Plusieurs milliers de personnes ont à nouveau arpenté les rues de Pointe-à-Pitre ce matin, samedi 5 novembre à l’appel du Lyannaj Kont Pwofitasyon. 

Le rendez-vous avait été donné à 8h30 devant le CHU de Pointe-à-Pitre. C’est sous la haute surveillance des services de police et de gendarmerie que les manifestants ont a exprimé leur soutien aux revendications.

La réintégration des suspendus étudiants, salariés et libéraux reste toujours la première revendication depuis plus d’une année. C’est au 31 décembre 2021 que des centaines de salariés ont été suspendus suite à leur refus de se conformer à l’obligation vaccinale contre la Covid 19 imposée à leur corps de métier. De nombreux motifs sont évoqués comme la crainte d’effets secondaires, la contrainte jugée abusive et un vaccin décrit comme expérimental voire inefficace. Ces motifs sont à mettre en relation avec une crise de plus, celle de la confiance. Les tâtonnements réalisés dans le cadre de la résolution de la crise sanitaire et les contradictions qui en sont nées ont définitivement éteint la foi de certains guadeloupéens en les autorités.

Les plans de départ exceptionnel de type ruptures conventionnelles, les plans de reconversion et départs anticipés à la retraite ont été refusés. 

La population doit faire face à la flambée des prix : En juin 2022, en Guadeloupe, les prix à la consommation avaient augmenté de 1% sur un mois et de 5% sur une année selon l’indice des prix de l’INSEE.  Chèque énergie, aides financières exceptionnelles aux allocataires, boucliers prix, les mesures mises en place sont jugées insuffisantes par le collectif : Comme en 2009, le Lyannaj kont pwofitasyon réclame une augmentation des salaires et des minimas sociaux qui permettra de faire face durablement à la vie qui est, même hors crises, toujours plus chère en Guadeloupe. Cette motion est couplée à la demande d’une baisse des prix des produits de première nécessité et pétroliers.

En troisième proposition, le groupe exige de l’eau potable et buvable dans les robinets. Depuis la tempête Fiona, des arrêtés ont été émis par plusieurs municipalités afin de suspendre la consommation de l’eau des robinets qui ne se trouvait plus dans la référence de qualité. Des secteurs, comme celui de Saint-François, continuent de souffrir d’interruptions de la distribution de l’eau pendant des jours successifs voire des semaines.

Le collectif réclame de plus :

– La satisfaction des revendications des sinistrés du cyclone FIONA.

– De “vrais emplois correctement rémunérés” 

– Des moyens humains et matériels dans tous les services publics,

– Un système de transport performant,

– L’ouverture des négociations collectives dans toutes les branches professionnelles et le maintien des accords de branche et des conventions collectives font aussi partie des revendications.

Chef on trial for allegedly raping colleague

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Antigua News Room

Newsco: The trial of a chef accused of rape began yesterday before Justice Ann-Marie Smith in the High Court.

The prosecution is of the belief that the defendant had unlawful sexual intercourse with a dishwasher who was catering, alongside him, for a private Christmas Eve party at a villa in 2020.

The victim reportedly met the defendant a week prior to the incident which allegedly took place on Christmas Day.

While working at the private event the day prior, the complainant reportedly had a drink to commemorate her upcoming 17th birthday.

She reportedly missed the work bus and decided to stay at the villa. Having been acquainted with the defendant, she asked him to stay with her to avoid being there alone.

The two reportedly shared a room, and had a few laughs before going to sleep in separate beds.

Some time later the complainant allegedly awoke to find the defendant on top of her, her clothes were undone and she also felt pain in her privates.

The trial, which began yesterday with a jury of nine, saw only one witness testifying — the police photographer.

He showed the court images he took on the afternoon of the alleged crime.

They included pictures of the two disheveled beds, a stain on one of the beds, and clothing in different parts of the room.

The trial will continue on Monday.

The accused is represented by Attorney Wendel Robinson.

Kamla threatens court action over property tax, local government elections

Black Immigrant Daily News

Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar – File photo

OPPOSITION Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar warned that the UNC will take Government to court if it implements property tax legislation, and also for not calling local government elections this year.

Persad-Bissessar issued these warnings during an occasionally volatile sitting of the House of Representatives on Friday, which saw Speaker Bridgid Annisette-George having to rein in government and opposition MPs.

In her contribution to debate on the Finance Bill 2022, Persad-Bissessar reiterated the UNC’s opposition to the property tax which she said is justified by an August 10, 2021 memorandum from the Finance Ministry’s valuations division to permanent secretary Suzette Lee Chee.

Persad-Bissessar claimed in the document, the division said it could not share information on property taxes with either the Board of Inland Revenue or the Rural Development and Local Government Ministry until the Data Protection Act is fully proclaimed.

She expressed concern that people’s personal information could be shared without their permission in those circumstances. Persad-Bissessar was also concerned about what kind of information the Commissioner of Valuations could get from entities, such as the Water and Sewerage Authority and the TT Electricity Commission, about people as it populates its valuation rolls for the collection of property tax.

Persad-Bissessar told government MPs, “You canot pass this with a simple majority and if you do, we will take you to court.”

Responding to an inaudible comment from the government’s side, Persad-Bissessar said no one could tell her anything about the police knocking on her door.

“No one is knocking unless you send them. My hands are clean and my heart is pure!”

She also dismissed suggestions that local government corporations would benefit from the collection of residential property tax.

Reiterating the UNC’s condemnation of the extension of the life of local councils by one year and of local government elections taking place next year, Persad-Bissessar warned, “We are going to court on that matter as well.

At a news conference on November 3, Rural Development and Local Govt Minister Faris Al-Rawi said under the Miscellaneous Provisions (Local Government Reform) Bill 2020 – which will be partially proclaimed on Tuesday – the terms of all councillors and aldermen will end on December 3, 2023.

He said this extra year provides time for the rollout of the local government reform package and there is a three-month period after this date within which local government elections can be held.

Al-Rawi said, “Within the extra year, we will be able to build out all the relevant sections of the law, including taking councillors who are executive members and making them into secretaries similar to the THA; operationalising 13 separate divisions inside local government divisions, including planning, engineering, audit and accounting, sporting and recreation, etc.”

He also said under the amended Municipal Corporations Act, local government corporations would be able to handle the collection of residential property tax in their jurisdiction.

In the House, Persad-Bissessar questioned the absence of the Prime Minister when there were issues of national importance to be addressed.

In a statement on Friday, the Office of the Prime Minister said Dr Rowley tested positive for covid19 experiencing flu-like symptoms and will remain in isolation. Rowley first had covid19 in early April 2021, and again on July 29 this year. He is fully vaccinated with the Sinopharm vaccine and has had two booster shots.

Persad-Bissessar asked, “Where is the Prime Minister? It seems that every time the heat is on, somebody goes missing in action and will not be there to answer?”

She slammed National Security Minister Fitzgerald Hinds over the shooting incident near Rose Hill RC Primary School on November 3.

“Should this be happening in our schools?”

While Hinds and Finance Minister Colm Imbert spoke earlier in the sitting about increasing various fees related to firearms, Persad-Bissessar said this was only for legally registered firearms.

Al-Rawi and Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh questioned the relevance of her comments.

To one audible comment from the government benches, Persad-Bissessar said, “I understand the courthouse is looking for every member of the NSC (National Security Council), including the Prime Minister.”

On October 28, Justice Devindra Rampersad issued an order for the Prime Minister, Al-Rawi, Imbert, Hinds, Energy Minister Stuart Young and Public Utilities Minister Marvin Gonzales to appear in court the following week for the hearing of an injunction application from former police commissioner Gary Griffith to prevent the publication of the controversial Firearm User’s Licence (FUL) audit report in Parliament.

On October 29, Rampersad issued a new order which did not include a summons for Rowley and his ministers in relation to this matter.

Government MPs objected when Persad-Bissessar compared the bill to “sprangers who pick up every little piece of thing on the road.”

Annisette-George cautioned her. “It is not proper. I know you can do better than that.”

Persad-Bissessar heeded her ruling.

“I don’t refer to the honourable members on the other side at all (as sprangers).”

Opposition MPs thumped their desks as Persad-Bissessar told their government counterparts, “You will never stop me. I will take you on. Anywhere. Any time and any place for the rights of the people of TT.”

THE WEST Indies pair of Joshua Da Silva and Yannic Cariah led from the front to guide TT Red Force to a seven-wicket win over Windward Islands Volcanoes in the CG United Super50 Cup at the Queen’s Park Oval in St Clair on Saturday.

It was a much-needed victory for Red Force after losing their second match of the tournament to Guyana Harpy Eagles by three runs at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba on Wednesday.

Leg spinner Cariah, who earned a surprise West Indies call-up earlier this year, bagged 3/34 in ten overs as Volcanoes were dismissed for 189 in 47 overs.

Volcanoes lost wickets regularly as the team’s highest partnership was a 35-run third-wicket stand between Kavem Hodge and Sunil Ambris.

The Volcanoes batting has experience with the likes of Johnson Charles, Ambris and Andre Fletcher. However, the trio only combined to score 30 runs.

Charles was dismissed for 16, Ambris fell for 13 and Fletcher could only muster one as Volcanoes were reduced to 59/4 in the 15th over.

Cariah dismissed Ambris and Fletcher.

Hodge and Tevyn Walcott showed resilience scoring 39 and 36 respectively, but Volcanoes still fell short of a competitive total.

Hodge faced 71 balls and struck four fours in his innings.

West Indies fast bowler Shannon Gabriel took 2/36 in six overs and medium pacer Terrance Hinds snatched 2/39 in seven overs.

In reply, West Indies wicket-keeper Da Silva and Kjorn Ottley got Red Force off to a solid start putting on 69 runs for the first wicket.

Ottley fell for 36 off 48 balls, before Jason Mohammed and Da Silva added 29 runs for the second wicket. Mohammed was sent back to the pavilion for 20 off 35 balls as Red Force were now 98/2 in the 25th over.

A 43-run stand between Darren Bravo and Da Silva kept Red Force in control. Da Silva was next to go for 66 off 88 deliveries, a knock which included six fours and one six.

Red Force skipper Nicholas Pooran and Bravo guided Red Force to victory putting on an unbroken partnership of 54 runs. Red Force closed on 195/3 in 43 overs with Pooran ending on 36 not out off 31 balls and Bravo closing on 27 not out off 56 balls.

Red Force have now won two of their first three matches. Before losing to Harpy Eagles, Red Force got past Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) by seven wickets in their opening match.

Red Force will play CCC in their next match at the Queen’s Park Oval from 9 am on Monday.

In another match on Saturday, West Indies Academy defeated Jamaica Scorpions by 12 runs in Antigua.

SUMMARISED SCORES

WINDWARD ISLANDS VOLCANOES 189 (47 overs) – Kavem Hodge 39, Tevyn Walcott 36; Yannic Cariah 3/34, Shannon Gabriel 2/36, Terrance Hinds 2/39 vs TT RED FORCE 195/3 (43 overs) – Joshua Da Silva 66, Nicholas Pooran 36 not out, Kjorn Ottley 36. Red Force won by seven wickets

WEST INDIES ACADEMY 182 (44.5 overs) – Kevin Wickham 46, Kevlon Anderson 33; Dennis Bulli 4/32, Jeavor Royal 3/39 vs JAMAICA SCORPIONS 170 (39.5 overs) – Rovman Powell 42, Brandon King 28, Andre McCarthy 28; Joshua James 3/19, Ashmead Nedd 3/33. West Indies Academy won by 12 runs

Diddy brought out the stars including one of his girlfriends Yung Miami for his birthday bash.

The “Gotta Move On” rapper and label boss celebrated his 53rd birthday in fine style, surrounded by friends, family, and notable members of the hip-hop community on Friday afternoon. Diddy has a lot to celebrate this year as he is not only in good health but also moved up the ladder as the third richest man in hip-hop a week ago. In a selfie video shared on his birthday, Diddy appears in bed and is full of gratitude as he sings himself happy birthday before shouting, “Thank you, God! I lived another year!”

On Friday afternoon, Diddy was spotted with hip-hop veterans Jermaine Dupri, Jay-Z, and Mary J. Blige, all paid tribute to the former Bad Boy CEO. Chris Brown and Shenseea were also spotted in conversation at the event.

In one video, Diddy can be seen sharing shots of his DeLeón Tequila with Jay-Z and Mary as he toasts using his theme for the night- “Love Love,” his new legal name.

The highlight of the night was Diddy, and Yung Miami also shared a rare on-camera moment as he gives her a big kiss after she surprised him with a custom Cuban link chain for his birthday.

Fortes pluies et orages : la Martinique passe en vigilance orange

Black Immigrant Daily News

Météo

Rédaction web

vigilance orange • FA

Une vaste masse d’air humide et instable concerne actuellement l’ensemble de l’arc antillais et génère de nombreux passages pluvieux et orageux. Une ligne de pluies soutenues pourrait affecter l’île dans les prochaines heures. Dans son bulletin de 17h, ce samedi 5 novembre, Météo France annonce le passage de la Martinique en vigilance Orange.

De fréquentes averses ont arrosé la moitié Est de la Martinique cet après-midi, toutefois sans cumuls de pluie conséquents. Cependant, une ligne de pluies orageuses plus marquées se rapproche actuellement de la façade Caraïbe. Cette ligne de pluies localement soutenues et orageuses affecte la Martinique dans les prochaines heures. Elle peut déjà entrainer des cumuls de pluie de l’ordre de 50 mm en 3h avant de s’évacuer

par l’Est du territoire en début de nuit prochaine.

Puissant axe orageux

Après une courte accalmie, des pluies d’une intensité supérieure se déclenchent en seconde partie de nuit prochaine. Elles sont associées à un puissant axe orageux qui se situe sur le Proche Atlantique et qui devrait déborder sur la Martinique. Sous ces orages, des cumuls de pluie entre 80 et 100 mm sont possibles en quelques heures. Les communes du littoral Atlantique devraient être les plus impactées. On observe néanmoins une forte incertitude sur la localisation des pluies les plus fortes qui pourraient rester en mer et affecter dans une moindre mesure le territoire.

A noter également que ces orages s’accompagnent d’une intense activité électrique et de fortes rafales de vent, comprises entre 50 et 70 km/h et atteignant 80 km/h sur le littoral Atlantique ainsi que le relief.

Malgré quelques pauses, cet épisode devrait se prolonger les jours suivants et de nouvelles averses localement fortes et orageuses sont prévues en journée de dimanche. ” C’est pourquoi, conclut Météo France,  il convient de surveiller avec attention les accumulations de pluies sur l’ensemble de la période”.

Données observées

Les cumuls de pluie sur les dernières 24 heures sont raisonnables et compris entre 30 et 50 mm sur une grande partie centrale de la Martinique.

En particulier, on relève à 16h les cumuls suivants :

– 40 mm au Gros-Morne

– 35 mm à Saint-Esprit

– 31 mm au Lamentin

La fin de l’événement est estimée entre mardi 8 novembre et mercredi 9 novembre
