Beskrivelse

The search for victims of the MV Barima capsizing has expanded to 32 additional square miles, with 17 state assets including aircraft and boats working around the clock. Seventy-three bodies have been recovered, 69 identified. Crews are clearing debris to prep for potential vessel righting, though murky waters slow progress. No new bodies found in latest dives, but officials hope righting the 1938 ferry may yield more discoveries. Delays in Port Kaituma upgrades forced the older ferry to remain in service, and questions linger over its changing certified capacity. The government vows to enforce safety rules, with an inquiry pending to recommend reforms. A specialized vessel aided recovery before returning to Georgetown. Cabinet skipped a formal meeting to focus on search, recovery, and funerals. An independent inquiry will follow recovery’s end. The Prime Minister rejected calls for ministerial resignations, noting such decisions rest with the President, and framed the crisis as a national recovery effort.

Guyana's First Medal at the Games | Guyana News

Guyana just etched its name in history at the Central American and Caribbean Games as Taekwondo star Ceili Peterson claimed the nation’s first-ever medal — a hard-fought bronze in the women’s under-49kg division. Downing Venezuela’s Yulienny Pedraza in straight sets, Peterson, who also carried the flag, showed resilience after a tough semifinal loss to Colombia, bouncing back with a dominant performance. Her entire delegation — from Chef de Mission to coach Carlos Blanco and fellow athletes — rallied behind her, turning the moment into a national celebration. But for Peterson, this is just the beginning; she’s already eyeing gold at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, with her coach calling her one of the most dedicated athletes he’s ever worked with. This bronze is more than a medal — it’s the spark for something even bigger. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
