For the Sake of the People: Unite

By Marshall Nunez

This Tuesday night  the twenty three constituents came together in an effort to established unity within the PUP as we head into an announcement of the upcoming Party’s National  Convention.

What can be construed from the Patchakan Accord  seems to have created some calm especially around what would have been the factions between the party .  Some people at the Northern Caucus event  are ecstatic about this latest attempt at unification and yet, some people are a little uneasy even skeptical that it is for real then there is a small group who are sorry that the unity has taken place because they live for the division and excitement that is used to create.

For me I have always been an advocate of unity and so I am pleased to see that there is this level of unity within the party. Of course this is only the begging and we are quite away from the coming of next government but when we consider as a nation the what that the UDP

Shelly’s Blood on Barrow’s Hands…

A song crafted by talented artists as the latest crime-fighting initiative of Prime Minister Dean Barrow's Operation Restore Belize will not bring 35 year old Shelly Sanchez back to life. Nor will the lively tune comfort her 12 year old daughter, her family and friends left behind to grieve. 'I am Belize' did not matter to the gunman who sprayed Shelly with bullets as she walked home, and it did nothing for the innocent woman who lay bleeding in the street, shot to the right elbow, right side of the body and right lower back.

It is likely that Shelly Sanchez was murdered because she was a witness in an upcoming murder trial, and family members confirmed that she had been receiving threats in connection with that trial. They say that Sanchez went

In last Friday’s sitting of the House of Representatives, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Natural Resources Gapi Vega was conspicuously absent from the sitting even though the main event of the meeting was the tabling of the Auditor General’s Report on the distribution of national lands in the final months of the PUP administration.  Stann Creek West’s Melvin Hulse emerged as the "Acting Lands Minister" and was supposed to be the pit bull for the UDP’s "expose" but it all fizzled because even "Flippin" was afraid that the Hon John Briceno had the goods on the real shenanigans

According to Aaron Humes, a reporter for the AMANDALA newspaper in a blog post, when 18 year old Gilroy Barrow was shot dead last Friday night, he was the 64th person murdered in Belize in just the first seven months of this year, or an average of 9 per month. At that rate Belize would soon eclipse the highest number of homicides for a single year, this year.

The numbers have kept climbing in a week of mindless random slayings that have become now more the characteristic of a Belizean nation that wasn't too long ago known internationally as a "peaceful haven" and one of the friendliest places on the face of the earth.

On Sunday, David White died. White had been doused allegedly, by his common law wife and set on fire two weeks ago. He succumbed allegedly to his injuries while being treated at Karl Huesner Memorial Hospital.

On Monday a seven month along expectant mother was stabbed just before dawn at her home on Neal's Pen Road. Valerie Sherann was rushed to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital after she was stabbed in her stomach allegedly by her jealous ex boyfriend. The baby died.

Who’s Next? Belizean Businesses in trouble

0 comments

There is a worrying trend beginning to emerge in the business sector and this trend is the closing down of businesses which once thrived only a few years ago in what was once a growing economy.

Since Dean Barrow announced the recession in April 2009, Belizeans have been surprised almost weekly as businesses once fixtures on the Belize's business scene have been quietly closing their doors and pulling down the shutters.

Last week the local business universe shifted on its axis when it was reported that two businesses within the Mena Group of Companies, Fresh Catch Belize Limited and The Wood Depot had been forced into receivership by First Caribbean Bank, and that the Belize Bank had appointed accountant Stanley Ermeav as their receiver for Belize Aggregates Limited.

Fresh Catch Belize has been exporting thousands of pounds of their product to Guatemala, Mexico and the United States since 2002. It is a multi-million dollar investment that employed
