SAN IGNACIO TOWN, Cayo,Tuesday October 16, 2012: The heroic actions of a seniorpolice officer resulted in the onsiteapprehension of at least one person,from a team, long suspected ofinvolvement in a string of robberieswithin the community. It was shortly after 10 o’clock onthe night of Friday October 12, 2012,when Assistant Superintendent ofPolice (ASP) Amin “Sheriff”August was recreating with friendsat a bar in his home village ofEsperanza when three armed robbersstormed into the bar with intent to pulloff a robbery. The robbers described as onebeing of dark complexion armed witha 9 mm pistol and the other twobeing of lighter complexion, one ofwhom was armed with a machete andthe other with a knife. They were alldressed in dark clothing with cloth

wrapped around their faces in theform of masks. Initial investigation revealed that thethree robbers stormed into E’s Cool

Spot/Western Poultry Bar which isattached to the grocery store. The manwith the gun allegedly fired a singleshot inside the place orderingeveryone inside the establishment tospread out on the floor. The man with the knife proceededto hold up the 17 year old male shopattendant and ordered him to walk

behind the counter and to hand up themoney. The knife man was distractedwhen ASP August refused thegunman’s order to take to the floorresulting in a struggle between Augustand the gunman. Being a firearmexpert himself, in the struggle Augustmanaged to press the magazinerelease from the pistol causing themagazine to fall to the floor but with asingle bullet remaining in the chamber.By this time the attention of all threerobbers was turned to August as thegunman call for the others to assisthim. The one with the knife camewith a stabbing motion at Augustprompting him to loose his hold of thegun. The gunman reportedly took afew steps backwards, pointed the gunto August’s mid section, and squeezedthe trigger firing off the single bulletthat was left in the chamber.Fortunately for the policeman, thebullet hit the buckle of the belt he waswearing resulting with mere fragmentsof the shot hitting August in theabdomen. The gunman and themachete man quickly fled the scene.

ASP Amin “Sheriff” August,Recuperating At The Western Regional Hospital

BY: Rolando Cocom Since the recent murders in theTwin Towns, people in the CayoDistrict have become increasinglyvocal about their concerns to reduce,and if possible end, the hideous crimesafflicting our society. I extend my sincerest sympathiesto all Belizeans who have had toexperience criminal activity, especiallyto the families who have lost theirloved ones, particularly the Martinezand Lowe families. No number of demonstrations, nowhipping of criminals, no personhanged, will ever be able to heal thevoid left in the lives of those who havelost loved ones. The reason for standing up againstcrime is really to make sure that morefamilies do not experience the hurt,frustration, suffering, and emptinessassociated therewith. Belizeans are on the moveadvocating for change. This does notconstitute a movement. It is an earlystage. It can either become somethingepisodic and die off OR mature andbecome effective in its cause. I hopeit becomes the latter; and for thisreason I shall refer to it as aMovement. In this entry, I address concernsagainst the critics; highlight points leftunmentioned in the media and project

the challenges and opportunities for areformist movement to drasticallydecrease crime.

The Movement The demonstration on Thursday(Oct 11) had a massive turn out. Theparticipation of tertiary level studentsadded to the great turn out. Somemedia have stated that it wasthousands of people. However, amore accurate figure, in my opinion,was that published by the STARNewspaper which estimated thegathering at around 1,500 persons.

If it is true that our Government isplanning to compensate the family ofthe Guatemalan citizen who unlawfullyentered our country to extract ournatural resources, I am totally againstsuch proposition. According to theinformation that was in the press, notonly did he try to come into thecountry but he was also armed with aweapon to try and shoot one of ourBDF soldiers. As a former memberof the Belize Police Force and

REACTION TO GUATEMALAN WHO WAS SHOTBY: Wellington C. Ramos the United States Army, if I was in

that soldier's position I would haveacted the same way without anyreservation or hesitation. The soldier then asked him to drophis weapon and he refused bycontinuing to advance towards himwhich led to the soldier shooting himto defend himself. Compensating anyfamily will send a bad message to theBDF soldiers and the Guatemalancitizens. Our soldiers will come to theconclusion that our Government is notsupporting them in carrying out theirduties in defending our country. For those Guatemalan citizens whostill believe that Belize belongs to themand they can cross the borderand come in and out of Belize at will,they will continue to engage inthis behavior with the intent ofreceiving more compensations. OurGovernment must stick to one storyand tell Guatemala that if their citizens

continue to cross our border at will,they risk suffering the same faith likethe person who was shot and killed. The Guatemalan government needto make more efforts to stop theircitizens from coming into Belize butthey will not because they supportthose people who continue totresspass in Belizean territory to stealour natural resources and squat on ourlands. No Belizean citizen can ever go intoGuatemalan territory to attempt to dothe same things the Guatemalancitizens have been doing on Belizeansoil for generations now because theywould be shot and killed and beburied on the spot. Most Belizeansknow this to be a fact and would noteven attempt to take that chance withtheir lives. My Grandmother was born inLivingston Guatemala and like mostGarifuna, Maya, Mestizos and other

Belizeans, we all have families in thatcountry and have nothing against thepeople and country but for them tocontinue taking advantage of ourcountry, we should not sit down idlyby and cry like little kids. I am beginning to notice, that fromthe time Belize and Guatemala agreedto take the Territorial Dispute to theInternational Court of Justice (I.C.J.),the incidents at the borders havegotten worst. Maybe, there arepeople in Guatemala paying thesepeople to carry out these unlawful actsso that Belize and Guatemala cancontinue to have tensions at theborder, which could eventually leadto the cancellation of all talks andfuture negotiations towards a lastingsettlement between these twocountries. The countries of Belize andGuatemala should look into thispossibility and have their intelligenceorganizations investigate it.

I wish to welcome the Hon.Minister and her team to Belize. Myunderstanding is that the programmeof events included a fly over in ahelicopter along the Belize/Guatemalaborder accompanied by the ViceMinister of Guatemala and CEO inthe Ministry of Foreign Affairs. An

official visit to the border (adjacencyzone) is also scheduled in theprogramme of events. I also note thatMinister Ablonczy is the head of theConsular programme for theCanadian Government and as such

she will be visiting the MennoniteCommunity in Spanish Lookout. I amhopeful that your stay in Belize willhelp to further the excellent bilateralrelation that both our Governments’shared since the establishment ofdiplomatic relations in November,1981. It is pleasing to note that thefoundation is well on its way to be setfor integrated planning in citizensecurity issues. Following the DonorCoordination Group meeting onCitizen Security with key CEO of theGovernment, on the 23 August, 2012;where Belize’s National StrategicPlans were discussed, a commitmentwas made for the development of aroad map which will chart the pathfor a more synchronized approach tothe wider donor contribution effort.We have also been actively engaging

our friendly Governments; dialoguewith the British, Canadians, Mexicansand the US Governments and otherscontinue to result in major capacitybuilding efforts. In April 2012, through theAnti- Crime Capacity BuildingProgramme, Canada donated thisIntegrated Ballistic IdentificationSystem, TRAX — 3D, which isvalued over $2 million; which is saidto be the most advanced ballisticimaging solution in the world today. This will now significantly increasethe ability of our law enforcementagencies to make ballistic matchesacross crime scenes and jurisdictions.We are hoping that in a very short timethis equipment will assist in ourinvestigating effort of the numerouscrimes involving guns and the arrestof gun crime offenders.

guest, It is important to underscorethe fact that this IBIS system wasdelivered to us in less than six monthsfrom the time a commitment was madeby the Canadian Government. Thoseof us who know how difficult it is tonavigate through the red tape andbureaucracy for donor countries toprovide this type of assistance, insuch a short time frame, willunderstand how unprecedented thisis. The Government of Belize and inparticular the Ministry of NationalSecurity is extremely thankful to theGovernment of Canada for this mostneeded and expeditious contribution.You demonstrated that not only youare a true partner in the fight againstNational and transnational crime butyou are serious about playing yourpart. Belize is partnering with a similarproject being executed in Barbados.Barbados has agreed to share aserver with Belize and Belizehas agreed to meet the cost ofmaintenance of the sewer jointly withBarbados. Canada has also agreedto sponsor training for one individualat the Forensic lab in the area ofSerology, which is the scientific studyof blood serum and other bodyfluids. The training will be conductedin Canada for three months at a cost

Moving forward, a recruit squad forthe Police Department and one for theBDF will be added to their strength.The BDF and the BNCG will bestrengthened to provide bettersecurity coverage along our bordersand at sea. The 1(9 Unit is being fullyutilized to support the crime fightingeffort. The CIMS will be rolled outcountrywide. Resource packages,similar to those given to EasternDivision will be extended to theDistricts, especially Cayo and StannCreek, in a proportionate manner.Mobile interdiction teams will bestood up. Legislation to limit thebail of repeat offenders and implementa sex offenders’ registry andmonitoring system along with effortsto increase the rate of convictions ofcriminals will be pursued. Efforts willbe made to strengthen the PoliceProsecution branch and institutegreater coordination between thePolice and the Office of the Directorof the Public Prosecution. We willensure more effectiveness in theinvestigation and preparation of casesfor prosecution and ensure, togetherwith the Magistracy and Judiciary, theproper enforcement of the lawsgoverning denial of bail in cases ofsexual and other serious offences; alsoProcedure to deal disciplinary with

corrupt officers in an expeditiousmanner will be pursued. Our Intelligence Architecture will berevamped into a Fusion Center thatwill host a new Counter IntelligenceUnit, and the proposed NationalCrime and Violence TrendsObservatory (which would endeavorto conduct more in-depth analysis andprimary research projects on crimeand violence trends across thecountry). The Fusion Center wouldalso serve as the Government ofBelize’s International Liaison withinternational and regional partnerssuch as INTERPOL, the RegionalIntelligence Fusion Centre (RIFC) inTrinidad & Tobago, Mexico,Guatemala, and Honduras. Finally, theFusion Center will facilitate the I-Tracesoftware and conduct tracing servicesfor all weapons and ammunitionrecovered by any and all nationalsecurity agencies. There is a whole lot we have plannedon doing, but, In times of shrinkingeconomies and limited resources it isa challenge for our Government toprovide needed resources in thequantity and in all the areas we wouldlike to. Therefore we must bestrategic and real in our approach inaddressing our many issues. We askfor patience as we seek to achievethese planned objects.

We now have the most advanceballistic imaging solution added to ourinventory; I want to ask the staff ofthe Forensic Service to please lookafter it well so that it will service usfor a long time to come. We aredepending on you to do so. In ending, I wish to thank theGovernment of Canada for their kindcontribution. Also I wish to take thisopportunity to join the PrimeMinister of Belize, the Hon. DeanBarrow, in offering my congratula-tions and thanks to the thousands ofBelizeans from the Cayo District andacross the country who participatedin the San Ignacio/Santa Elenapeaceful protest against crime onThursday. Please be assured that thewar on crime will not slacken but beheightened by increased human andmaterial resource allocation. I thank you for the role you haveplayed in this effort and for yourattention.”

effective it has got to organize. Theeight point petition sent to the PrimeMinister on Monday (Oct 8) wassigned by the ‘Solidarity Movementfor Justice and Peace’. Whilethis term was used to project theunification of various bodies involved,the said group is not organized. I amunaware of who is the president ofthe Solidarity Movement suggested inthe Amandala (Oct 14). Manysupporters were given opportunitiesto talk at the demonstration; yet, therewas no real talk of unification as theSolidarity Movement. There is a need to establish aCommittee which will haverepresentatives from the variousbodies of the neighbourhood watches,teacher’s union, and businesscommunity and so on. My suggestionis that the Purple Movement leaderstake the initiative to develop suchCommittee, establish a clear vision,plan, execute, and develop means ofsustainability. By the way, where is the NGO“Belizeans for Justice”? Not thatI want Yolanda Shackron to push herPUP agenda in the movement but it’srather strange.Ed Note: In response to yourquestion “Belizeans for Justice isDEAD. It was injected with alethal dose of the poisoncommonly known as “PoliticalInterference”

The Only Positive Suggestion At the Wednesday ‘PublicMeeting’ with the Attorney GeneralHon. Wilfred Elrington, in hisresponse to a series of suggestions,complaints, and questions, the AGsaid that there was only one positivesuggestion that he heard. That suggestion was to hold atelethon to raise monies for theestablishment of an advance forensiclab. This understandably caused

great discontent. After one and twoattendants decided to leave, a groupof youths at the back of the room alsodecided to march out, inciting othersto “walk out”. Interestingly, the young lady whogave the “only positive suggestion”is the president of the PurpleMovement, Carmita Lemus, whosesupporters were among the first towalk out. I have argued that this ideawhile noble should not be pursued. Abetter initiative is to raise funds for themovement to sustain itself.More than that, according to 7News,the AG has stated that the walk outdid not happen: “the reporter whoobviously had his own agenda therereported that the people left”. PatrickJones has made this known on hisFacebook page, and most people arebewildered and outraged by such astatement by the AG.Now, video footage does not lie, thepeople did walk out. It’s also onYouTube.ED Note: You inform that“supporters (of the PurpleMovement) were among the firstto walk out” because of thesuggestion made by the Presidentof the Purple Movementsupported by the AG. Yet at theconclusion of the Thursday eventthe Purple Movement began the

collection of funds for the same“forensic lab” with several of thevery same people who walked outof the meeting among the first topledge their money in supportof a suggestion which only theprevious day caused them to walkout of a meeting

Revenge or Justice As to the request for capitalpunishment to be implementedimmediately, the AG replied “But Ican tell you, I can tell you that onlythe suggestionÿþ of hanging a personthat is made publicly in Belize, anysuggestion that you make, we get allkinds of pressure from the peoplewho keep us surviving”. This causedan expected disapproval from thegatherers. I believe there are many benefits inhuman rights initiatives. However,capital punishment, particularly byhanging, is one of the cheapest short-term means to create deterrence forthe extreme violence in our society.Now, England, through the PrivyCouncil, has blocked capital punish-ment in Belize and the Caribbean.Some hope was increased for thepenalty to be allowed since the PrivyCouncil was replaced by the Carib-bean Court of Justice as our final courtof appeal in 2007. However, with onerecent case submitted by Jamaica, itappears that the death penalty will notbe supported. Beyond that, as the AGsays many international organizationswill oppose.European powers tell us that it is un-civilized to carry out the death pen-alty. Paradoxically, these are the samepowers who exploited land that werenot theirs, enslave millions, colonizedus to the point that they becametoday’s 1st World Countries and usthe 3rd World. These are the samepeople who developed every possiblelaw to keep indigenous and non-Eu-ropean peoples from being mastersof their own destinies. Capital Punishment is a desperateattempt to bring justice in the societyand to deter others from pursuing alife of crime. I am truly not a big fanof capital punishment but when Ilearnt that Belize’s prison system is themost humane amongst the countriesof USA, Jamaica, Barbados, and

St. Lucia, I realize that it is one of thereasons we have so many repeatoffenders coming in and out ofHattieville (Gayle Report, 2010). On the day of the demonstration, Ireasoned that it was absurd thatmost of us were hungry as we stoodout there calling for justice whileprisoners at Hattieville were enjoyingtheir lunch. Shouldn’t the politiciansand human rights group havesupported the people with a meal orat least a snack? Now, criminal activity is amultifaceted problem and thereforerequires a multi-layered plan ofaction to be effective. This meansthat present structures of politicalauthority, education, economicplanning, religion, and socialinstitutions must be reformed. Thisshould also be part of the goalsbehind the Purple Movement.

DNA Lab and the Telethon While at the Meeting, one ladycautioned me that it would be betterto establish the DNA Lab beforecarrying out capital punishment. In theUS, there are a number of personswho have faced death innocently.Therefore, in Belize, there is a needto establish an advance forensics lab.The government has sent out a pressrelease that it will do so. However,the Movement must push for this. The AG told attendants at themeeting that this will require onemillion dollars. Some peoplesuggested selling ministers vehicles,decrease their salaries, and abandonthe new bridge project in the TwinTowns, etc. Why not? The government can also start byincorporating forensic fields in thenation’s scholarship priority list. Thelisting should also include areasof research – history, sociology,psychology, criminology to increasethe potential for Belizeans to becomeresearch based problem solvers.

Cautions against Fundamentalism There is a danger in allowingChristian fundamentalists to be giventoo much voice in this movement forjustice. The problem, for me,generally lies in the fact that they willbe able to push their own agenda

afterwards. Also, for many fundamentalists, theygenerally believe that behind thecriminal is the devil or some evil spirit. Behind the criminals, however, is amajor fault in the system and socialstructure, in which the church-statesystem is both a participant andproduct of. Some of the remarks I heard at thedemonstration were unquestionablyfundamentalist, such as theFECTAB’s President TomGreenwood persuading the peoplethat their voice represent the voice ofGod and that the government shouldtake heed. Also, members from Plus TVagitate for change but do so in avery zealous confrontationalfundamentalist manner. I predict thatin a few years, their members will becandidates at both municipal andgeneral elections. It is a scary thing when peoplebegin to believe that God’s is on theirside to fight. But it is likewisehonourable that they have decided tostep outside the four walls of thechurch.

Ignite the Peace Initiative The Ignite the Peace Initiative wascollaborative effort between thestudent bodies of Galen University,Sacred Heart College Junior Collegeand University of Belize. The UBstudents had the greatest turn out.About 5 buses filled with UB studentsparticipated. Galen and SHCJC eachhad less than a hundred studentsrepresenting. The students, however, were notvocally active. They were mainly therein numbers. Most of them awaited thetorch runners, and then proceeded tohead on home after their arrival. HopeAmadi, president of the UB studentGovernment, had to inform studentsthat the buses would be departingabout 30 minutes after the torchrunners had arrived. Additionally, the speaker systemsthat were used were not effective andmost of the people were hungry. Therewas no food to be purchased because

People on the Move for JusticeContinued From Page 11 of the shutdown. This is why the

Movement needs to get funds,sustainability. High poweredspeakers were needed and foodshould have been made available.

ED Note: Ha Ha Ha!!! Was it notthe very same organizers of theevent who called for the shut downof businesses? Thank goodnessthat the gas station people acrossfrom the Columbus Park andHannah Restaurant did not fallvictim to the ploy and in theprocess enjoyed one of thebusiest business days in many,many years.”

I am encouraged by the increase innumber of students who turned out.Last year, the University of Belizethrough the Student Government hadmanaged to cancel classes to carryout a peace march in the centralstreets of Belize City. Only one busdeparted from Belmopan, which wasmore empty than full. The number ofUB students who participated inBelize City was extremely low. Wewere joined by the St. John’s students.Students in Belize aren’t active. It’ssad, very sad.

Ed Note: No movement of thepeople will ever succeed in BelizeCity. The drive has long ago beenkilled by a lethal dose the poisoncommonly known as “PoliticalInterference”. Unfortunately thatvery same poison was busyhogging up the microphones whileinterfering in the “Movementof the Western People” lastThursday.”

Some students say that nothinghappens by marching; I say a marchcan foster unity and propel us tochallenge the status quo. Moststudents take occasions like thesefor leisure. Oh, and their lack ofparticipation is not because they aretoo serious academics not wanting tolose a day of class.

Partisan Politics In the Gayle Report (2010), of 92

children of age 6-13, 51 (51%) knewprecisely which political party theirparents support. Some children evensuggested that they already supporttheir parent’s political party. Thesenumbers increase as they get older.Belizeans are socialized to remaincommitted to their family’s politicalparty affiliation.However, according to the GayleReport, the shift from paternalisticblind eye voting rates is directlyrelated to the level of literacy andeducation level in the population. In2010, only 7400 persons wereenrolled at the tertiary level (2010Census). Therefore, we have a longway to go before this shift becomeswidespread in Belize. Some people have said that theMovement is primarily made up ofsupporters of the People’s UnitedParty (PUP). This view is particularlyrecurrent in the Wave’s Radio talkshow, whose speakers believe thateveryone else except themselves havea partisan agenda. The reality of thematter is that on the day of thedemonstration Hon. Elivin Penner(UDP) pledged to be a member ofthe Purple Movement. Also, severalUDP councillors of the Twin Townshave been active spokesperson andorganizers of the cause. Yet, it cannot go unmentioned thatPUP supporters will find their wayspeaking more often than others. Thisis because partisan politics is soinfluential in people’s behaviour.Known UDP supporters have ahigher chance of being victimized ifthey speak out. Politicians will assumethat they are UDP betrayers. More than that, the young people ifthey speak out, will be confronted bytheir families and peers who will warnthem the dangers of victimization.Beyond that, the young people are yetto become conscious that they canbe powerful agents of change. Youngpeople rather go to parties and gethigh, failing to realize that so many ofour brothers and sisters are falling tocrime and that one of us could be next.My hope is that, this movement canbegin to challenge the general Belizeanpsyche that we are not entitled toquestion our representatives. Thepeople have the power; power to thepeople. The Purple Movement Committee,I am proposing, must establish rulesabout this. For example, if anymember agitates for explicit UDP/PUP interest, he/she should berenounced publicly from being part ofthe movement. And also prohibitcertain type of activities such as themusical presentation by the Mendezduo at the demonstration. Overall Ilike the composition. But “wasGeorge Price for us - Yes in God hetrust” and those sort of phrases willgive the PUP the upper hand. Letit be a movement for social reform.That song was good for theSeptember celebrations. As much as

possible, be bipartisan. If themovement will advocate for aparticular party, let it do so for a newparty comprised of revolutionarynon-conformist youth. Interestingly, the Purple Movementhas issued a press release affirmingtheir bipartisan status: “We thePurple Movement will notaccept any Political Party orEx-affiliates into our Executive orHonourable Membership. Wehowever will not undermine, butwelcome political leaders orex-affiliates to support themovement as “Customarymembers” who can freelycontribute and participate inour activities as citizens in ourcommunity, but not as politicalleaders or as a party affiliate.”

Attack the System Attack the system! Attack theSystem! – Both political parties haveallowed the system to remain relativelyintact. Our high crime rate is theresult of both Red and Blue. If youare going to attack the Hon. PrimeMinister of Belize Dean Borrow,please remind Hon. Francis Fonsecaand Hon. Said Musa and fellowcompanions that their actions led usto where we are. Don’t be fooled.Don’t run their campaigns for them. Let me give to example of our faultysystem. In education, 1/3 of ourchildren are excluded from primaryschool; 60% are excluded from thesecondary level; 2008 data stated thatthere is a 4% tertiary enrolment whichgives Belize which is some of theworse rates in Central America andthe Caribbean (Gayle 2010, p.110-114). The 2010 Census informedus that only 2.4% of the populationwere enrolled at the tertiary level.These are among other factors suchas underpayment for teachers,overcrowded classrooms, lack ofqualified teachers, complicatedmanagement of schools, and thecolonial education structure which areinterrelated issues which contribute tocriminal activity. Similar attacks canbe made to the Political Structure,Police Department, Health andSocial Services and so on. Criminals must be laughing whenthey see peace-marches, shut downs,and protests. They may even becomemore agitated as evident in recentreports. But we are not out to scarethe criminals. These initiatives thenmust be directed against the system.Politicians who are the principal policymakers must be advised andpressured to make the necessaryreforms to create a more inclusive andstable society. Voice your Concerns and Challengethe System. Belizeans, Belizeans, my dearBelizeans, think, think, think, and thenact. Oh yes, act, we have got to act,realize that our realities depends onour inactions and ACTIONS.

It’s All About The Money Mr. Pedro Espat lives alone in theKings Park Area of Belize City withonly a pet dog for company. One day the dog died. Mr. Espatwent to the parish priest and asked,"Father, me dog is dead. Could yousay a mass for the poor creature?" Father Patrick replied, "I'm afraidnot; we do not have services foranimals in this church. But thereare some Baptists down there onGabourel Lane. There is notelling what they would do.

Maybe they'll do something forthe creature." "I'll check with them rightaway Father” responded Mr Espat.“Since you are in the businessof saying mass’” continued Mr.Esapt “do you think $10,000 isenough to donate to them forthe service?" Father Patrick exclaimed, "SweetMary, Holy Mother of Jesus!Why didn't you tell me the dogwas Catholic?”
