RAD­HI­CA DE SIL­VA

Ac­tivists and mi­grant ad­vo­cates are call­ing on the gov­ern­ment to ex­tend the on­go­ing mi­grant reg­is­tra­tion process, warn­ing that many in­dige­nous mi­grants — par­tic­u­lar­ly mem­bers of the Warao com­mu­ni­ty are at risk of be­ing left out due to a lack of doc­u­men­ta­tion and lim­it­ed ac­cess to in­for­ma­tion.

As the fi­nal day of on­line reg­is­tra­tion came to a close, al­most 100 in­dige­nous mi­grants gath­ered in the Moru­ga Great Hall to com­plete their on­line reg­is­tra­tion, with more trav­el­ling from South Trinidad and as far as Ari­ma.
