Dear Editor,
It certainly seems to be ramping up to be a high stake drama, almost like a tug-o-war, following the forced removal of the President and the staking of claims of who will run the country.
On the one hand the bold assertion by the aggressor that the country will be run until such time as a ‘safe, judicious transition’ could take place… while at the other end of the tape the Supreme Court has ordered the VP be sworn-in as acting president. In the midst of this is the ‘hour of freedom had come’ claim by the ‘OL leader’ who seem to think it was automatic, her party assuming government. She was rudely awakened to the harsh reality that she doesn’t have the support or respect within. Is this because she is a woman that it would be ‘very tough for her? Or does it have to do with the elusive prize?
The battle lines have been drawn. Is the prize still in the fray as it was dedicated to the aggressor? It is difficult to see how the ‘OL’ could think her party could assume government when it was not declared the winner of the elections. The VP has to act until such time as new elections are held. This is where the focus should be once the dust settles. The burning question though should outside influence be allowed to seize and control a sovereign state? Memories of Grenada rushes to mind.
