The Chronicle reports President Ali issued a proclamation on Tuesday 21 July declaring Wednesday 22 to Friday 24 July days of national mourning for victims of the MV Barima, which it says capsized on 18 July carrying approximately 179 people en route from Georgetown to Port Kaituma. Flags are to fly at half-staff; 22 July was also declared a National Day of Prayer, with a service at the Kingston Seawall and nights of reflection to follow in Port Kaituma and Mabaruma.
