PRIME MINISTER Moses Nagamootoo has strongly condemned the recent terrorist massacre in Sri Lanka of almost 300 persons and the injury of more than 500 others.
On Easter Sunday, April 21, 2019, a wave of church bombings across Sri Lanka killed hundreds of persons with recent reports stating that authorities have arrested 24 people in relation to the acts.

While no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks, the terrible occurrence has resulted in a global outpouring of support to the region and others of the Christian faith.
“The cowardly attacks against Churches on Easter Sunday, and the wanton killing of Christian worshippers, including children and mothers; and the bombing of hotels that claimed the lives of foreign tourists, speak to a deadly terror insanity against which the world should be united, now,” said Prime Minister Nagamootoo.

“All peace-loving Guyanese, who are today observing Easter as a national holiday, share with shock and sadness the grief and loss of the people of Sri Lanka, and nationals of other countries, who are victims of those horrible terrorist attacks. We mourn with the people of Sri Lanka, the relatives of the innocent victims and survivors, and feel their anger and fears.”

It has been reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) are among a number of global agencies which have stepped up to assist in the ongoing investigations.
