The Joint Trade Union Movement (JTUM), a key ally of the UNC government, is supporting a vigil for peace, which suggests that the Caribbean should remain a zone of peace.

The vigil, organised by eight local civil society groups, is scheduled to be held at Woodford Square, Port of Spain, on November 9, from 5 to 7 pm.

Since September 2, a total of 70 people suspected of being involved in narco-trafficking have been killed in US strikes in both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, while travelling in pirogues and in one case a semi-submersible.
