GEORGETOWN, Guyana – A cloud of uncertainty hangs over the future of Guyana’s energy independence tonight as opposition leader Azruddin Mohamed has raised the alarm over an alleged critical pipeline rupture, questioning the government’s silence and the potential environmental catastrophe that could be unfolding just two miles off the country’s coast.

Speaking in a video posted on social media, Mohamed disclosed that the 140-mile pipeline, a cornerstone of the nearly US$3 billion Gas-to-Energy project, has been ruptured for approximately three months. The revelation has sparked concern and urgent questions about the project’s management, the safety of the nation’s marine life, and the integrity of a venture touted as the key to powering Guyana’s future.

The government of Guyana must step forward and deny or explain the particulars of this matter.
