Provide aid to Guyanese in Venezuela who want to return here

By Staff Editor Sun, July 19 2026, 2:01 AM GMT-4

Dear Editor,

CRG extends condolences to the families of those affected by the recent earthquakes in Venezuela. It is good to see that the members of Caricom have stood together in solidarity with our neighbours and have provided aid to those affected by this natural disaster. CRG encourages the government of Guyana to also provide assistance to those who desperately want to return to their homeland to help in the rebuilding process. We should also encourage the Venezuelan military to extend their hand in peace so they can also leave our borders and provide the support desperately needed by the Venezuelan people at this time of crisis.

With condolences,

Mr. Jamil Changlee

Chairman

The Cooperative Republicans of Guyana

That is deliberate. We believe reliable journalism about Guyana should be available to everyone from the hinterland to the coast, including those who cannot afford to pay for it. But investigating, reporting and publishing every story takes time, energy and resources. Keeping our journalism open depends on the commitment of readers who can chip in and contribute to help cover the cost for everyone.
