Former Rival Gang Members in Antigua and Barbuda Unite Through Football Game
On Saturday, former rival gang members in Antigua and Barbuda used a football game to cement their recent truce, with Prime Minister Gaston Browne kicking off the game.
The truce was brokered between the 2-Drilly gang from St. John’s City West and the Grays Farm Thugs from St. John’s Rural West.
Prime Minister Browne joined the 2-Drilly team, playing as a striker for the game’s opening minutes, which ended 7-5 in favor of the 2-Drilly gang.
The large crowd in attendance agreed that the real winners were peace and unity.
