana. Thus, in 1949, the PAC, which was now much expanded in terms of membership, but which no longer included Jocelyn Hubbard, began serious discussions for the formation of the political party which would champion the cause of the Guyanese masses at all times.
