National observance for July 27
PRESIDENT Paula-Mae Weekes believes there should be a national observance to mark the July 27, 1990 attempted coup. The President expressed this view in a statement today, 28 years after the attempted coup took place.
She said such an observance would "mark the significance of one of the darkest days in our history." Weekes continued, "Such a commemoration would demonstrate an awareness and recognition of the ordeal of those who suffered and died; show our appreciation for the members of our armed forces who intervened and risked their lives to ensure that the insurrection did not spread further; and serve as an annual reminder to remain vigilant in preserving our hard-won democracy."

Need just three accounts, do not need your personal information or anything.
1. Where were you on the day (July 27th, 1990) when the attempted coup took place?
Walking back from my aunt's. Time i reached home, Abu Bakr was on the TV
2. At that time where were you working? (Just the general area is fine I don’t need the name of the company etc.).
Nope. Was 9 at the time.
3. What was your first plan of action to take on the first day on the attempted coup?
Did not understand the severity of what was happening. But Arima was far from the action so it felt like any normal evening.
4. Can you tell me one of the most memorable events/ experience that took place during those 6 days that happened to you?
The curfew was on but we used to sneak through the bush to go to another aunt's house.
This one had a clear view of what i understand was another Arima police station that up to that time, i never saw active.
Like i said, we used to take a chance and visit my aunt and get stories of what was going on. We used to hear a lot of stories of how people caught breaking curfews got a good cutass amd arrest.
There was an ominous feeling seeing that police station so active.
5. How did the 1990 attempted coup affect you?

but justice clebert brooks turn around and say it was a good amnesty so abu and them get away scot free laughing
the privy council reversed the decision donkey years later but say too late to do anything so hymc
and by that time muslimeen were the premier gang in the country(and jail)
its a shame that little is ever said about this legal faux pas by the folks in the ivory tower that call themselves legal experts.
at the end of the day civilians trying to make decisions for a terrorist military scenario could never work out properly
next time shoot first and ask questions laterMaxPower wrote:ADONI wrote:I don't understand how a man who shot the Prime Minister, is still allowed to breathe.... Trinidad is not a real place!
