Des milliers de personnes ?taient ? nouveau dans les rues, dans le chef-lieu du d?partement des Nippes, ce lundi 29 ao?t pour continuer ? d?noncer la chert? de la vie, la raret? du carburant et l’ins?curit?. Ayant d?but? leur course au carrefour Lacroix, les manifestants qui ?taient emp?ch?s de se rendre au centre-ville par la police, ont pris la direction de Chalon, en passant par carrefour Desruisseaux.

La foule qui s’est renforc?e ? Chalon, a tent? vainement une nouvelle fois de se rendre au centre-ville, ? son retour de cette localit? de la premi?re section communale. Les policiers qui avaient entrecrois? leurs v?hicules ? proximit? du tribunal de paix de Mirago?ne, ont fait usage de gaz lacrymog?ne pour disperser la foule, alors que les manifestants s’approchaient les mains en l’air. Ce qui a provoqu? un vent panique ? Desruisseaux o? des riverains couraient dans toutes les directions. Contraints de rebrousser chemin, certains protestataires ont pris la direction de Berquin alors que d’autres rentraient chez eux.

<>, a temp?t? un manifestant.

Touch? par le gaz lacrymog?ne, le professeur Wilfince Mombrun critique, lui aussi, le comportement des policiers. <>, a martel? le psychologue visiblement en col?re, insistant sur le fait qu’il s’agissait d’une manifestation pacifique.

Apr?s la dispersion du cort?ge qui prenait la direction du centre-ville, les agents de la PNH ont intim? l’ordre aux citoyens de rentrer chez eux. <>, a lanc? un agent de l’Unit? d?partementale de maintien de l’ordre (UDMO), dans un porte-voix, depuis sa patrouille.

Apr?s avoir d?fait des barricades dress?es au carrefour Desruisseaux, les agents des forces de l’ordre se sont rendus ? Berquin, localit? de la premi?re section communale o? des centaines de protestataires s’?taient dirig?s en vue de poursuivre la manif. Mais la police a, une nouvelle fois, dispers? la foule ? coup de gaz lacrymog?ne. Environ dix personnes ont ?t? interpell?es ? Berquin, confirme la police des Nippes, via son porte-parole. Il s’agit de : Vitielo Dupervil, Kendy Jean-Baptiste, Stanley Michel, Kilton Pierre, Kenson C?n?, Ronaldson Succ?s, Ben Kenchily Oresca, Loukenson T?z? et Tegov Journal. Selon Astrel Calixte, ils sont accus?s d’avoir lanc? des pierres en direction d’une patrouille polici?re. L’officier de police indique au passage que la police n’a pas ?t? l?galement inform?e de la tenue de la manifestation.

Notons que ce mouvement de protestation fait suite ? une tr?ve de trois jours observ?e, apr?s le sit-in organis? jeudi dernier, dans le cadre la mobilisation lanc?e le lundi 22 ao?t par un groupe de jeunes de la commune, pour d?noncer la chert? de la vie, la raret? du carburant et l’ins?curit?. Pour l’occasion, les activit?s fonctionnaient au ralenti dans la Cit? de Fernand Hibbert. Elles ?taient au point mort au principal march? public de la commune. Des institutions qui fonctionnaient ont d? fermer leurs portes plus t?t que d’habitude. Des barricades ont ?t? signal?es un peu partout dans la commune, en marge de cette manifestation dispers?e par la police.

Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh is in a stable condition at the Arima General Hospital after being admitted with flu-like symptoms on Monday night.

In brief release, the ministry said Deyalsingh first went to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Mt Hope and covid19 was ruled out. He was then transferred to the Arima hospital for “further management and observation.”

In July 2016, Deyalsingh was briefly admitted to the Port of Spain General Hospital for observation after he complained of feeling unwell. He was discharged as his condition improved.

The news of latest Deyalsingh’s hospitalisation follows the disclosure that Trade and Industry Minister Paula Gopee-Scoon is at home in isolation after contracting covid19.

The Prime Minister apologised for her absence during a media conference at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann’s, Monday, to announce a memorandum of understanding between Jamaica and TT on trade and settling trade disagreements.

In July, Dr Rowley caught the virus for a second time, and on both occasions worked while in isolation. Neither Rowley nor the Trade Ministry said whether Gopee-Scoon will do likewise.

Wizkid’s album “Made In Lagos” has been certified Gold by the RIAA.

The Nigerian singer continues to set the trend as he earned a new milestone on Monday (August 29) as the only artist from the continent of Africa to earn a Recording Industry of America Association (RIAA) Gold certification for his album Made in Lagos.

The Nigerian Afrobeat singer-songwriter is a four (4) time Grammy nominated artist, and he won his first Grammy award for “Brown Skin Girl” for his credits on the track by Beyonce.

At the 64th Grammy awards held earlier this year, Wizkid was nominated for Best Global Music Album for Made In Lagos: Deluxe Edition.

Wizkid was also nominated for a Grammy for Best Global Music Performance for the Platinum-selling track, “Essence” featuring Tems.

Wizkid earned his first United States RIAA Gold certification for the Grammy-nominated single “Come Closer,” featuring Canadian rapper Drake.

Earlier this month, he earned his second RIAA Gold certification on August 8th with Beyonce’s “Brown Skin Girl,” which features him and Blue-Ivy Carter.

In the meantime, Wizkid continues to make a name for himself with notable collaborations.

The artist is featured on Chris Brown’s “Call Me Every Day,” which was released on Brown’s ‘Breezy’ album. The song peaked at No. 103 on the Global Billboard 200 chart and also charted in several other countries, including the Netherlands, New Zealand, and South Africa, and several charts in the UK, including the UK Singles and Hip Hop/ R&B chart.

The song also climbed the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at No. 76, while it also dominated the Billboard US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at No. 20.

The singer also seemingly reacted to the new RIAA certification as he shared posts shared by fans announcing the album’s latest accomplishment.

Wizkid’s new EP, More Love Less Ego, was released on August 5th on streaming platforms. The project features 6 tracks with guest features from Vaito and Marickelz.

Lawsuit Against T&T Over CLICO/BAICO To Proceed

Black Immigrant Daily News

Eastern Caribbean governments have agreed to take legal action against the government of Trinidad and Tobago over its failure to complete compensatory payments for CLICO/British American Insurance Company (BAICO) policy holders in the sub-region.

Antigua and Barbuda’s Prime Minister Gaston Browne, who chairs the OECS Insurance Minister’s Sub-committee, said the group met last Friday and agreed to proceed with the lawsuit over the intransigence of Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister, Dr.  Keith Rowley, on the matter.

Browne assumed chairmanship of the ministerial committee about a year ago, and in that capacity he wrote to Dr. Rowley asking him to deliver on a commitment by a previous Trinidad and Tobago administration to pay US$100 million to policy holders in the OECS after the insurance and investment company went belly-up several years ago leaving policy holders holding an empty bag.

He revealed that of the amount, US$40 million has been paid leaving an outstanding balance of US$60 million.

According to Browne, the letters to his T&T counterpart, the last being sent just three weeks ago, have gone unanswered.

“For the last seven years we have been trying to engage Dr. Rowley to have a sit-down and to see how we may resolve the issue. I have to tell you, all of the efforts to engage Dr. Rowley have failed.

“Several years ago, we contemplated taking this issue to court, but we decided to press on with the hope that Dr. Rowley would engage.

“The letters that I wrote to him have been acknowledged, but Dr. Rowley has been contemptuous and [has] not responded to any of the letters sent,” PM Browne revealed.

While Browne is of the view that Rowley is unlikely to back down from his stance, however, he insists that OECS leaders have a responsibility to act in the interest of the people of the sub-region who invested millions into the failed company.

“On the basis that all diplomatic efforts fail, we have to, as a last resort, engage legal counsel to pursue the outstanding amounts.

“I chaired a meeting on Friday and the decision to pursue legal action at the Caribbean Court of Justice, in its original jurisdiction, to get relief for our policyholders in the OECS,” he declared.

The prime minister said that sometime within the coming weeks the committee will meet again to review the matter and move forward with determination to have the matter resolved to the benefit of the OECS clients and investors in CLICO/BAICO. POINTE XPRESS

Aux fun?railles de la femme et des filles de Me Desanclos, il n’y a pas eu de cercueils mais des urnes fun?raires et des photos des assassin?es. Au Pax Villa, Me Simson Desanclos a d?crit une relation de complicit? et de confiance entre ses filles. <>, a tristement d?clar? Me Desanclos.

<>, s’est indign? Me Desanclos. Selon l’homme de loi, le crime odieux commis contre sa femme et ses filles r?volte la conscience et ne doit pas rester impuni. <>, a-t-il fait remarquer, rappelant que Cit? Doudoune est la zone d’influence du gang dirig? par Lanm? san Jou.

Malgr? son amertume, Me Simson Desanclos a quand m?me trouv? le courage de remercier ses proches pour leur support. <>, a-t-il d?clar?.
