In this episode of In The Ring, Sherod Duncan examines Guyana’s diplomatic positions, local unrest and government accountability. He opens by questioning the administration’s stance on Antigua and related international issues before turning to reports of unrest in Vigilance, East Coast Demerara. The discussion includes footage of burning debris, protests and confrontations between masked individuals and law enforcement following a police operation involving relatives of Mark Cromwell, known as “Demon.”

Duncan then scrutinizes President Irfaan Ali’s claims about fulfilling the government’s 2025 election manifesto promises. He contrasts official descriptions of the aviation sector as being in “takeoff mode” with recent incidents in Mahdia and Maruma, raising questions about safety and oversight. He also examines the government’s response to the MV Barima maritime tragedy, focusing on delays in salvage efforts and the grief of families still seeking answers.

The programme closes with an examination of a heated exchange between the Leader of the Opposition Azruddin Mohamed and PPP Member of Parliament Zamal Hussain. Duncan uses the incident to explore concerns about bullying, professional conduct and accountability in discussions about infrastructure development. Throughout the broadcast, he questions whether government promises are translating into effective action and encourages viewers to remain engaged in the issues shaping Guyana.
