    Gabriel Calderon nouveau sélectionneur national

    C’est un hispano argentin, M. Gabriel Calderon Pelegrino, qui a pris les commandes de la sélection nationale de football.
    Le comité de normalisation a fait un choix de proximité, puisque M. Calderon est depuis deux ans conseiller technique de la Fédération.

    Le fils de l’ancien international argentin est détenteur d’une licence de coach pro mais n’aurait pas d’expérience d’entraineur en chef.
    Il a eu des contrats avec des clubs espagnols notamment Real Betis et Malaga.

    Le comité de normalisation a confié la mission de la participation à la Gold Cup à cet entraineur de 37 ans.
    Il devra relever un défi de taille en moins de de deux mois.
    Ayant en mémoire l’exploit de 2019 les haïtiens espèrent une bonne prestation des grenadiers à la Gold Cup 2023. Au premier tour Haïti se retrouve en compagnie du Mexique, du Honduras et du Quatar.

    M. Calderon, devrait avoir un bon carnet d’adresse puisqu’il a collaboré avec l’UEFA et entrainé des clubs en Espagne.

    Les bandits de Ti Makak anéantis

    Les résidents des quartiers populeux de la région métropolitaine affichent une ferme détermination à anéantir les gangs armés. Le démantèlement du gang de Ti Makak témoigne de la collaboration entre les forces de l’ordre et les citoyens.

    C’est un mariage entre la population et la police, a laissé entendre le chef de la police, Frantz Elbe, évoquant la synergie entre les citoyens en colère et les policiers.
    Les bandits du gang de Ti Makak n’ont point de refuge.
    Hier 5 d’entre eux ont été lynchés dans le bidonville de Jalousie, a Pétion ville.

    Repérés par des résidents de la zone ils ont été capturés et tués. Un sixième membre du groupe, une jeune femme, a été remise aux forces de l’ordre.

    Les bandits en fuite ont été trahis par leur comportement. Ils se faisaient passer pour des marchands ambulants d’eau potable.
    L’alerte contre ces bandits avait été donnée en début de semaine par les habitants de Thomassin.
    Ils avaient également alerté sur la fuite d’un autre groupe du gang vers les mornes de Martissant et Fontamarra.

    Les résidants de Laboule et de Thomassin affichent une ferme détermination à empêcher un éventuel retour des bandits.
    Ils appellent les résidents ayant fui la zone à revenir dans leurs demeures.

  • Les lynchages se poursuivent  à Port au Prince

    Les lynchages se poursuivent  à Port au Prince

    Au moins 5 présumés bandits ont été lynchés à Pétion-ville ce 2 mai 2023 par des membres de la population.

    Selon certains témoignages, des habitants du quartier de « Jalousie » les accusaient d’appartenir au gang de ‘‘Ti Makak’’.

    Une jeune femme a eu la vie sauve après avoir été passée à tabac et se trouve entre les mains des forces de l’ordre.

    Le mouvement baptisé « Bwa kale » déclenché par la population contre les bandits est du au laxisme des autorités face à ce phénomène, selon des organismes de la société civile ou de droits humains.

    Le père Gardy Maisonneuve et Antonal Mortimé estiment que le discours du premier ministre appelant la population à agir pacifiquement contre les bandits est mal venu.

    Par ailleurs, Edouard Paultre exhorte la population à ne plus agir de la même facon que les bandits.

    Si de plus en plus de monde se positionne en faveur cette pratique jugée à la fois nécessaire et efficace pour combattre ceux qui pendant trop longtemps ont semé la terreur dans le pays, d’autres toujours très sceptiques malgré l’apparence de calme qui règne dans certains endroits depuis le déclenchement de ce mouvement, garde leur distance arguant que du point de vue juridique, nul n’a le droit d’ôter la vie à autrui.

    Des membres de la société civile qui ont notamment appelé à ce réveil populaire un peu plutôt n’en démordent pas. Ils supportent ce mouvement à fond malgré la tournure que prend ce dernier durant ces derniers jours.

    Nul n’ignore pour autant que les considérations juridiques ou constitutionnelles sont contraires à cette pratique populaire dont l’exemple a été donné par les riverains du canapé vert

    Pour le premier ministre  Ariel Henry, le mariage police-population est nécessaire, mais cela doit se faire pacifiquement.

  • VIDEO: Jamaican-Born Man Who Waited 15 Years to Play US Open Polo Tournament

    VIDEO: Jamaican-Born Man Who Waited 15 Years to Play US Open Polo Tournament

    Jamaican polo player Jason Waite was the first Jamaican to play in the US Open Polo Championship final on April 23, 2023. Waite, who is a member of Team Park Place, played the final match at the National Polo Center in Florida against Team Valiente. Waite’s Park Place team won the tournament, the first time in its history, to take a US Open Championship Title with a score of 12 to 11. In addition to the trophy, the team took home $100,000 in prize money. The title, awarded since 1904, is the most prestigious in American polo.

    Top Accomplishment of Waite’s Sports Career

    Playing in the prominent tournament represented one of the top accomplishments of his career and the long journey of more than ten years he made since leaving Jamaica to pursue his love of the sport. Waite traveled to the US about 15 years ago and being able to play at the level of the US Open tournament meant everything to him.

    He said that Jamaica’s polo community is like family to him and has had a key role in helping him toward his career goals. He hopes that his experience will be an inspiration to other Jamaicans who want to play polo and will encourage them to follow their dreams “even if it takes a long time,” he added.

    Waite managed to play in the high-level tournament in what was his first season with Team Park Place, and he scored three goals in the team’s tournament run. His opportunity came in 2022 when he was invited to go to Argentina and try out for the team. He said that the chance to learn from some of the best polo players in the world was a priceless experience and he praised the Park Place organization and its personnel.

    19-year-old male on Wednesday admitted to the 2019 killing of two men at the Sunsplash Holiday Beach Resort, located at #63 Village, Corentyne Berbice.

    Though now an adult, because he was charged as a juvenile in accordance with the Juvenile Justice Act, the identity of the accused is protected.

    He was arraigned before Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall at the Berbice High Court for the capital offence of murder.

    However, he pleaded guilty to the lesser count of manslaughter and admitted that between December 19- 27, 2019 he unlawfully killed 71-year-old Vivekanand Narpatty and his employee Harry Persaud called “Guana.”

    The court heard that the defendant was 16 at the time.  Sentencing was adjourned until May 24.

    The State is represented by prosecutor Muntaz Ali.

    The badly decomposed bodies of Narpatty and Persaud were discovered on December 27, 2019, at the Sunsplash Holiday Beach Resort.

    Ranks from the Major Crimes Unit of the Guyana Police Force made a breakthrough in the case after they arrested several persons.

    The News Room had previously reported that Narpatty was on vacation in Guyana and was staying at the resort, which he once operated. The business was no longer functioning, and his relatives said it was his intention to renovate the facility.

    Police revealed that Narpatty was found dead with two toes from his left foot severed; one was seen next to his body and the other was not located.

    Narpatty was wearing a red t-shirt and a pair of brown short pants.

    Persaud was found 15 feet away from Narpatty’s body. Both hands were tied behind the back and onto a post in the balcony; the right foot was also bounded to the said post with a rope. The left foot was completely severed from the ankle.

    The body was facing downward; he was clad in a short brown pants only.

    Police found blood spattered on the wall and floor of the southeastern bedroom which was occupied by Narpatty. Both bodies were in a highly decomposed state.

  • Man gets life imprisonment for East Ruimveldt execution

    Man gets life imprisonment for East Ruimveldt execution

    Paul Rodney.

    Meredith was sentenced by Justice Jo-Ann Barlow at the High Court for the offence of manslaughter.

    He was initially charged with the capital offence of murder but opted to plead guilty to the lesser offence.

    He admitted that on November 21, 2016, at Avocado Square, East Ruimveldt, he unlawfully killed Rodney.

    Meredith’s attorney, Adrian Thompson, said that his client did not have a nice childhood and was influenced by the Warlock, East Ruimveldt community where he grew up.

    On Wednesday, a probation report was read in court which detailed that Meredith came from a single-parent home and was delinquent while growing up; he also spent time in prison.

    The court heard that in 2020, Meredith was sentenced to serve 15 years for the 2016 fatal shooting of 25-year-old Gregory Garraway, in front of Wings and Things Bar on Mandela Avenue during a robbery.

    At age 15, Meredith dropped out of school and made his first appearance before a court for robbery under arms. Due to his age, Meredith was placed on a two-year bond for the offence.

    Persons from the community described him as a “notorious criminal” and stated that the area has become peaceful since he is behind bars.

    While behind bars, prison officials said that Meredith was disrespectful and disorderly, which caused him to be placed in solitary confinement.

    Justice Barlow, during her address, told Meredith that she only accepted his guilty plea due to evidence of provocation. However, she made it clear that Meredith’s actions were inexcusable.

    She highlighted to Meredith that he killed Rodney one month after he had killed another man during a robbery. Justice Barlow told Meredith that he became emboldened to commit the second killing because he had not been caught for the first one.

    Taking the probation report into consideration, the Judge said that Meredith after becoming an adult, continued along this path, engaging in a delinquent lifestyle.

    According to reports, Rodney was at the party at Avocado Street. However, an argument ensued between Rodney and Meredith.

    Rodney left the party and Meredith and a friend followed him. Meredith, who was armed with a gun, discharged several rounds in Rodney’s direction.

    Rodney was seen lying motionless in a pool of blood. He was immediately taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he succumbed while receiving medical attention.

    China/ Guyana trade in goods skyrockets to US$1.8B

    Trade between Guyana and China has been steadily increasing over the past few years and at the end of 2022, bilateral trade in goods skyrocketed to US$1.88 billion (or GY $397.5 billion).

    This is according to Chinese Ambassador Guo Haiyan who spoke at the sod-turning ceremony for the new Bath, Region Five (Mahaica- Berbice) hospital, on Tuesday.

    She provided statistics from Chinese Customs and according to those figures, the trade increased from US$265 million in 2018 to US$1.88 billion in 2022. This is a six-fold increase in trade, the Ambassador said.

    “Guyana has become China’s largest trading partner among (Caribbean Community) countries.

    “Investment by Chinese also increased, making contributions to turning Guyana’s economic potential into economic development,” Ambassador Guo said.

    Chinese companies are involved in several large infrastructural projects in Guyana and in the coming years, China’s Sinopharm and CAMCE will be building six new regional hospitals.

    And health cooperation, the Ambassador said, is one of the areas China is keen on strengthening ties with Guyana in.

    “The Chinese Embassy will continue to encourage Chinese enterprises, institutions and individuals to deepen health cooperation with Guyana to support the development of Guyana’s healthcare services,” she said.

  • SLED audit: Labour Minister to engage AG over illegal use of Gov’t funds

    SLED audit: Labour Minister to engage AG over illegal use of Gov’t funds

    audit report into the operations of the Sustainable Livelihood Entrepreneurial Development (SLED) under the APNU+AFC government revealed funds were illegally used.

    The report, seen by the News Room last week, supports the Auditor General’s initial statements that multiple projects and funds were mismanaged by the APNU/AFC Coalition government. Millions were recorded to have been spent on some projects but checks later revealed that the projects never existed. In some cases, monies were put to personal use.

    Minister of Labour, Joseph Hamilton

    In an invited comment to the News Room on Wednesday, the Minister said: “I plan to consult the AG on some of the identified issues of illegal use of Government funds by some named individuals.”

    The Minister was referring to the Members of Parliament whose names were mentioned in the report.

    Initially, it was reported that $294 million was injected into the programme but according to the report, several allocations that were done for the period 2018 to 2020 amounted to approximately $371 million.

    The SLED is intended to fund community-based projects countrywide. However, it was found that application forms were not completed for many projects, despite this being a requirement. According to the report, many of the projects did not have relevant documents to verify the correct allocations of the grants.

    The audit also revealed that among the projects embarked on, most were abandoned and inoperable, with the monies seemingly put to personal use.

    Following the audit, it was concluded that better management of all grants and documentation for the grants must be implemented to monitor when grants are given for failed ventures due to lack of proper consultation and follow-up.
