Guyana may experience a new wave of migrants this year, as the situation in Venezuela remains dire, Minister of Home Affairs Robeson Benn said at his recently held end-of-year press conference.
“We will have perhaps another flood of migrants in desperate circumstances coming from Venezuela,” he said. “There has been an influx from Venezuela of Guyanese persons who still live in Venezuela and if they are forced to leave in fairly rapid circumstances, they will perhaps be in more difficult situations than those who came before.”
