Justice will not bring back the lives of those lost but it is imperative that we do not allow this to happen again. If regulations must be written in blood then let us write them now.

The victims and families deserves justice. The government needs to hold accountability and be fully transparent with the information pertaining to the cause of this tragedy, they must acknowledge their lack of maintenance and oversight.

A justice system that cannot account everyone, including those that govern it is a failed justice system

The MV Barima is no longer simply a sunken vessel. It is the scene of a national tragedy.
It may also be the final resting place of victims whose families deserve every reasonable effort to recover their loved ones. Beyond that profound humanitarian obligation, the wreck itself almost certainly contains critical physical evidence capable of explaining why this disaster occurred.

Guyana is a sovereign nation and must be recognized and treated as such by those both foreign and domestic. Food, energy and economic sovereignty is a must.

Poor peoples' lives seem not to matter anymore. Government's have grown callous and authoritarian, unable to cope with the contradictions of our economic and social system. Thoughts are with the families of those who perished on the MV Barima.

The respect for the lives lost so unfortunately can only be honoured by justice so other lives will not be lost in the same callous way.

A national tragedy does not end when the vigils are over, the candles die out, the funeral notices fade. It lingers in the memory for generations. In the lives of those now living without a loved one, a provider, a carer, a parent, a child. Provisions must be made, justice must be done. Without finding out where things went wrong, we cannot hope to get it right.

To get proper justice. So many distractions and false acts of support are being pushed out by the people in power. That is not what the victims deserve.

Lives matter. A state should and must protect its citizens. It is totally unacceptable that a government unit was so criminally negligent.
