		Guyana moved from state socialism and one-party control to a market economy and unrestricted freedom of the press and assembly.

		The urban/rural split between the Africans (descendants of the original slaves) and Asians is reflected in the main divisions between Guyana’s two main political parties – the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), which draws predominantly Indian support, and the People’s National Congress (PNC), formed in 1957 as a mainly ethnic African breakaway from the PPP.
		A major obstacle to Guyana’s future economic progress is a shortage of trained personnel, especially in the fields of management and technical expertise; the emigration rate remains high, and only serves to compound this long-term problem.
		When Columbus reached the northern coast of South America at the beginning of the 16th century, the area that is now Guyana was inhabited by two distinct groups, the Arawak who lived along the coast and the Carib who lived in the interior.
