Easy win for Pride

PORT OF SPAIN – A sensational spell of fast bowling from Akeem Jordan helped to spearhead the Barbados Pride to a comfortable seven-wicket victory over Leeward Islands Hurricanes in their CG United Super50 Cup

encounter at the Queen’s Park Oval yesterday.

The right-arm seamer bagged five wickets to first restrict the Hurricanes to 138 in 25.1 overs, after which Zachary Mccaskie and captain Kyle Mayers helped themselves to half-centuries to see the Pride home with relative ease at 139 for three.

Jordan, who finished with five for 39 to record his second five-wicket haul at this level, was elated by his performace.

“It actually feels pretty good. We put in a lot of hard work before coming to Trinidad. We only had like one practice session since we got here because of the weather. And to go there and bowl like that, it makes me feel very good because the hard work that we put in at home still shows,” he said during the mid-innings break.

The 31-year-old admitted that the pitch looked like it would favour bowlers.

Bearing immediate fruit

“When I saw it, I saw there was a bit of moisture in it, you know, a bit of grass, something in it for the bowlers if we happen to bowl first. My mindset was if we do bowl first, just look to get my straps running.”

After winning the toss, Mayers sent in the Hurricanes, with the decision bearing immediate fruit. In just the second over of the day, with just three runs on the board, Jordan shattered the stumps of opener Kofi James for a first-ball duck.

Four runs later, Jordan was in business once again as Carlon Bowen-Tuckett was caught by Mayers for four, to leave the Hurricanes losing their storm force winds early.

The Hurricanes limped to 12 runs, but the disastrous start just got worse, as they lost their next four wickets for a mere two runs.

Left-arm spinner Joshua Bishop got in on the act, as he picked up the scalp of captain Karima Gore, who was caught for two.

Jordan then bowled Tyrone Williams for a duck, before Bishop picked up two more wickets in the fifth over when he had opener Mykyle Louis caught for four and had Jewel Andrew caught for a duck.

At 14 for six, a paltry score was always going to be on the cards; but, some brisk late order hitting from Jahmar Hamilton and Nathan Edwards helped to get the Hurricanes over the 100-run mark.

Edward got to 49 after facing 39 balls with ten fours, but he went for one shot too many and was bowled by Javed Leacock. Hamilton used up 51 balls in getting to 45, but he was the last wicket to fall with the score on 138.

That score was never going to be enough on what was still a good batting surface, even as the Hurricanes got the early wicket of opener Leniko Boucher for nine at 19 for one.

Skipper Mayers ensured that his team kept the run chase intact, as he and McCaskie put on a 111-run second-wicket partnership. Mayers got to 55, with three fours and four sixes, before he was caught off Edward.

Five runs later, Edward struck again, as McCaskie followed his captain back into the pavilion after scoring a well-played 60 from 59 balls with five fours and two sixes.

Kraigg Brathwaite, batting down the order, along with Kevin Wickham, scored three and four respectively to see the Pride over the line without further loss, at 138 for three in 23.3 overs.

In the other early secondround encounter, the match between the Windward Islands Volcanoes and the Guyana Harpy Eagles at the Frank Worrell Memorial Ground at the University of the West Indies was abandoned without a ball being bowled. (CMC/HG)

US revokes visa of NGO official critical of US presence in the Caribbean waters

US revokes visa of NGO official critical of US presence in the Caribbean waters

The Trinidad and Tobago government has sought to distance itself from a decision taken by the United States to revoke the visa of the corporate secretary of the non-governmental organisation, Fishermen and Friends of the Sea (FFOS), Gary Aboud.

Aboud said he had received the information from the United States Embassy here, that his B1/B2 Visa for travel to the United States had been prudentially revoked.

“This email is considered official notification of that revocation,” it stated, adding that the action is “based on the fact” that additional information became available after the visa was issued indicating that Aboud may be “inadmissible” to the United States and there ineligible to receive a visa.

Aboud, who has been critical of the US naval presence near Venezuela in recent weeks, said for 28 years, FFOS has championed equity, justice, sustainable development, and the protection of vulnerable grassroots and coastal communities.

“Today, however, we face an alarming reality: NGOs are being silenced. NGOs are not enemies of the State; we are a critical pillar of any functioning democracy. Without an independent civil society holding power to account, there can be no transparency, no oversight, and no protection against abuses of authority.

“FFOS will always support our Prime Minister in a strong, lawful, and effective fight against the drug and arms trade. We will never condone unlawful killings or abandon the principles of justice and due process that protect us all,” the FFOS said in a statement.

In a statement posted on X, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar distanced her government from the US decision saying that Aboud in announcing that his visa had been revoked “raised several questions and made a number of incendiary statements that must be responsibly and firmly addressed.

“First and foremost, the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago has absolutely no involvement in the decisions or actions taken by the Government of the United States or the U.S. Embassy in Trinidad and Tobago regarding their visa or immigration policies. These matters fall solely within the jurisdiction of the United States Government. Any concerns or requests for clarification or redress must be directed to the appropriate U.S. authorities.”

She said |we are blessed to live in a strong and vibrant democracy where freedom of speech and the right to expression are fully protected and have never been interfered with.

“Contrary to Mr. Aboud’s assertions, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) are not being silenced. Such an inflammatory allegation is reckless, misleading, and risks causing unnecessary fear.

“I categorically state that there has never been – and will never be – any attempt by my Government to intimidate, punish, or suppress the voices of civil society. In fact, when a former Prime Minister recently called a press conference at his “office” and made a host of unfounded claims, I made it clear that he is free to speak. That is how democracy works, and my Government will always uphold that principle.

“Let me be clear: the true enemies of Trinidad and Tobago and the wider region are the narco-traffickers, human traffickers, gun runners, and the transnational criminal cartels responsible for unprecedented levels of bloodshed, violence, and suffering in our country.”

Persad-Bissessar, who is on record as saying that those involved in the illegal drugs trade should be killed “violently” said “I stand by my position that these dangerous criminals must be confronted decisively.

“My Government firmly supports the United States and our international partners in their mission to combat transnational trafficking and dismantle criminal networks that prey on our citizens.”

She accused the former administration of leaving “our borders dangerously exposed – allowing unchecked entry of illegal immigrants, members of violent gangs such as Tren de Aragua, and an influx of guns, drugs, and trafficked persons.

“For the first time in many years, the presence of the U.S. Marines and military assets in our region has contributed significantly to reducing the flow of illicit weapons and drugs into Trinidad and Tobago. Their partnership is welcomed, and their results are evident.

“My Government remains committed to strengthening regional security, protecting our citizens, and working alongside international partners – including the United States -to ensure that peace, safety, and the rule of law prevail in Trinidad and Tobago.

President Donald Trump has ramped up US military presence in the Caribbean Sea ordering an amphibious squadron to the southern Caribbean as part of his effort to address threats from Latin American drug cartels.

A nuclear-powered attack submarine, additional P8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft, several destroyers and a guided-missile cruiser  have also being allocated to US Southern Command as part of the mission. In addition, the US largest carrier, the Gerald Forde has joined the build-up

But the United States military has been bombing vessels in the international waters claiming that the occupants were drug traffickers without offering any evidence of such activity.

The United Nations UN High Commissioner for Human Rights also strongly condemned the airstrikes carried out by the United States against alleged drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean and Pacific.

Volker Türk said in a statement that the strikes “violate international human rights law”, demanding that they be stopped immediately.

Last month, the Guyana-based CARICOM Secretariat said that regional leaders had discussed several issues on the regional agenda, including the security build-up in parts of the Caribbean and its potential impact on member states.

It said that the position at that meeting was not endorsed by the government of Trinidad and Tobago.

Aboud said that the FFOS cannot condone extra-judicial killings.

“The end does not justify these unlawful and violent murders. The fight against narcotics must be rooted in the rule of law, due process, and respect for human rights,” he said, criticising the US attacks on Venezuelan vessels, describing them as lethal attacks carried out under the claim of counter-narcotics operations but in violation of international law.

Aboud highlighted that the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights called the strikes “unacceptable” and demanded an independent investigation, while Human Rights Watch deemed them “extrajudicial killings”.

He also questioned why the Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar has publicly endorsed violent action while failing to condemn the deaths of two Trinidadians in the strikes. (CMC)

Residents shaken by back-to-back deadly shootings

Residents shaken by back-to-back deadly shootings

The close-knit community of Goddings Road, Station Hill, St Michael, is reeling after two fatal shootings within just four days left residents questioning the safety of their once-peaceful neighbourhood.

The violence began on Sunday, November 16, when 33-year-old Kereen Ackeem Holder was shot and killed along the Station Hill main road shortly after 5:15 p.m. Just three days later, on Wednesday, November 19, 25-year-old Jelani Javon Greaves was fatally shot around 8 p.m. in the veranda of a residence on Goddings Road. Their deaths marked the 43rd and 45th homicides for the year.

For residents who have called this area home for years, the back-to-back tragedies have shattered any remaining sense of security.

An individual, who requested to remain anonymous out of concern for her safety, described the constant anxiety that now defines her daily routine.

“Whenever I hear any noise I does shut my door fast,” she said as she recounted the Sunday evening shooting.

“I was sleeping but it wake me up in one when I hear the noise.”

The incident has forced her to dramatically alter her business operations.

“When I see a certain time I does shut shop . . . When I hear certain commotions like fighting, I shut down; I don’t care how early it is.”

Her heightened vigilance stems not just from the recent shootings but from a frightening experience years ago when men chased someone directly into her place of business. The pursued man jumped over her counter and hid in her home, forcing her son to call the police.

Now, she relies on faith to get through each day.

“I does pray and ask God to protect me. That’s all I can do right now.”

For Leslie, a longtime resident who grew up on First Avenue in Station Hill, the recent violence represents a heartbreaking departure from the community he once knew.

“Personally it’s sad to know that a neighbourhood I grew up in has come to this,” he reflected.

“I grew up in the first avenue in a complete different era where it was a community but now it’s something totally different.”

The loss of two young lives particularly troubles him.

“The sad part of it is that a mother and father is losing their child because of incidents that could have been resolved otherwise,” he said.

“It seems that this generation does not know how to resolve the conflict without resorting to drastic measures.”

Despite the violence on his doorstep, Leslie maintains he is not overly concerned about his personal safety though he acknowledges the unpredictability of modern life.

“I feel alright otherwise. I’m not really concerned about my safety because I don’t get into anything. Although nowadays you never know.”

He believes the solution lies in sustained parental guidance.

“Parents need to continue giving guidance to their children. You can’t stop talking to your children once they get big. You have to keep telling them and drilling it in their head what is right. Then, it might stick and register.”

Not all residents share the same level of alarm. Another anonymous resident insisted that the shootings don’t reflect the true character of the area.

“I don’t have any concerns. This place is a quiet place and what went down is just two men from in the street fighting and it could have been avoided.

“That not something that really goes on in here. Everybody looks out for one another. You can’t come in this street and do anything to anybody,” he said. (DDS)

Nigeria sees one of worst mass abductions as 315 taken from school

Nigeria sees one of worst mass abductions as 315 taken from school

More than 300 children and staff are now thought to have been kidnapped by gunmen from a Catholic school in central Nigeria, making it one of the worst mass abductions the country has seen.

The Christian Association of Nigeria said 303 students and 12 teachers were taken from on St Mary’s School in Papiri, Niger state – substantially more than previously estimated.

It said the figures have been revised upwards “after a verification exercise”.

The kidnapping comes amid a surge of attacks by armed groups. The revised number of people taken surpasses the 276 abducted during the infamous Chibok mass abduction of 2014.

Local police said armed men stormed the school at around 02:00 local time (01:00 GMT) on Friday morning, abducting students who were staying there.

Dominic Adamu, whose daughters attend the school but were not taken, told the BBC: “Everybody is weak… it took everybody by surprise.”

One distressed woman tearfully told the BBC that her nieces, aged six and 13, had been kidnapped, adding: “I just want them to come home.”

Police said that security agencies were “combing the forests with a view to rescue the abducted students”.

It was initially reported that 215 pupils had been taken – but that figure has since been revised upwards. The new number is believed to be almost half of the school’s student population, the news agency AFP reports.

Authorities in Niger state said the school had disregarded an order to close all boarding facilities following intelligence warnings of a heightened risk of attacks.

They said in a statement the move exposed pupils and staff to “avoidable risk”. The school has not commented on that claim.

The kidnapping of people for ransom by criminal gangs, known locally as bandits, has become a major problem in many parts of Nigeria.

The payment of ransoms has been outlawed in an attempt to cut the supply of money to the criminal gangs – but this has had little effect.

Friday’s mass abduction was the third such attack in the country in a week.

On Monday, more than 20 schoolgirls, who the BBC has been told are Muslim, were kidnapped from a boarding school in neighbouring Kebbi state.

A church was also attacked further south, in Kwara state, with two people killed and 38 others abducted.

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has postponed his foreign trips – including to this weekend’s G20 summit in South Africa – in order to address the security concerns.

The central government has ordered more than 40 federal colleges to close and public schools in some states have been shut.

But the rising insecurity is fuelling anger as well as fear in Nigeria, with citizens demanding stronger action to protect children and communities.

The mass abduction follows claims by right-wing figures in the US, including President Donald Trump, that Christians are being persecuted in Nigeria – an allegation dismissed by the Nigerian government.

For months, campaigners and politicians in Washington have been alleging that Islamist militants are systematically targeting Christians in Nigeria.

Earlier this month, Trump said he would send troops into Nigeria “guns a-blazing” if the African nation’s government “continues to allow the killing of Christians”.

The Nigerian government has called claims that Christians are being persecuted “a gross misrepresentation of reality”.

An official said that “terrorists attack all who reject their murderous ideology – Muslims, Christians and those of no faith alike”.

In the north-east, jihadist groups have been battling the state for more than a decade.

Organisations monitoring violence say most of the victims of these groups are Muslim because most attacks happen in the majority Muslim north of the country.

In the centre of Nigeria, there are also frequently deadly attacks between herders – who are mostly Muslim – on farmers, who are largely Christian.

However, analysts say these are often motivated by competition for resources, such as water or land, rather than religion.

The militant Islamist group Boko Haram took 276 girls from their school in the town of Chibok 2014.

The incident courted international attention and sparked a global campaign seeking their return, which included an intervention from then-US First Lady Michelle Obama.

Many have since either escaped or been freed – but as many as 100 still remain missing. (BBC News)

Ukraine allies to hold talks on White House peace plan at G20

Ukraine allies to hold talks on White House peace plan at G20

Ukraine’s allies will seek to “strengthen” a US plan to end the war with Russia when they meet at the G20 summit in South Africa, UK PM Sir Keir Starmer has said.

The summit begins a day after President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Ukraine faced “one of the most difficult moments in our history” over pressure to accept the plan – leaked details of which have been seen as favourable to Moscow.

Zelensky held phone talks with Sir Keir and the leaders of France and Germany on Friday. Afterwards, the PM said Ukraine’s “friends and partners” remained committed to securing a “lasting peace once and for all”.

Neither US President Donald Trump nor Russian President Vladimir Putin are attending the G20.

The widely leaked US peace plan includes proposals that Kyiv had previously ruled out, including ceding eastern areas it currently controls.

Washington has been pressing Kyiv to accept and sent senior Pentagon officials to Ukraine earlier this week to discuss the proposals.

But there is nervousness in Europe over what has been perceived as a set of terms heavily slanted in Moscow’s favour. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas called the prospect of it being adopted a “very dangerous moment”.

According to news agency Reuters, she told reporters: “We all want this war to end, but how it ends matters. Russia has no legal right whatsoever to any concessions from the country it invaded, ultimately the terms of any agreement are for Ukraine to decide.”

Ahead of the talks at the G20, Sir Keir said gathered leaders would “discuss the current proposal on the table, and in support of President Trump’s push for peace, look at how we can strengthen this plan for the next phase of negotiations”.

He continued: “Not a day has passed in this war where Ukraine hasn’t called for Russia to end its illegal invasion, roll back its tanks and lay down its guns.

“Ukraine has been ready to negotiate for months, while Russia has stalled and continued its murderous rampage.

“That is why we must all work together, with both the US and Ukraine, to secure a just and lasting peace once and for all.”

As part of the White House’s plan, Ukraine would be obliged to cut the size of its army and pledge not to join the Nato military alliance, a long-held Kremlin demand.

Trump warned on Friday that Ukraine would lose more territory to Russia “in a short amount of time” and that Zelensky “is going to have to approve” the plan.

The US president said he had given Ukraine until Thursday to agree to the plan – Thanksgiving in the US – which he described as an “appropriate” deadline.

Russian troops have been making slow advances along the vast front line, despite reported heavy losses.

Ukraine relies on deliveries of US-manufactured advanced weaponry to arms its forces, including air defence systems.

Kyiv has also been dependent on intelligence provided by Washington since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

US Vice-President JD Vance said on Friday that it was a “fantasy that if we just give more money, more weapons, or more sanctions, victory is at hand”.

During a meeting with his security cabinet on Friday, Putin confirmed the US had presented its proposed peace plan, and said it could be the “basis” for a settlement – though added detailed talks on its terms had not yet been held in the Kremlin.

He said Russia was willing to “show flexibility” but was also prepared to fight on.

In a 10-minute address in front of the presidential office in Kyiv, Zelensky warned that Ukraine would face “a lot of pressure… to weaken us, to divide us”.

“We’re not making loud statements,” he went on, “we’ll be calmly working with America and all the partners… offering alternatives” to the proposed peace plan.

In perhaps the strongest language since the plan was proposed, the Ukraine president’s office said on Saturday that Kyiv “will never be an obstacle for peace” but that representatives would “defend legitimate interests of the Ukrainian people and the foundations of European security”.

Zelensky has had to strike a careful balance between Kyiv’s interests and maintaining cordial ties with Trump, with whom he had a public falling-out at the White House earlier this year and who has appeared at times frustrated at the lack of progress in peace talks.

His reaction to the US plan has been measuredly worded – though he did admit on Friday that Ukraine “might face a very difficult choice: either losing dignity, or risk losing a key partner”.

The White House has pushed back on claims that Ukraine was frozen out of the drafting of the proposal.

An unnamed US official told CBS News, the BBC’s US media partner, that the plan was drawn up “immediately” following discussions with Ukraine’s top security official Rustem Umerov, who agreed to the majority of it.

The leaked draft proposes Ukrainian troops’ withdrawal from the part of the eastern Donetsk region that they currently control, giving Russia de facto control of Donetsk, as well as the neighbouring Luhansk region and the southern Crimea peninsula Moscow annexed in 2014.

Russia currently controls around 20% of Ukrainian territory.

Kyiv would receive “reliable security guarantees”, the plan says, though no details have been given.

The document says “it is expected” that Russia will not invade its neighbours and that Nato will not expand further.

The draft also suggests Russia will be “reintegrated into the global economy”, through the lifting of sanctions and by inviting Russia to rejoin the G7 group of the world’s most powerful countries – making it the G8 again. (BBC News)

Higher earnings expected from tourism, says minister

Higher earnings expected from tourism, says minister

Barbados is on track to rake in higher tourism earnings this year.

Minister of Tourism and International Transport Ian Gooding-Edghill made the disclosure yesterday during the State of the Tourism Industry Update forum at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre, Two Mile Hill, St Michael.

“We were able to increase tourism earnings in 2024 by $418.7 million compared to the same period [the previous] year,” the minister told tourism stakeholders.

In a forum in which the heads of various Government tourism and tourism-related departments gave accounts of individual performances yearto- date, Gooding-Edghill said the demand for Barbados as a tourism destination remained high despite competition from other destinations.

For this reason, he said he was pushing ahead with his airlift efforts to get more flights from existing and potential source markets into Barbados, to ensure the beds in the 1 600 new hotel rooms due to come on stream over the next four years will be filled.

Airlift

He thanked the Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. for its marketing efforts and said: “Overall, it is safe to say that we

have done, compared to the last winter season, a relatively good job.

“I can also tell you that the expansive efforts that we have made in relation to our airlift strategy continue to yield positive dividends for Barbados and markets that we once had access to going back ten or 11 years ago, have returned.”

Gooding-Edghill also made reference to the Canadian market, which had a record performance in 1979.

“I believe even though it has dwindled somewhat we are now back on track and I believe very shortly that we can get back that record . . . because it is our will to drive more business from that market,” he said.

More business into the Barbados market, he added, would mean business for the whole gamut of people involved in the tourism industry.

Improving seasonality in the sector must continue to be high on the tourism agenda, the minister added. (GC)

Concern over US military build-up

Concern over US military build-up

There is concern about the increasing United States military presence in the Caribbean and the implications for the region’s tourism industry.

Chief executive officer of Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. Andrea Franklin listed this among the “global headwinds” against which Barbados’ tourism must battle, while giving the BTMI’s update on the State of the Tourism Industry at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre yesterday.

She said tourism continued to register encouraging growth, noting “it has not been an easy year”.

“Across several of our major source markets, geo-political turmoil has led to a noticeable drop in consumer confidence . . . . At the same time and more recently in the Caribbean, we have seen greater military presence in the region, which raises some concern for us,” Franklin said, noting the island continued to show resilience against “these global headwinds”.

Steady growth

She cautioned, however, that it was “not a moment for comfort”.

In a performance overview, Franklin reported steady growth in tourism business across the island’s main source markets, with long-stay visitor arrivals to date this year increasing by 5.3 per cent, reflecting “steady recovery and diversification across the key source markets”. She said the United States remained the main driver of growth for the year, accounting for 35.2 per cent of total arrivals.

She noted the European and CARICOM markets also recorded increased performances, while there were slight declines in arrivals from the United Kingdom and Canada. In addition, there was “notable growth” in the cruise sector, with intransit cruise passenger arrivals increasing by more than 31 per cent even as the number of cruise calls declined.

Despite such an encouraging performance, the BTMI head said it “has not been an easy year” for Barbados’ tourism.

Franklin appealed to all tourism stakeholders to put their heads together and “foster a greater sense of collaboration as we chart the path forward

and move into the winter season and 2026”.

She said the BTMI was fully aligned around seven strategic objectives designed to strengthen competitiveness, build resilience and ensure tourism’s benefits were felt across every community in Barbados.

Franklin added the BTMI’s strategy was to intensify Barbados’ presence in its key source markets, through the use of its Data Analytic, the deepening of airline and trade partnerships and strong demand generation campaigns.

Market diversification

She said market diversification was “no longer optional but essential”, while giving notice of plans for Barbados to expand its reach into new markets beyond Latin America and niche European regions.

“We are strengthening our ties with targeted African markets where cultural connection, shared history and rising out-bound travel align with Barbados’ strengths. We are unlocking high value luxury-driven travel demand from the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait and we are also looking at other new options, including East Asia and the Oceanic regions.”

Above all, Franklin appealed for greater collaboration and deeper engagement from all partners involved in the tourism business in order to expand the island’s offerings while building a more resilient industry. ( GC)
