Unrest in Jamaica

Jamaica has been making news for all the wrong reasons. The short version of the story goes like this. Years ago, political parties set up small areas, garrisons, of political support in certain communities. A "don" is put in charge of the community to ensure support and manage the area. The "dons" get more and more power. One particular "don" named Dudus, gets alot of power in a small area of Kingston. The Prime Minister represents his constituency and is affiliated with his party. The US thinks Dudus is selling drugs and smuggling guns. They ask for him to be sent to the states for trial on these charges. Jamaica refuses for 9 months. Jamaica gets lots of pressure from here and abroad. A small scandal happens regarding Jamaica trying to lobby the US to cancel the extradition request. Pressure Increases. The request is approved. The community decides to protect Dudus and use all their guns in support. The government decides to go in anyway and a war breaks out. The army and police overpower the community and many lives are tragically lost. The violence has been severe but thankfully has remained fairly isolated to the gang controlled areas of Kingston. They have yet to catch Dudus, and the country remains glued to the story.
