Re­port­ing from Scar­bor­ough

Po­lit­i­cal par­ties in To­ba­go have ex­pressed shock and con­cern over what they be­lieve may be a Unit­ed States “mil­i­tary base” op­er­at­ing along­side the con­tro­ver­sial US-in­stalled radar at the ANR Robin­son In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port.

On No­vem­ber 30, Guardian Me­dia ob­tained drone footage of the heav­i­ly guard­ed, cor­doned-off fa­cil­i­ty hous­ing the radar. The im­ages show sev­er­al trucks and util­i­ty ve­hi­cles po­si­tioned with­in the re­strict­ed area, along with a small tent and an­oth­er tem­po­rary struc­ture lo­cat­ed close to the equip­ment, sug­gest­ing use for op­er­a­tional or shel­ter pur­pos­es. A num­ber of portable toi­lets were al­so ob­served at the site.
