CARICOM leaders express concern about attacks on Guyana Defence Force (GDF) personnel in recent months and call on Venezuela to arrest those responsible. In a communiqué issued after the 51st Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community, CARICOM says it is following a pattern of attacks affecting GDF ranks. Several reports describe the incidents as occurring along or near the Cuyuni River, a border area between Guyana and Venezuela, and state that CARICOM raises concerns that Venezuelan territory is being used to launch attacks on GDF patrols. CARICOM’s position, as reported by both outlets, is directed to the Venezuelan government, urging it to identify the perpetrators and take action by arresting them. The reports characterize CARICOM’s stance as a response to ongoing security incidents rather than a single event, and they indicate that CARICOM is using the regional summit outcomes to press for accountability. Both sources agree that the call for arrests is a key outcome of the meeting and that CARICOM links its concern to cross-border attack activity involving the border region.
