THE ISLANDS' TWO POLITICAL
PARTIES TRADED CHARGES OVER WHO
WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RECEN UPSURGE OF GUN VIOLENCE.
THE VIOLENCE BETWEEN RESIDENTS
OF THE RULING PARTY AND THE
OPPOSITION'S STRONGHOLD OF
JUNGLE HAS CONTINUED OVER
SEVERAL WEEKS DESPITE THE
INTERVENTION OF THE CHURCH AND
REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE TWO
MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES.
THIS HAS CAUSED FAMILIES TO FLEE
THEIR HOMES ON BOTH SIDES OF
THIS FIERCELY DIVIDED COMMUNITY.
