  1. A spark can burn down a whole forest. The Prime Minister needs to meet with the various Maroon leaders and discuss this matter before it escalate into a war. There is a treaty or covenant involve in this matter, and it must be approached with diplomacy and caution. The government of Jamaica wants to sell-off the Maroon land to foreigners because they don’t care about the people. It’s all about money!

    1. @Dee Why is it nonsense? They had no problem meeting with the cult pastor prior to the incident, even though is long time slackness a call pan him name

  2. Corruption rules in the mining industry… holiness is profiting from the mining of the land. Take the disagreement to the international courts

    1. @Merrick Smith Fine.. Go ahead then and let’s sell the land with the river that supplies your home with water for an amusement park ..nuff jobs, nuff revenues… and let’s see what your grandchildren will do in the future!!!

    2. @Jessie B I served in the JDF for the 20 best years of my life. I made a difference for you and Jamaica on a whole. What have you done for Jamaica that can compare with my invaluable service to my country?

  3. Imagine you signed a deal with the slave masters to catch and return any run away slaves then few years down the line those run away slaves become your master lol

  4. I support maroons off the simple fact, my only national heroine was Nanny Of the Maroon. Jerk dishes are maroon based, this one of the only remaining national treasure yet wen mi drive tru deh. 😞 But my uncle dem still love farm up deh. Why the government can’t fund farming for rural areas and more. Das why me nuh do di toll. Tan a my bush. 🥖 🧺 when mi touch down. Poly trixxs. 🍀 charms ting.

  5. Curry should align himself with the Jamaican government to form a federation. Curry’s villages will have his own administration however it will be counted as a constituency.

  6. I don’t know what’s going on man, but for me it’s educational and I like it. I was born in Jamaica grown up in Spanish Twn leave yard when I was 23 now I’m in my 40s and I swear to GOD, I didn’t know their was a CHIEF down there. I found out about that last year 2020. Big up yourself CHIEFFFFFF🤛🏾 I knew about the MAROONS as a youth still NANNY the great bless her. CHIEF THIS MESSAGE IS FOR YOU KINGMAN maroons are warriors just keep the fight going BUT DIPLOMATICALLY yuh ear dat, check the past see how them dealt with your ancestors. Don’t let them get you out them ways DIPLOMATICALLY IS THE WAY FORWARD CHIEF, bless up

    1. The so called maroons were simply slaves that escaped the plantations and formed a community separate from the oppressive European. Some of these slaves made a pact with the British to be left alone in exchange of turning over any other escaped slave or hunting , capturing and killing them.Mining the cockpit country should not be allowed but the corruption runs deep in the government and the maroon country. Both parties have a agenda to line pockets with wealth at the expense of the destruction of Jamaica’s eco system.

  7. Be aware of any country that will try rid any section of the community that is ingenious to that land , no matter what is in place now ,
    if the foundation of those people historically, created the fabric of that society ,
    not to preserve is sacrilegious ,
    weather you are Australians, that extinguished the aborigines culture , or the USA with Red Indians and tribes such as ,or the Hierarchy of Jamaican society .
