Crime-torn August Town fights for peace
Aug 2nd, 2021 | Category: Special Reports | 4:12#JamaicaGleaner #WomenForPeace AUGUST 2, 2021: The Hermitage Women For Peace, in association with the Sizzla Youth Foundation and the August Town Peace Builders, staged a peace march on Sunday to register their opposition to the continued hostility in August Town and other adjoining communities. The group marched from Hermitage and crossed over the Hope River into Bedward Gardens, where five men were killed recently by the security forces. The peacemakers then passed through African Gardens, Jungle 12, Marl Road, and Gold Smith Villa under the watchful eyes of members of the Jamaica Defence Force. Chanting “August Town strong, together we are one,” the group, which started off with a small number, eventually got increased support as they walked through the various communities.
