About 20 people held a peaceful demonstration across from the US Embassy on October 24 at the Queen’s Park Savannah, Port of Spain, denouncing what they described as US aggression in the Caribbean.

Participants including activists and representatives of civil society organisations, called for the protection of regional sovereignty and preservation of the Caribbean as a “zone of peace”.

Radio/television host and new mother Abeo Jackson, standing in the heat, said she felt compelled to act in response to what she called a grave violation of Caribbean sovereignty.
