Crime and violence are regional issues, therefore, a collaborative and systematic approach is needed to curtail its rise.

Prime Minister of Jamaica Andrew Holness shared the view as he noted that both Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago have been faced with similar challenges relating to the escalation of crime and violence.

Holness was delivering remarks at the opening of the Dr Eric Williams Memorial Library in Port of Spain, Trinidad on Tuesday.

The event was part of Trinidad and Tobago’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

Prime Minister Holness is in the country on the invitation of Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley.

Both Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica are celebrating 60 years of Independence this month.

The Jamaican prime minister said: “The challenges of our time from the global financial crises, pandemics, catastrophic weather events, hurricanes and other climate-related issues, food, energy and security.

“These are particularly difficult times globally, for our regional family, for our local households and communities. And, those charged with leadership have a particularly difficult time, but we who are charged with leadership must give leadership.”

Holness said being faced with these challenges, Caribbean nations’ leadership cannot resile in the face of difficulties, but must press on and act in the best interest of the people.

He said Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago have increased cooperation in a number of critical areas as part of ongoing strategic dialogue.

As part of these conversations, there has been focus on capacity building through exchange of expertise and experience, including in the areas of trade and investment, education, security and air services.

Holness added that: “We do, however, face a new frontier of challenge, and that is violence gripping our nations.

“Prime Minister Rowley and myself, I think we had a very good conversation as to the directions governments can take.”

The Jamaican prime minister said he is hopeful that these talks will bear fruit with a greater policy thrust towards treating with the challenges facing both nations.

Raphaël Confiant, écrivain et universitaire

Raphaël Confiant sort, aux éditions Orphie (La Réunion), son deuxième dictionnaire créole martiniquais-français. L’occasion de rencontrer l’auteur pour faire un point sur l’évolution de la langue créole.

Quel était votre objectif pour le 1er dictionnaire créole martiniquais-français ?

La Martinique était, en 2007, lors de la sortie de la première version de mon dictionnaire, le seul territoire à ne pas en posséder un. C’était paradoxal puisque le campus de Schœlcher, plus précisément la faculté des lettres et sciences humaines, était devenu l’épicentre des « études créoles » des Petites Antilles et de la Guyane grâce au professeur Jean Bernabé et au Gerec (Groupe…

Même s’il est tentant de les toucher, jouer avec une étoile de mer ou la sortir de l’eau peut s’avérer fatal pour ce petit animal marin. Sur la plage à l’Anse-Mitan, Sébastien Alexandre-Alexis, équipier premiers secours sur la ville, veille au grain.

«Depuis quelques temps, les étoiles de mer échouent sur le rivage, indique Sébastien Alexandre-Alexis, arborant un tee-shirt blanc avec le logo de la Ville. Probablement plus fragiles en période de reproduction, elles ont été ramenées par de forts courants. Ces échouages pourraient être liés aussi aux arrivées de bateaux. Il y en qui ont 6 branches, c’est rare et joli à voir. Mais lorsque je prends le service au matin, j’en trouve qui sont mortes ou qui flottent au-dessus de…

D’ici quelques semaines, la marque de cosmétiques naturels « Liquid Sunshine », fabriqués à Sainte-Anne en Martinique, n’existera probablement plus, à la suite d’une plainte déposée par la maison « Dior ». Leurs créateurs devront trouver un autre nom à leur société. 

La nouvelle leur est tombée comme un coup de massue. Fin novembre 2021, aux aurores, Coralie Thaly et Kenji Pastel reçoivent de la société Dior un premier mail, daté du 25 octobre 2021, leur demandant d’enlever du circuit avant fin décembre tous leurs produits de la marque « Liquid Sunshine ». Dior reproche aux jeunes entrepreneurs une confusion entre cette marque et un de ses produits, une eau auto-bronzante répondant au nom de « Dior Bronze – Soleil liquide », dont la…

Travel in Threes: Pretty Pretty

NEWYou can now listen to Loop News articles!

Whether she’s travelling for dancing internationally, or staycationing for work as the up-and-coming dancehall that she is, dancer/deejay Pretty Pretty loves to book a flight.

Last #traveltuesday, a fellow member of PRT (the dancing group named after each member Pretty Pretty, Rebel, and TC aka Keticia Chatman), Rebel named her top three travel stops in a similar style. You can watch that video here.

This #traveltuesday, Pretty Pretty – who’s travelled with Rebel on several occasions — lists Canada among her top three places to travel to.

Pretty Pretty, (whose real name is Tashlicka Laird), is known for her infectious songs Buzzy and SAD EEH, the newcomer to the deejay arena was less than humble, and became quite animated as she spoke of her favourite travel stops.
