    Funding Gap Holds West Indies Back | Guyana News

    West Indies women’s cricket captain Hayley Matthews lays bare the harsh reality: their team’s struggles aren’t due to lack of talent, but a crushing funding gap that leaves them playing catch-up against Australia’s well-resourced system. With no structured pathways for young players, many—including Matthews herself—learn through grit, not guidance. The absence of investment forces seasoned players to mentor rookies on the job, highlighting a broken pipeline that demands systemic change. Even rising star Aaliyah Alleyne, fighting from a tough background, sees her success as inspiration—but also as proof the team can do better. Their resilience is undeniable, but without serious investment and sustainable development, the West Indies will keep battling uphill. The message is clear: talent alone won’t win the day without equal opportunity.

    Guyana Rejects Suriname’s Solo Bridge Plan | Guyana News

    Guyana’s President Ali is standing firm: the Corentyne River bridge must be a joint Guyana-Suriname project or not at all. He says Suriname’s recent claims of building it alone contradict the original agreement and his own conversations with Surinamese President Geerlings-Simons. Despite both leaders reaffirming their commitment last year and setting up a task force to resolve issues, Suriname’s minister now says the bridge should be funded and built solely by Suriname — a sharp departure from the planned 50-50 split. The $300 million bridge, spanning 3.1 km and linking Moleson Creek to South Drain, was once seen as a flagship symbol of regional cooperation — even featuring a commercial hub on Long Island — and was signed on in August 2020. Now, the project hangs in the balance as both nations face a diplomatic rift over who pays and who leads.
