En el último ataque letal con misiles contra embarcaciones en el Caribe se presume que EE.UU.) asesinó a dos ciudadanos trinitenses.

In the latest deadly missile attack on vessels in the Caribbean off the coast of Venezuela, the United States is believed to have killed six seafarers , including two Trinidadian citizens, whose families have spoken out to demand justice for what they call “an act of evil.”

With this new aggression in a declared zone of peace , the number of murders rises to 27 , while US President Donald Trump maintains his rhetoric against Venezuela to justify this clear violation of human rights and international laws.

Although Trinidadian police are still investigating the murders, it is a fact that two of its citizens were on the boat that suffered the illegal attack, which has sown terror in fishing villages on the Caribbean island.

Who were the murdered citizens?

Like most of the men gathered at the fishing port of Las Cuevas, Chad Joseph, 26, a father of three stepchildren, was a fisherman trying to return to his homeland after three months in Venezuela. The other man, a resident of Las Cuevas known only as Samaroo, is another of the fatal victims.

According to some acquaintances who contacted his family, they confirmed that the young man was on the boat and “strongly deny that he was a drug trafficker,” also stating that “his murder was unjust.”

Cornel Clement, Joseph’s grandfather, questioned the American approach. “I see it as evil,” he said, while Lenore Burnley, the young man’s mother, who has no body to bury or cremate, did not hesitate to emphasize that the second of her six children was not involved in drugs.

For his part, a friend of Joseph’s, who spoke to Guardian Media and identified himself only as Kern, considered that “the US action was wrong” and “I think it’s inhumane.” He expressed the atmosphere in the fishing community as one of sadness.

Kill them violently?

Trinidadian Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, after the first US airstrike on September 2, commented that she had no sympathy for the traffickers and that the US military should “kill them all violently.”

Following the fourth attack, Persad-Bissessar said she continues to support US strikes against suspected drug traffickers. Her support came after bilateral discussions on energy and national security in Washington with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

So far, Persad-Bissessar, Defense Minister Wayne Sturge, and Foreign Minister Sean Sobers have not commented on this latest crime in the Caribbean, which has left the family mired in uncertainty, fear, and profound sadness.
