As the tributes for Janet Jagan get more and more superfluous--history would describe her as the greatest woman who has ever walked the soil of Guyana!!!--this Stabroek News piece on Jagdeo's attempts to control the media seems a rather apt way to put the portrayal of a prominent political figure in Guyana in perspective.
And from this end, The New York Times describes Janet Jagan as a Chicago native who led Guyana, and recalls the role of the US in Guyana's politics during the 1950s and 1960s, one of Jagan's notable periods of activism in Guyana.
Rest in Peace Janet Jagan.
