Following Saturday night’s capsizing of MV Barima off the Essequibo Coast, solidarity and support from Guyana’s bilateral allies around the world continue to pour in.

On Wednesday, the United States Deputy Secretary of State, Christopher Landau, extended his most sincere condolences to the Government and people of Guyana over the “terrible” ferry accident.

“We in the US share in your loss and mourning. May God bless those who lost their lives, the survivors, and their families and friends,” the US State Department official said in a social media post.
