NY NGO expresses solidarity over ferry mishap

Dear Editor, The New York based not for profit NGO, Guyana Democracy Project (GDP), in a statement on July 20, expressed profound shock and sorrow over the MV Barima mishap in the Atlantic just off the coast of Essequibo that has taken many precious lives besides the loss of the vessel itself and many vehicles and valuable cargo.

Decisive action on ferry tragedy

It is quite possible that the bereaved families of the victims of Saturday’s catastrophic capsizing of the MV Barima are comforted in some way by the three days of mourning announced by the government, the candlelight vigils it has organized across the country and the attendance of senior ministers at burials even if the relatives of some deceased are still missing.
