L’atoumo et la brisée, des plantes à l’usage réglementé

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Martinique FranceAntilles

DOSSIER DU JOUR (2/2)

Le Pôle d’agroressources et de recherche de Martinique effectue des démarches complexes et coûteuses afin d’obtenir l’homologation de nos plantes traditionnelles dans le catalogue des ingrédients autorisés par l’Union européenne. Une condition sine qua non pour que les aliments à base d’atoumo ou de brisée puissent être commercialisés, voire exportés.

Bien que des plantes issues de la pharmacopée caribéenne comme l’atoumo et la brisée soient employées pour divers usages chez nous depuis plusieurs siècles, la commercialisation de produits alimentaires contenant ces ingrédients doit encore faire l’objet d’une autorisation de la part des autorités sanitaires européennes. Une contrainte qu’ignorent certains artisans qui commercialisent des dérivés de nos plantes traditionnelles.

Un nombre croissant d’artisans martiniquais se lancent dans la production de thés, de boissons rafraîchissantes, voire de liqueurs à base d’atoumo, de brisée, et autres plantes stars de la pharmacopée locale. Plongée au cœur d’une activité en pleine expansion.

Audrey Ecrabet se souvient du jour où elle a eu le déclic. C’était il y a un peu moins de trois ans, peu après son retour en Martinique. « Un jour j’étais à la plage et j’avais soif. Mais on ne proposait que du sinobol ou des boissons trop sucrées. Je n’avais pas spécialement envie de consommer cela », se remémore, avec une moue, cette Samaritaine, installée sur les hauteurs du Marigot avec sa petite famille depuis sa reconversion professionnelle.

Legal, procedural issues snag trial of Rajaee Ali and others

Alleged gang leader Rajaee Ali. –

ALLEGED gang leader Rajaee Ali and nine others are nowhere close to going to trial on gang charges as there are outstanding issues of disclosure, representation and refusal of service by some of the men.

Only five of the ten appeared virtually before Magistrate Kerrianne Byer, as four others refused to come to court. A prison officer could not say why the four took that position.

One of the men is expected to advise the court on a new lawyer as his attorney was seeking leave to withdraw in order to pursue studies abroad, while two others are self-represented and will have to say if they will continue doing so.

Another accused, Devaughn Cummings is refusing to accept the service of a summons so he can be properly before the court.

In March, it was realised when the Appeal Court ruled in 2020 that the gang charges against them should be reinstated, they should have been ordered to appear in court via summons. Up until that time, the men were being brought to court by a “court note.”

This situation was rectified but Cummings is insisting as far as he is concerned, he has no matter before the court.

He said when the officer came to serve the summons, he was only told someone was at the prison to see him. He said he refused the visit since he was not told who was there. He also said he is seeking legal advice on what is taking place and until he gets that advice, he will not be waiving his right to proper service.

During Thursday’s sitting, Cummings had to be warned about his outbursts and was told he would be removed if he continued to disturb proceedings.

Byer said she had hoped they would be closer to setting a trial date, but advised she will not give directions until the State serves the four remaining statements, and the issue of representation is sorted out. She had hoped to set a trial date in December.

At the next hearing, she said she will possibly advise attorneys on the filing of defence statements after which trial dates are likely to be set.

Byer also reminded the men of their right to consider entering into plea agreements with the State.

“I am not encouraging you to do anything (I am) only reminding you that is an option.”

Ali quipped, “I cannot plead guilty for a gang if I didn’t have a gang.” The matter was adjourned to October 27.

THE ISSUESThe Appeal Court’s ruling in March 2020, came after it was asked to determine if a blunder by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, in laying the gang charges, resulted in a nullity.

The State applied to have the charges amended, but this was denied by then senior magistrate Indrani Cedeno in May 2016, after the DPP’s office admitted laying charges indictably, as opposed to summarily, as prescribed by the Anti-Gang Act.

In their decision, the Appeal Court judges said the charges were capable of an amendment and were not affected by the six-month limitation period set by statute.

The matter was sent back to a new magistrate and separated from a murder charge some in the group of accused men also face. Some of the men are also charged with the murder of attorney Dana Seetahal, SC, and have been committed to stand trial.

Those before the court are Rajaee Ali, Earl Richards, Leston Gonzales, Devaughn Cummings, Roget Boucher, Ricardo Stewart, Hamid Ali, Kevin Parkinson, Ishmael Ali and Deon Peters – the latter still being unaccounted for in order for the serving of the summons.

Another man, David Ector, was also on gang charges but he and Peters were freed since they were not charged with Seetahal’s murder. Ector was murdered in July 2018.

Representing the State is deputy DPP Tricia Hudlin-Cooper, while representing some of the men are attorneys Roshan Tota-Maharaj, Kirby Joseph, Keresse Khan and Kashief Gibson.

World Bank Calls For Urgent Climate Action In Caribbean, Latin America – St. Lucia Times News

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: St. Lucia Times News

A new World Bank report calls on countries in the region to take urgent action to help reduce the impacts of climate change and set a path for the transition to low-carbon economies.

According to the report, A Roadmap for Climate Action in Latin America and the Caribbean 2021-2025, climate-related disasters such as hurricanes, droughts, fires, and floods are becoming increasingly frequent and intense in the region and are the cause of enormous economic losses.

Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is among the regions most vulnerable to the destructive power of such events, with annual costs due to disruptions in energy and transport infrastructure equivalent to 1 percent of regional GDP and up to 2 percent in some Central American countries.

Furthermore, climate change is expected to have negative impacts on productivity and harvests in several countries in the region.

This could exacerbate acute food insecurity, which increased rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic to affect more than 16 million people across the region, with many families at risk in 2022 due to higher inflation and food prices.

Without action, by 2030, up to 5.8 million people could fall into extreme poverty as a result of climate change, and by 2050 over 17 million people could be forced to leave their homes to escape climate impacts.

“Countries in LAC have a unique opportunity to act swiftly and lead the change towards more resilient and low-carbon economies that foster a better future for their people,” said Carlos Felipe Jaramillo, World Bank Vice President for Latin America and the Caribbean.

“The World Bank has long been a strong partner to the region and as part of our long-term commitment to achieving sustainable and inclusive development, we have stepped up our support, providing about $4.7 billion in climate-related financing during the last year.”

The region is responsible for 8 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. The agricultural sector, together with changes in land use and deforestation, accounts for 47 percent of emissions in LAC, well above the global average of 19 percent. Energy, electricity consumption and transportation account for another 43 percent of emissions.

The report emphasizes opportunities in these areas for both economic growth and services with lower emissions as key to accelerating climate action and leading an urgent transition to low-carbon economies to avoid the irreversible effects of climate change.

“This report offers an ambitious and urgent roadmap for transformative climate action in the region, building on country climate priorities and commitments and focusing on adaptation and resilience, while supporting countries to achieve their low carbon development goals,” said Anna Wellenstein, Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean in sustainable development.

The report highlights several priority areas in key sectors for new and accelerated climate action:

Managing landscapes, agriculture and food systems that include deforestation-free value chains

Decarbonizing power generation, transport systems and manufacturing while reducing infrastructure disruptions

Making cities more resilient to climate shocks and reducing urban emissions

While supporting cross-cutting actions that:

help vulnerable populations adapt to climate change and achieve just and equitable transitions to low carbon economies; and

promote green growth while reducing financial sector risks and anticipating market transitions.

In FY22, the World Bank provided US$4,691 million for climate action in the region, in projects such as:

Climate Resilient and Sustainable Agriculture (Belize)

Resilient Connectivity and Urban Transport Accessibility (Haiti)

Enabling a Green and Resilient Development Policy Financing (Peru)

Second Disaster Risk Management Development Policy Credit (Honduras)

Belgrano Sur Passenger Railway Line Modernization Project (Argentina)

The targets of the Roadmap for Climate Action in Latin America and the Caribbean 2021-2025 are grounded in the World Bank Group’s Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) and fully integrate all parts of the World Bank Group to work with a broad range of partners in the development of multisectoral solutions.

Meteoróloga anticipa a las 11 AM podríamos estar bajo aviso de tormenta tropical

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Radio Isla TV

La meteoróloga Glorián Rivera, del Servicio Nacional de Meteorología en San Juan (SNM), anticipó en RADIO ISLA que a las 11 de la mañana de hoy podríamos estar bajo aviso de tormenta tropical debido al paso del ciclón Fiona. Al momento, Puerto Rico se encuentra bajo vigilancia de tormenta tropical.

Glorián Rivera explicó que el ojo de Fiona debe de estar pasando a unas 60 millas náuticas al Sur de Ponce entre la noche del sábado y la mañana del domingo. Este será el punto más cercano a la isla, pero el radio de los vientos de tormenta se extienden a unas 140 millas del centro. Por ello, toda la isla experimentará vientos de tormenta tropical. Rivera agregó que se esperan de 6 a 8 pulgadas de lluvia para sectores del Este y Sur de la isla. Además, se anticipan hasta 10 pulgadas de lluvia en sectores más aislados.

Según el boletín de las 5 de la mañana del Centro Nacional de Huracanes, la tormenta tropical Fiona tiene vientos sostenidos de 50 millas por hora. Ese fue uno de los cambios más notables entre este y el boletín de las 2 de la mañana ya que redujo la fuerza de sus vientos por 10 millas por hora.

Denuncian que 25 a 30 familias viven en módulos de madera que se podrían caer “con un soplo”

Black Immigrant Daily News

Carmen Villanueva, una líder comunitaria, denunció hoy en RADIO ISLA que entre 25 a 30 familias viven en módulos de madera en la comunidad Ciénaga en Yauco luego de los terremotos del 2020 y que estas viviendas se podrían caer “con un soplo” de viento. Villanueva indicó que esa comunidad es la más cercana a los epicentros de los sismos.

Esto, en momentos en que se aproxima a Puerto Rico la tormenta tropical Fiona y que se anticipa que su ojo pase a unas 60 millas náuticas al Sur de Ponce.

“Estas familias viven en módulos tan pequeños como los que se usan en las fiestas patronales, cuadraditos con paneles y viven alrededor de entre 25 a 30 familias, entre ellos envejecientes”, detalló Villanueva. 

Según Villanueva, ese lugar parece como si hubiesen bombardeado. Las casas están destruidas y los vecinos lograron levantar sus módulos con ayuda de una iglesia y personas de la diáspora.
