UG calling for nation to respect, support men and women in uniform

The University of Guyana (UG) is hosting a series of actions in support of Guyana’s security personnel and in solidarity with what it refers to as “Guyana’s right to peace within its own borders,” a release from the university stated on Friday.

As such, UG is encouraging its graduates and persons attending any of its seven graduation ceremonies being held from November 9 to 18, to wear ribbons in the colours of the flag of Guyana in solidarity with the national and international calls for peace and respect for international law.

According to the release, the university is also calling for respect and support for Guyana’s men and women in uniform who are the first responders and protectors in all matters of national safety and security – from civilian skirmishes, and national emergencies such as floods to military matters such as protecting our borders and repelling other illegal activity in the country.
