Descripción

Guyana’s oil boom hasn’t brought the prosperity it promised—despite pumping over $100 billion in oil, the national debt has exploded from $1.7 billion to over $10 billion. While the country once earned under $1.5 billion annually from gold, rice, and timber, today’s wealth is vanishing as dollars dwindle and businesses struggle to pay overseas bills. A nationwide protest tried to halt this slide, but cash grants funded by loans are being celebrated—leaving many to wonder if Guyana is headed down the same path as Venezuela or other resource-rich nations where extraction fuels debt, not growth.

Three Cousins Remembered in Tragedy | Guyana News

Three young cousins, Viviana, Rubina, and Akeela, lost their lives in the tragic MV Barima incident, with their two-year-old cousin Vince still missing. Their funeral at Parika Salem Primary School drew a community in mourning, as family members shared tender memories of their vibrant spirits — Akeela, the loving daughter who brought joy home; Rubina, the family’s cherished heart; and Viviana, the gentle elder whose quiet presence lingered deeply. Four other cousins survived the disaster, leaving behind a community shattered by grief. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

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.
