Along Antigua’s docks and harbours, fishermen are asking a sobering question: if a small Caribbean fishing boat can be mistaken for a criminal target, who among them is truly safe at sea?

Call it what it is Donald Trump is a old demon living on borrowed time working for the devil looking souls. Don’t look for no peace from the USA. So people of the earth rise up and defend your livity
well the Caribbean governments are not speaking out as their citizens are being murdered. Not one of them has a thing to say. A bunch of cowards. There are hundreds of international organizations where they can voice their concerns… but not a peep is being heard.
I have always thought that smugglers use the cover of darkness to conceal their illegal activities.
I don’t believe that this particular boat was carrying narcotics..
This makes absolutely no sense, it’s murder plain and simple..
oh and what about our government, dem nah hab nottin fu say..
nothing a tall to help assure the honest hard working fisher folk who are now scared for their lives..
Perhaps the Caribbean community can come together and challenge the Trump administration in us courts over these boat strikes..it’s just a suggestion!!!
Special commendations and a heart felt of thanks going out to Donald Trump and the US Military. And to all our regional leaders who’s supporting this, YOUR PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO SUFFER. I hope you begin to realise the mess of that old white man.
OIt appears as though most of our Caribbean heads of government are afraid to up and speak out about the wrongs that Donald Trump and his navy are doing to th Caribbean people. Donald Trump is mashing up Caricom with the help of our dumbfounded, so-called leaders. There’s nothing to gain!
