By Zoila Palma: Commander of the Belize Defence Force (BDF) Brigadier Gen. Azariel Loria urges Belizeans to exercise caution when visiting Sarstoon following several incidents involving the Guatemalan Armed Forces (GAF) last week.
“The Prime Minister has spoken on it, that we as Belizeans we can move anywhere we want in Belize we’re free to do so. But we have to be cognizant of the fact that there is a situation down at the Sarstoon and we would ask anybody that wishes to go there to do so with caution. And, we will continue to ensure, to protect, where we could, but it is a volatile situation, right now, and, we do not, we do not want to, request the Belizeans, but just for them to be careful if they so wish to venture to that part of the of our country,” Loria told 7News Belize.
Loria also commended the BDF for their professionalism.
“I have to be proud of my soldiers, my troops. They have done well. We give them, we provide them with the operational intent based on our capabilities, our resources that we have and they have done a tremendous job. They have done a fantastic job. Nothing short of heroic. So, proud of them. And I take the opportunity to voice to them that as the commander of the Belize Defense Force. I’m so proud of them. Really, really proud of the work that they have done. And, we will continue to execute. So, respecting the rule of law we have our rules of engagement and I continue to urge them, demanding them to be respectful and professional at all times,” Loria added.
