In our twin island paradise crime, criminal behavior, and gang wars have been escalating over the past decade or so. Recently as a result of a series of homicides the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago has issued a state of emergency.
As of today, eight days after it was put in place nearly 1000 people have been arrested for gang related offences, criminal acts, illegal possession of fire arms, drugs and outstanding warrants.
The state of emergency have place many citizens under serious stress. Some areas of our country have been placed under curfew. On Friday 2nd September, the day after we celebrate our countrys 49th year of independence, the Prime Minister, Mrs. Kamla Persad Bessessar will extend the state of emergency further. For me personally, it affects my Academic studies and my freedom of movement, not withstanding the fact that I do not reside in areas where the curfew exist.
