Problems in Common Between Jamaica and Colombia about The Terrorism

At this moment, Colombia and Jamaica has a lot in common and especially if we speak of terrorism because in Colombia there are many gangs who are fighting for dominance in an area like that happening in Jamaica. In Colombia also can be seen that very often there are problems related to drug trafficking, and that in most cases it is the cause of most wars in Colombia and in many places in the world.
In Colombia the gang that presents more violence is "la guerrilla". Comparing violence between Colombia and Jamaica, we can say that in Colombia are more violent acts than in Jamaica.

War and Terrorism In Jamaica

In Jamaica, like in other countries, we can see many acts of violence, but the most common are vandalism, gangs are usually involved in the drug trade. And as we all know, where there are drugs, there are also problems. This war between gangs is also caused because each wants control of the area or somewhere in the country.
I can talk about this in the light of an article published by "Prensa latina" on 5 November, which said that the number of multiple murders is growing in Jamaica. The latest report by the police revealed that the multiple murders grew twice for the data last year, these murders were caused by gunmen who disappear very quickly from the scene, and witnesses say that after attacking with powerful guns and escape at high speed in their vehicles.

"Five shot in gang war - Woman killed in drive- Rasbert Turner, Gleaner Writer SPANISH TOWN, St. Catherine The Central Village police say a gang war was the motive behind the murder of a 19-year-old woman and the injuring of four persons during a shooting in Caymanas Bay, St. Catherine on Thursday night. Dead is Nashauna Barrett, while the four injured males were hospitalised with gunshot wounds. "We believe gang war is the motive. However, recently one of the major players was found dead. But it has restarted," said sub-officer Detective Sergeant Rodney Matthews who is attached to the Central Village Police Station. He added that, in July, several persons were shot and killed in and around the community by men from the area believed to be fighting over a mineral spring in the community which has been a source of contention for some time. The property is said to be owned by the Urban Development Corporation. Police on foot patrol Detective Sergeant Matthews told The Gleaner the police have started a foot patrol in the area to bring the gang war under control. About 9:45 Thursday night, the five were playing ludo when a car drove up, men alighted and started firing shots, hitting all and killing the woman. The St. Catherine South Homicide team has since commenced an investigation into the incident. ¨
