Mark Anthony Rodrigues, who leads the Indigenous Peoples Delegation of Guyana, has publicly criticized the national government for the ongoing abandonment of hinterland regions. According to his recent statement, the administration is failing to address the needs of these remote areas. Furthermore, Rodrigues claims that political pressure is actively obstructing investigations into severe human rights violations reported in Region Nine and its vicinity. These accusations, brought forward by the organization established in April 2024, highlight concerns regarding the lack of accountability and the perceived influence of government officials on legal processes meant to protect vulnerable populations. The declaration serves as a formal call for attention to the systemic issues affecting indigenous communities in the country.
