In a previous article, we explained how President Ali had asked President Lula of Brazil around November 19, 2023 to dissuade Nicolas Maduro from holding his December 3 referendum aimed at annexing the Essequibo county by force.

The Guyana Government, lacking a competent military, is relying on diplomatic strength to tide Guyana over this situation.
