  • Five Guyanese to attend Paintball World Cup in Miami

    Five Guyanese to attend Paintball World Cup in Miami

    Through Kendallz Extreme Sports, the sole distributor for everything Paintball in the Caribbean, a five-member Guyana team will leave on Wednesday for the Paintball World Cup in Miami.

    The World Cup will feature in excess of 600 teams from over 40 countries, and according to CEO of Kendallz Extreme Sports Kevin Heinz, the Guyanese contingent will embark on a journey to gain exposure and observe best practices at the November 13-17 event.

    Kevin Heinz, as Head Coach and Player, will lead the Guyana team that comprises Luke Chanderpaul, Dominic Bowen, Avinash Dhanraj and Aggrey Marsh, as the country makes its first appearance at the global event.

    Heinz, via Kendallz Extreme Sports, has been promoting Paintball for the last 13 years, both at the recreational and competitive levels.

    According to Kevin Heinz, Guyana is keen on putting structures to the sport to foster its growth

    This World Cup in Miami, he pointed out, is more of a fact-finding mission for the Guyanese as efforts continue to elevate the sport in the country by embracing internationally accepted standards, while competing against top ranked nations and players.

    “This is also about flying the Golden Arrowhead on that international stage because over the years we have been trying to position Guyana as a sport tourism hub,” Heinz told News Room Sport.

    “(Also we’re going to) witness best practices for the Paintball industry at the highest level. We will also be scouting teams to invite them down to Guyana for our flagship tournament, which is the Resilience Inter-Country.”

    Attending the World Cup, Heinz further explained, is also a step in the direction of regularising the sport in Guyana by putting structures in place for training and expansion.

    The trip to the World Cup has been made possible with support from the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, the Ministry of Tourism, the Guyana Tourism Authority and Jamar’s Associates.

    ExxonMobil Futsal in Linden resumes with key group stage fixtures

    The fast-paced action of the New Era Entertainment-coordinated ExxonMobil Guyana Futsal Championship resumes tonight at the Retrieve Tarmac in Linden, promising more goals and drama following an explosive opening round.

    Tournament Coordinator Aubrey Major Jr confirmed that the first night was marked by huge scorelines and an “electric atmosphere,” despite some developing teams receiving a “thumping.”

    The event, which pits 16 teams into a group stage format with the top two advancing, heads into a crucial evening of fixtures that could shape the quarter-final bracket.

    The night’s schedule features a key Group B encounter when defending champions YMCA A—who romped to a 10-2 victory in their opener—take on Figgy FC at 20:30h.

    A win for the champions would solidify their place at the top of the group.

    The evening closes with a tough Group D clash as Team Salah locks horns with tournament newcomers Stabroek (22:30h), who registered a staggering 19-4 victory in their first match, led by an eight-goal haul from Bevney Marks.

    The action kicks off with Bombers facing YMCA B (18:30h), followed by Foundation Family opposing Westside Ballers (19:30h). The Hard-knocks versus Hardball Management game at 21:30h is expected to be a tightly contested Group A battle.

    The stakes remain exceptionally high, emphasizing the tournament’s importance in local football:

    • The eventual winner will take home $ 1.5 million.
    • The runner-up receives $750,000, with third and fourth place collecting $350,000 and $200,000, respectively.
    • The Most Valuable Player (MVP) will be awarded a motorcycle, and a $300,000 academic grant will be available to a deserving player or fan, underscoring the organizers’ commitment to holistic development.

    The group stage action continues at the same venue on Friday as teams fight to secure their place in the knockout rounds.

  • DPP orders inquest into death of Sophia man fatally stabbed by partner

    DPP orders inquest into death of Sophia man fatally stabbed by partner

    The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has ordered an inquest into the death of 25-year-old Akeem Evans of ‘B’ Field, Sophia, who was fatally stabbed by his reputed wife during a domestic dispute last Wednesday.

    An inquest is a judicial inquiry, presided over by a Magistrate. It is done to determine the cause and circumstances of a death, particularly in cases where it appears to be suspicious, violent or unnatural.

    Evans, a labourer, was reportedly attacked around 18:10 hrs at the couple’s ‘B’ Field, Sophia home.

    Police investigations revealed that the pair became involved in a heated argument during which the woman allegedly armed herself with a sharp object and stabbed Evans once to the chest.

    Sophia woman leaves partner for dead at hospital, goes into hiding after fatal stabbing

    Public-spirited persons rushed both Evans and the woman to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) for treatment, but upon arrival, Evans was pronounced dead. The suspect subsequently fled the hospital and went into hiding.

    However, the following day, sources told the News Room the woman surrendered at the Turkeyen Police Station.

    The DPP’s order for an inquest comes as Police wrapped up their investigation and dispatched the file to the chambers for legal advice.

  • Health Ministry launches recipe book

    Health Ministry launches recipe book

    Health Minister Dr. Frank Anthony on Wednesday launched the ‘Colourful Cooking for Healthy Living’ recipe book with emphasis on nutritional meals.

    During his remarks at the launch held at the Umana Yana, at Kingston, Georgetown, Dr. Anthony said a healthy diet is essential for preventing chronic diseases.

    “If you want to stay healthy then one of the things you have to start thinking about is what you eat. You can change the diets in your home – and if we start doing that, we can prevent a lot of chronic diseases from happening,” the Health Minister said.

    He emphasised the importance of prevention, noting that a long and healthy life starts with focus on diet and exercise.

    “We have to start with the simple, daily things that we do. We have to start eating appropriately. We are hoping that we can get people to think about what they eat and drink,” he said.

    This free recipe book is available for public knowledge and encourages healthy lifestyles. It was developed by the ministry with partners who have background in dietary and nutritional food preparation. It holds recipes that persons can make with vegetables, fruits and other ingredients found locally.

    A notable issue the book aims to resolve is portion sizes as this can lead to over eating. The recipe book provides measurements allocated for persons to track their calorie intake among other healthy eating procedures.

    Importantly, the Health Minister urged persons to reduce their sugar intake, avoid ultra-processed foods and drink more water.

    “It’s probably more convenient for us to buy things on the shelf but when we actually examine them, these things are a lot of chemicals that are harmful to your body,” the minister said.

  • Guyana’s digital forest: How a small state is using AI to lead a global green revolution

    Guyana’s digital forest: How a small state is using AI to lead a global green revolution

    By Danielle Swain

    Belém, Brazil

    danielle@newsroom.gy

    When Pradeepa Bholanath stepped onto the stage at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, the Senior Director for Climate Change in Guyana’s Ministry of Natural Resources wasn’t unveiling a new forest pact or a billion-dollar pledge. Instead, she described something less flashy but far more radical, how a small South American nation is using artificial intelligence and digital innovation to protect one of the world’s most intact rainforests.

    At the session titled “Live Canopy: Harnessing AI and Digital Innovation for Forest Conservation and Reforestation,” hosted by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, Guyana’s model of technology-driven forest governance took centre stage. The event, held inside the Forest Pavilion at COP30, coincided with the release of the Live Canopy report, a detailed study on how AI, remote sensing, and data systems are reshaping forest management worldwide.

    Guyana’s digital forest

    For Guyana, the move toward digital monitoring was never just about innovation, it was about survival. Much of the country’s 18 million hectares of rainforest lies deep in the interior, far from roads or rivers. “Technology became a necessity,” said Pradeepa Bholanath, Senior Director for Climate Change in the Ministry of Natural Resources. “Half of our forests are in areas you simply can’t reach. Satellite systems allow us to see what’s happening in real time, even in the most remote corners of Guyana.”

    That necessity birthed one of the developing world’s quiet success stories. In 2009, Guyana built one of the first national Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems under its forest partnership with Norway, a system that has delivered 15 consecutive years of transparent, digital forest monitoring.

    “This is how small states can lead globally,” Bholanath said, “by embedding technology within sustainable forest governance and using data not just to report on the forest, but to protect it.”

    Carbon to biodiversity

    At the session, Bholanath revealed how Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy 2030 (LCDS 2030) has turned its forest data into a cornerstone of environmental policy. The country’s MRV platform is now being expanded to track biodiversity indicators, creating a digital backbone for the recently launched Global Biodiversity Alliance, a multilateral initiative spearheaded by President Dr Irfaan Ali in Guyana earlier this year.

    “We’re moving beyond carbon,” she said. “The same systems that monitor emissions can also help us report on species, water, and community safeguards. That’s the future of climate accountability.”

    AI meets inclusion, the view from Brazil

    Panelists from Brazil echoed and expanded on Guyana’s message, underscoring that technology alone will not save the world’s forests.

    André Aquino, Head of the Special Economic Advisory Office at Brazil’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, emphasized that simplicity and inclusivity must remain central to innovation. “We can’t afford to make systems so complex that countries can’t use them,” he warned. “AI must accelerate capacity-building, not replace it.”

    Raul Protázio Romão, Secretary of Environment and Sustainability for the State of Pará, reminded the audience that the forest agenda “cannot be carbon blind.” Conservation, he said, must include social and bioeconomic benefits for the people who live within and depend on the forest.

    Marianna Budaragina, Senior Climate Finance Advisor at the Tony Blair Institute, introduced the Live Canopy report’s “Digital Tree Framework”, which maps how technologies like AI, satellite sensing, and data-sharing can strengthen every layer of forest action, from the “roots” of connectivity and governance to the “canopy” of biodiversity and restoration. “Technology can empower decision-makers,” she said, “but it can’t replace human stewardship.”

    From the technical side, Tasso Azevedo, founder of MapBiomas, explained how machine learning has transformed land-use mapping across Brazil and other global south countries where MapBiomas works. “We now track every 30-by-30-meter pixel of the country, year after year,” he said, noting that his team retrains models annually to refine accuracy. “AI helps us move fast, but people make the maps real. Without human understanding, the algorithms fail.”

    South–South Solutions

    If there was a common thread among the panelists, it was that digital innovation must flow both ways, not from North to South, but between nations facing similar challenges.

    Bholanath called for deeper South–South collaboration, noting that Guyana is learning from Brazil’s advances in data governance while offering lessons of its own. “The fastest, most cost-effective way forward,” she said, “is to share what already works.”

    Azevedo agreed, describing a future in which tropical countries jointly develop tools that reflect their realities , from mapping cattle pastures and soya bean in Brazil  to palm oil and rubber trees in Indonesia.

    The future, written in code

    As COP30 unfolds under Brazil’s presidency, the message from Belém is resounding, digital transformation is no longer theoretical, it is the next frontier of climate action.

    For Guyana, that frontier is both technological and moral. The country’s “digital forest dream” is not yet a finished system, but a vision rooted in accessibility, trust, and cooperation. The next phase will depend not only on algorithms and satellites, but on partnerships that make these tools work for everyone.

    “Technology should never be an exclusive language,” said André Aquino. “It has to be one that communities, scientists, and policymakers all understand.”

    In that sense, Guyana’s journey reflects a larger truth emerging from Belém, that the future of conservation will belong to those who can blend innovation with inclusion.

    A small state with a vast forest, Guyana is proving that progress in the digital age is not measured only in data but in how widely that data is shared, and how deeply it serves the people who protect the planet’s forests.

  • ‘Lock up the culprits’- Traffic Chief backs tougher enforcement amid wanton e-cycle misuse

    ‘Lock up the culprits’- Traffic Chief backs tougher enforcement amid wanton e-cycle misuse

    Traffic Chief Mahendra Singh has called for a stronger, collective approach to addressing the growing misuse of electric cycles on the roadways, emphasising that enforcement, not education alone, is needed to curb unsafe practices.

    Speaking during an interview with the News Room, Singh said while the Guyana Police Force has been focusing on traffic education to raise awareness, many e-cycle users continue to disregard the law.

    “We utilise traffic education as the means to raise awareness- how, where, and when these cycles should be used.

    “But when they come on the public roadways, they must be properly registered, licensed, and the riders must wear helmets,” Singh said.

    The Traffic Chief noted that despite these efforts, roughly 90 per cent of the cases involve unregistered and uncertified e-cycles, often operated by children below the age of 16.

    Traffic Chief, Mahendra Singh

    He reminded that under the current regulations, e-cycles must be registered, certified, and issued with a fitness and revenue licence before they are sold or used.

    “The law was amended in 2023 to make registration obligatory.

    “From the moment it is imported, it must now be registered and meet all the conditions before being sold,” Singh pointed out.

    According to Singh, parents also have a key role to play, urging them to be more responsible when purchasing e-cycles for minors.

    “Parents take the opportunity to buy them for children below the age of 16,” he said, describing it as a worrying trend that places young riders at risk.

    However, he believes that stronger enforcement actions, including seizing unregistered e-cycles, issuing tickets, and prosecuting repeat offender,s may be necessary to bring about meaningful change.

    Singh also told the News Room that about seven per cent of e-cycle incidents in 2022 resulted in fatalities, underscoring the urgency of compliance.

    “We need to see the public complying with the rules of the road and the laws that govern the use of these electric cycles,” he said.

  • Première édition de “Ayiti VodouFest” : un coup d’essai, un coup de maître

    Première édition de “Ayiti VodouFest” : un coup d’essai, un coup de maître

    La Radio Télévision Caraïbes (RTVC), en partenariat avec le Centre Culturel Caraïbes (CCC), vient de signer un véritable exploit culturel : la première édition du “Ayiti VodouFest”, le plus grand événement jamais organisé autour de la célébration du vodou en Haïti.

    Du 31 octobre au 9 novembre 2025, le public haïtien et les vodouisants en particulier ont vibré au rythme d’une série de spectacles captivants, entre le Centre Culturel Brésil-Haïti (CCBH) et le El Rancho Convention Center.

    Placée sous le thème évocateur « Mete limyè sou lavi », cette première édition a célébré, avec éclat, les traditions spirituelles, populaires et artistiques du pays à l’occasion de la fête des Guédés, pilier de la culture haïtienne.

    Une immersion totale dans l’univers du vodou

    Pendant dix jours, le Centre Culturel Brésil-Haïti s’est transformé en un haut lieu de communion artistique et spirituelle. Sur scène, une brochette d’artistes et de groupes parmi les plus inspirés du moment ont défilé : Titi Congo, Fameuse Maude, Ti Koko Wanganeges, Zikiki, Mirka, Adjamile, Kath Jean Charles, Ralph Valery Alfred, Joël Acoustique… Autant de talents qui ont fait vibrer le public, soir après soir, dans une ambiance à la fois mystique et festive.

    Une clôture en apothéose à El Rancho

    Pour la grande finale, le Centre de Convention El Rancho a revêtu ses plus beaux atours. Décor, lumières, mise en scène, costumes : tout a été minutieusement orchestré pour offrir un spectacle grandiose.

    En ouverture, DJ Wayne a électrisé la salle avec des mixes inspirés de la profonde discographie du vodou haïtien, faisant danser le public avant même le lever de rideau.

    Puis, la scène s’est enflammée avec Titi Congo, véritable révélation de la soirée, qui a offert une performance d’une intensité rare, saluée comme l’une des plus vibrantes vitrines de la culture vodou contemporaine.

    Le groupe Nanm Vodou, connu pour son énergie scénique et ses chorégraphies envoûtantes, a poursuivi dans la même veine, mêlant ferveur spirituelle et expression artistique. Chaque interaction avec le public résonnait comme une célébration de l’identité haïtienne.

    Et quand Erol Josué est monté sur scène, le temps s’est suspendu : plus qu’un artiste, il a livré une performance initiatique, à la fois poétique et sacrée — un hommage vivant aux racines ancestrales et aux forces invisibles qui fondent la nation haïtienne.

    Enfin, pour conclure en beauté, le légendaire groupe Boukman Eksperyans a fait résonner les hymnes d’une génération entière. Le public, conquis, a repris à l’unisson les refrains de ce monument du patrimoine musical haïtien. Une communion parfaite entre mémoire, musique et spiritualité.

    Une absence remarquée, un symbole fort

    Seule ombre au tableau : l’absence regrettée du groupe RAM, contraint d’annuler sa participation en raison de difficultés logistiques après une prestation à Jacmel. Un manque qui n’a pourtant pas terni l’éclat de cette première édition unanimement saluée.

    Un acte fondateur pour la valorisation du vodou

    Au-delà de la fête, “Ayiti VodouFest” se veut une démarche de réhabilitation et de valorisation du vodou comme patrimoine culturel immatériel d’Haïti, bien au-delà des préjugés historiques.

    « Ce festival, c’est une manière de dire au monde que le vodou n’est pas une superstition, mais une force vive, une mémoire collective, une identité »,
    a déclaré Max Ferlor Jean, directeur artistique et grand architecte de l’événement.

    Déjà, les organisateurs annoncent la deuxième édition pour novembre 2026, promettant une programmation encore plus ambitieuse et inclusive.

  • Gov’t, private sector strengthen collaboration on anti-corruption

    Gov’t, private sector strengthen collaboration on anti-corruption

    The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance on Tuesday opened its Anti-Corruption Roundtable; a one-day engagement that brings together government officials and senior representatives from more than 30 private-sector bodies as part of ongoing efforts to advance integrity systems and strengthen resilience within both sectors. Key areas highlighted during the roundtable include auditing ethics in private enterprises, promoting integrity standards, building institutional capacity to prevent and combat corruption, and exploring the use of Artificial Intelligence as a transformative tool for transparency in both the public and private sectors.

    The discussions also focused on progress made in implementing recommendations arising from the Inter-American Convention Against Corruption (IACAC) and the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) periodic reviews.

    The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance on Tuesday opened its Anti-Corruption Roundtable

    Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance, Gail Teixeira, underscored the significant progress Guyana has made in building administrative and legal infrastructure to support transparency and accountability.

    “When we look at where we have come from and where we are now, we have made enormous strides as a country,” Teixeira said.

    She also highlighted that Guyana’s increased revenue from oil, gas, and carbon credits brings greater responsibility to ensure strong, accountable public institutions.

    “Strengthening public institutions is an ongoing effort,” Teixeira said.

    Teixeira further acknowledged that some government innovations aimed at improving accountability face resistance but stressed that these reforms ultimately reduce opportunities for corruption.

    She explained that corruption, particularly in areas such as contracting, can lead to substandard public infrastructure.

    “Oversight is critical. For every corrupt act, such as in contracts, money that should have gone to quality buildings, roads, and schools is siphoned off. We have come a long way, but there is still much more to be done,” Minister Teixeira stated.

    She also urged private-sector companies to develop their own anti-corruption policies and procedures, highlighting the importance of equipping especially small and medium-sized enterprises with the tools to implement ethical business practices.

    Meanwhile, Chairman of the Private Sector Commission (PSC), Captain Jerry Gouveia Jr., during brief remarks praised the initiative.

    “Initiatives like this demonstrate how, when the government and private sector align, we can move the country forward.

    “This anti-corruption framework is not just a feel-good topic – it strengthens our business competitiveness regionally and internationally,” the PSC Chairman said.
