(Trinidad Guardian) Trinidad and Tobago is now under a State of Emergency, following a proclamation by President Christine Carla Kangaloo in response to a “widespread and coordinated national security threat.”
In a statement issued yesterday, the President said she was satisfied that a public emergency had arisen, citing recent developments “of such a nature and on so extensive a scale, as to be likely to endanger public safety.” The State of Emergency took immediate effect nationwide.



The move came after a formal recommendation from Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro, based on intelligence pointing to the existence of a sophisticated criminal network operating from inside the prison system

Is this part of the UNC’s master crime fighting plan? After all the ole talk and cussing of the previous government? Didn’t they say Rowley had lost all control when he recommended the same course of action? The more things change…

I'm wondering why I am responding to you, but here are facts:

After all the ole talk and cussing of the previous government?


"For years, while in Opposition, I repeatedly called for a State of Emergency, not as cheap political gimmickry to appease the population leading up to an election, but as a critical measure to attack the crime situation within the parameters of the law," Persad-Bissessar said in a written statement.She had dismissed Keith Rowley’s December 2024 SoE as “shameless political gimmickry” and condemned his decision to let acting Attorney General at the time, Stuart Young, front the announcement.

They asked why the SOE came after almost 9 years of PNM government inability to control crime and an election in proximity...approximately 5,000 were killed.

Didn’t they say Rowley had lost all control when he recommended the same course of action?


In the PNM manifesto of 2015, Rowley noted he had the solutions to control crime if he won the election.... We know what happened in 9 years.
So he had control as 5,000 citizens were killed...amazing logic. He was a fcking dunce.

The more things change…


Attorney General John Jeremie led the update, revealing the SoE had been signed shortly after midnight following intelligence reports from the Police Commissioner about what he described as “a syndicate of gangs” plotting to destabilise the country.

“This is not two or three persons,” Jeremie said. “We were left with no choice…faced with credible information that persons involved in the administration of justice were to be assassinated…we make no apologies for that.”“The previous one by the PNM was prompted by nothing,” he said. “This one is based on intelligence of a coordinated threat. I don’t want to politicize it."“What happened in 1990 will not happen on our watch.”

Intelligence reports that criminals in the prison system were about to target citizens in key positions in T&T.
Such was a known fact to your past PNM government under useless Hinds. Rowley and Hinds did nothing.

Early in this government mandate, they decide this was the best way to handle the situation.

Now let's see how this turns out...where is this problem that you are complaining about?

They doing nothing my friend
Only talking
They don’t know what to do

Like the West Indies, the material is faulty despite best intentions
