President Dr. Irfaan Ali declares three days of national mourning in honour of the victims of the MV Barima tragedy. The mourning period runs from Wednesday, July 22 through Friday, July 24, 2026, according to notices attributed to the Office of the President and repeated by multiple outlets. During these days, the national flag is flown at half-mast on government buildings and other appropriate locations. The announcements are framed as part of the national response as Guyana continues to grieve the deaths reported in the maritime incident, described by one outlet as among the country’s deadliest maritime disasters. Coverage is consistent that the proclamation is issued by the President and that the same dates and flag protocol apply throughout the three-day period. Together, the articles provide the official dates for the mourning and the ceremonial measures, without presenting differing details about the incident itself.
