Christopher Dudus Coke

Kingston, the capitol of Jamaica, is under a state of emergency. Police have been attacked by armed gangs. The attacks are an effort to prevent the arrest of the drug lord Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke. His gang is called Shower Posse. It is an international drug smuggling ring.

Last week, the Jamaican government agreed that they would finally extradite ‘Dudus’ to the US. However, ‘Dudus’ supporters have placed barricades and are fighting to protect him.

A police station is actually on fire in Kingston. Police have evacuated women and children from the neighborhoods near the unrest. The state of emergency in the area will last at least a month.

‘Dudus’ is a community leader in the area. His supporters see him as somebody who fills a role that the government does not fill. He gives the people money when they are unemployed, which is why he has so much support.

In a tactic to try to draw him out, the police have called the barricades cowardly, and have called for his surrender.

Coke is one of the most dangers drug lords in the world according to the US Justice department. He would be sentenced to life in prison if he is convicted.

This is absolutely not the time to travel to Kingston, Jamaica. In fact, the US and the UK have issued a travel warning for the area.

This entire thing is really scary to me! I can’t believe that such violence has broken out over this man. I hope that the police are able to catch him. I also hope that innocent people are not killed in this disaster. I’m not sure what we can do to help this situation. Should we even try to help? Perhaps since we are the ones who want him extradited.
