STATEMENT OF CONDOLENCE BY H.E. MR. EDWIN CARRINGTON, SECRETARY-GENERAL, CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) ON THE DEATH OF THE HON. SATYADEOW SAWH, MINISTER OF FISHERIES, OTHER CROPS AND LIVESTOCK AND MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE (ag.), GUYANA

As Secretary-General of the Caribbean Community, on behalf of the Community, the CARICOM Secretariat and on my own behalf I wish to convey to the wife, children and other members of the family of Mr. Satyadeow Sawh, our deepest sympathy at his death.

The callous destruction of human life and the consequent suffering that has infiltrated our society risk shredding us of our decency, civility, humanity and intrinsic Caribbean spirit.
