Trinidad and Tobago has declared a state of emergency following a surge in gang violence that has plagued the Caribbean nation. President Christine Carla Kangaloo made the declaration on the advice of Prime Minister Keith Rowley, amid mounting pressure to address the alarming rise in crime rates.

The country has been grappling with one of the highest homicide rates in Latin America and the Caribbean. With over 620 murders recorded this year alone, the nation of 1.5 million people is facing an unprecedented level of violence. Organised crime, particularly linked to the international drug trade, is responsible for the majority of the killings.

Trinidad and Tobago’s proximity to Venezuela, its porous borders, and direct transportation routes to North America and Europe make it a key location for narcotics trafficking, according to the US State Department. These factors have contributed significantly to the rise in violent crime.

The most recent incident occurred on Sunday, when five men were shot and killed in a shop in the poverty-stricken Laventille area. Authorities believe the killings were a retaliatory act following the murder of a prominent gang member the day before. This highlights the deepening cycle of violence fueled by gang rivalries and drug trafficking.

Under the newly declared state of emergency, police forces are granted extended powers, including the authority to arrest individuals suspected of involvement in criminal activities and to search both public and private properties. The government aims to target individuals responsible for posing a threat to public safety, particularly those involved in illegal activities such as firearms trafficking.

However, the government has clarified that no curfew will be imposed as part of the emergency measures. This decision leaves uncertainties about how the state of emergency will affect Trinidad’s upcoming Carnival, one of the largest and most significant cultural events in the country. Carnival, which draws tens of thousands of visitors from around the world, is set to culminate in a massive street parade just weeks before Ash Wednesday in early March. Heightened security measures could impact the festivities, which are a major source of revenue for the country.

The emergency declaration comes at a politically sensitive time as Trinidad and Tobago prepares for its next general election, which must take place by August 2025. Prime Minister Rowley’s People’s National Movement (PNM) party, in power since September 2015, faces stiff competition from the opposition United National Congress (UNC), led by former Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. With gang violence intensifying, the ruling party is under scrutiny for its handling of crime, and this move to declare a state of emergency may be seen as a response to growing public concern over security in the lead-up to the elections.

Trinidad and Tobago’s decision to declare a state of emergency comes at a time when the country is experiencing an unprecedented wave of violence. The sharp increase in murders, many linked to organized crime and the illegal drug trade, has put a strain on law enforcement and raised concerns over the government’s ability to restore public safety.

The country, which has a population of 1.5 million, has seen over 620 murders this year alone, with gang violence responsible for the majority of the deaths. Many of these murders are tied to the international drug trade, with Trinidad and Tobago being a crucial transshipment point for narcotics destined for North America and Europe. The country’s proximity to Venezuela and its porous borders further exacerbate the problem, as criminal organizations exploit these routes to smuggle drugs.

Laventille, a neighborhood in the capital city of Port of Spain, remains a hotspot for violent crime. The shooting deaths of five men at a shop in Laventille on Sunday is just the latest in a series of gang-related killings. The police believe the killings were a retaliatory act following the murder of a prominent gang leader the previous day, which illustrates the extent to which gang violence is entrenched in certain parts of the country.

In response to the growing crisis, the state of emergency grants police broader powers to arrest suspects and conduct searches of public and private premises without a warrant. Prime Minister Rowley has emphasized that the government’s focus will be on criminal organizations and individuals using firearms illegally. While this move is expected to target violent criminals, it also raises concerns about civil liberties, as the broad powers granted to the police may lead to abuses.

Despite the emergency declaration, the government has not imposed a curfew, which suggests that the authorities are attempting to balance the need for security with the preservation of normal daily life. However, as the country prepares for its annual Carnival celebrations in early March, questions remain about how the emergency measures will impact the event, which is a major cultural and economic draw for both locals and international tourists. The government will have to find a delicate balance between ensuring public safety and not stifling the festivities that bring in millions of dollars in tourism revenue.

The timing of the emergency declaration also coincides with the political cycle, as the country heads toward general elections by August 2025. Prime Minister Rowley’s governing People’s National Movement (PNM) faces significant challenges from the opposition United National Congress (UNC), led by former Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. The state of emergency could be seen as a way to demonstrate the government’s commitment to tackling crime, but it also comes with political risks. The opposition is likely to criticize the government for its handling of the crime wave, which could play a role in shaping the outcome of the upcoming elections.

As the state of emergency continues, residents are left to navigate life under heightened security measures. While the authorities hope the new powers will help curb the surge in violence, many in the community are uncertain about the long-term impact of the emergency declaration on the country’s stability. The next few months will be critical in determining whether the measures will have the desired effect on crime rates or whether the country’s security situation will continue to deteriorate.

University of Texas Press. p. 55. There are basically four operational categories that may be termed ethnic or even racial in Mexico today: (1) güero or blanco (white), denoting European and Near East extraction; (2) criollo (creole), meaning light mestizo in this context but actually of varying complexion; (3) mestizo, an imprecise category that includes many phenotypic variations; and (4) indio, also an imprecise category. These are nominal categories, and neither güero/blanco nor criollo is a widely used term (see Nutini 1997: 230). Nevertheless, there is a popular consensus in Mexico today that these four categories represent major sectors of the nation and that they can be arranged into a rough hierarchy: whites and creoles at the top, a vast population of mestizos in the middle, and Indians (perceived as both a racial and an ethnic component) at the bottom.
