At a trying time like this, we wish the nation was not plunged into mourning. But when lives of our servicemen are lost while defending our country we are once again shaken to the core and the moments of silence must linger with no time of expiration. This is a nation that is constantly in mourning but at a time like this when we are under threat by neighbouring nation Venezuela, this blow is incredibly devastating.
At a fragile time like this we must stand strong but are still buckling at the knees in this time of worry and hope in Guyana. With hands, envious and greedy reaching from all directions to claim our beautiful land and its resources, the people must once again write phrases like “so sad”, “rest in peace” and “sincere condolences”.
When we heard news about servicemen lost in the bordering region with Venezuela, it concerned us. In a time like this, when tensions are high, speculations in whispers and shouts reach our ears and it is up to us to filter the facts from the rumours while relying on credible news sources to keep us informed. The nation does not need to be burdened with additional worry and fearmongering. But still, the truth needs to be heard so the people know exactly what we are facing.
