Soldiers in paradise.
Soldiers in paradise.
The Jamaican rum gives gunpowder. Jamaica... The Most prestigious resort
On Caribbean Islands, a place of pilgrimage of the Russian nouveau riches - one
The ticket manages a minimum in one thousand dollars. And in this paradise -
Barricades, shooting, mafia dismantlings, and news agencies
Inform: 20 corpses, 40 wounded men...
According to the Russian ambassador on Jamaica Edward Malajana, with
Which "MK" has called, the conflict which has outgrown on Saturday
In local military actions, became ripe for a long time already. One
Feature of the Jamaican capital has played, perhaps, not last role:
The population was distributed on areas according to the
Political to preferences. So it has turned out, that in the western part
Valve there live in overwhelming majority supporters
Party oppositional to the operating government, and in a case
Occurrence of any friction on political grounds the mass
Pressure grows and extends quickly enough.
The conflict spark has flashed in April of this year, when in
"Oppositional" area one local "authority" has been killed
(kriminal and a policy have intertwined here so strongly, that
To separate them from each other it is not obviously possible). On
To last week the government had an information, that in it
Restless area the weapon and an ammunition are stored.
The governmental forces have undertaken spot-check which it is unexpected
Has passed in a stage of tiny civil war. Cars have flared,
There were barricades - Jamaica was stirred up. And not only the Valve:
In some parts of the country also there have passed performances of supporters
The Jamaican Labour party. However, without shooting.
However, as Edward Malajan has assured the correspondent "MK",
Northern - resort - a part of island disorders have not mentioned.
On Jamaica the profit on tourism makes 1,3 billion
Dollars annually. The basic share of visitors here to have a rest and
To have a good time Americans make, it is less - from Canada and Europe. From
Conversations with the Russian tour operators offering the permits on
Jamaica, it was found out, that to the Russian similar cataclysms not
Are terrible. At ours already you will get nothing - for last three days
One refusal of the permit. Though generally our person if goes on
Jamaica, as a rule, in the winter: that from a cold and snow to plunge
In tropical paradise.
It is necessary to recognise, pleasure it not from cheap - for those, at
Whom a thick purse. Entirely Russian lodge in smart hotels in
Coastal small towns Montego Beat and Ocho Rios or remove the private
Country houses. Last year on island has visited about one and a half thousand
Our compatriots. In the Valve during time
Disorders it has appeared all about 50 Russians, including employees
Embassy and members of their families. From ours nobody has suffered, and here
Relatives from Russia very much worried after viewing of news
With frightening pictures also began to keep ringing in embassy.
Local authorities have tried to restore as soon as possible
Order, let even rigid methods - with application of army,
bronetehniki and helicopters. The bill went on hours, and if disorders
Have come to resort zones money would cry, smoothly
Flowing in a national economy from purses of tourists. Tanks and
Political maneuvers, and also intermediary of local businessmen,
Afraid for the incomes, - all it has helped to extinguish flash
Violence. While these lines, great were written
The Jamaican revolution has come to the end. In a draw.
