This just in 12 persons all nationals of Trinidad and Tobago who were detained.d in Turkey since 2016, have all been deported back to their home country They arrived in Trinidad on Friday, 28, 2017. As I have indicated in numerous post’s on this Blog and on my Soualiga Youth Blog https://soualigayouth.wordpress.com/2017/04/11/regional-guides-to-life-after-islamic-state/ The returning fighters from Trinidad and Tobago who are returning to Trinidad will be a totally new and unpredictable reality not only for that country but they already have and will continue to alter the reality of the region, to the point of no return. Their fighting skill far exceeds that of the regional police, no regional military has seen a quarter of the combat that these combatants have. Their value to say narcotics trafficking cartel or an organization like the Jamaat al-Muslimeen is inestimable. The male combatants who return to the region, are a source of military, know how, a skill which can be outso...

The following is a letter to the editor on 721 News Gromyko Wilson’s local news website. The letter is a damning condemnation of the corrupt system of governance locally and particularly the police corp and all other security and intelligence apparatus on Sint Maarten. The letter came from the KPSM, which stands for the Korps Politie Sint Maarten/The Sint Maarten Police Force. We were not prophets, but we saw it coming. From the decision that 10-10-10 the Antilles would be dissolved, we saw the misery, and we saw it right in our own organization, the Police Force. We saw managers after managers come and go. Waste and drain all the government’s money, without bringing any stabilization or balance in this Force. Nowadays, we’re coping with a management team that had never been prepared for the task that fell into their lap. No strategy, no preparation, no skills, no priority, no vision. In one word nothing at all, and you can see that, because even their own household is not ...

Trinidad is now infamous as the place in the western hemisphere from whence, the most jihadist’s per capita has immigrated (hijrah) to Iraq and Syria. Shane Crawford (deceased) is the most known jihadist, from Trinidad to date. I have written many posts on my Blog about Crawford and jihadism, in a Caribbean context. In any movement whether, fundamentalist or otherwise there must always be forbearers, those who shouldered the burden of responsibility to propagate in behalf of a given message, in the case of a jihadist, such propagation must entail that a jihadist must be prepared to sacrifice his or her life in the furtherance of their goals. One such propagator was Hassan Atwell along with his accomplice (brother in jihad), Scanny Martin. The two men set the stage and tone for all others who desired martyrdom (shuhada), to follow in their footsteps. Bear witness then to their reality in the suicide operation that inspired a generation.         ...

1 James Springette was born in St Thomas US V.I. August 18 1961. 2 James Springette is bilingual; he speaks fluent Spanish and English. 3 He orchestrated several daring jail breaks, both in Colombia and Venezuela, one of the most infamous is when he escaped prison in Colombia, by hiding in a rolled up carpet, which was carted outside by a prison janitor. 4 At his height Spencer Springette’s was one of the most sophisticated indigenous Caribbean operations, that was ever developed its span and the reach of its operations were massive on an international scale.  5 Springette was hands on and maintained several residences in both Venezuela and Colombia. Springette was not only “plugged” in to a cartel, he had his own organization and was not simply an “affiliate”, he was a partner in the operation, evidence of such is the incident in 1996 from which I will quote the Florida Times’ online magazine Jacksonville.com: “ According to previous testimony in federal court, arrests...

On 13 April 2017 at approximately 7:30 pm local time in Nangarhar’s Achin district, in the area of Mamund valley, American forces dropped – according to their statement – the largest non-nuclear bomb known as the ‘mother of all bombs’. This barbarity was followed with much fanfare with the Americans proudly boasting about it in the media thus showcasing the increasing barbarity of the foreign occupation. The use and experimentation of such destructive weapons by foreign occupiers on our war-weary people and in every corner of our war-ravaged country is inexcusable. The Islamic Emirate condemns such barbarity in the strongest of terms and considers its perpetrators as war criminals. Such over-proportionate use of destruction poses long-term detriments for the environment and the development of our nation. The repression of Daesh plots inside Afghanistan is the obligation of Afghans and not of foreigners. If the Americans fear for their security they should foil such plots at their ...
