Documentary: Kaiso for July 27 (1990 Attempted Coup in Trinidad & Tobago) 

Today marks 31 years since the coup in Trinidad 🇹🇹

i have absolutely no connections at all what so ever to this country but I just wanna say thank you for the documentary. I've always been curious about this country because they have a lot of oil ( like Venezuela too) but they are not achieving the same level of prosperity as countries like Qatar for example. It goes to prove that having resources is not enough, there needs to be proper government policies & distribution as well.

Thank you for the doc...Now I now a little bit about 'trinibago'...Interesting....I wish the country happiness and peace...

Well Trini's does only take thing serious when violence is involved how else was Abu Bakr supposed to get his point across 31 years later and nothing has changed

wont lie... i was biased AF about this. but i never sat down to hear the other side... open my eyes

This event was a history make. It was the first time ever till now that a Muslim lead group took over a country in the Western hemisphere. Practically in the door steps of the US. What is more amazing is that Trinidad and Tobago were able by then solve this crisis. I am amazed how the US didn't interfered. It shows also that the people from that country don't mess around. May god bless Trinidad and Tobago.

And this is why I will forever love cro cro I miss this kind of of calypso

Powerful! A must share.

This was a really good production.

A lot of noteworthy video clips. This is a must-see for anyone interested in what happened in 1990 and the general feeling of the time.

the fact that this man spent so little time in jail is crazy to me

The IMF and World Bank is the Dragon!!!!

Great documentary

This is a bit historically wrong. African Muslims were an integral part in Trinidad society until the 1890s and there are even those who were born into Muslim families in the 1930s and still live.

Beautiful nations of the Caribbean, size doesn't matter when you can go to the beach every evening after leaving work. It is sad when politics fill the minds of regular people with selfish and violent thoughts.

That Cro Cro song tho! 😌

RIP Abu memories live on

I remember that coup and will never forget. It started on a Friday. That’s why my mother and I migrated to America It was a scary time for us

Is how the guy at the beginning of the video does still be there by the look out.

why they granted him amnesty to give up boggles my mind... the man living free to this day.

That person speaking in Parliament was Mr. Joseph Toney...I know this man but I didn't know he was one of the victims of the coup. He is an amazing lawyer today and a very humble person and I can't even imagine how he felt at that time. I was only 4 when this happened but I remember seeing my older cousins bringing bags and bags of stuff home where we lived in Laventille at the time and although I didn't understand, the feeling was scary because I knew something was wrong.

Imam Abu Bakr passed away a few days after celebrating his 80th birthday

19:56 I think these black and whites are from the 'Black Power' movement. I remember I was 5 or 6yrs old, standing in my backyard in Teachier Village, looking down into Egypt and seeing one of these marches. The Trinidadian Stokely Carmichael/Kwame Ture is credited with coining the term 'Black Power'.

Good doc.

Trinidadians are peaceful people. No one in their right head believed violence was answer to political problems. that's what elections are for. The system makes allowances for that. There was no need for violence. And what happened was not Robinson's fault. It was the world at the time. We weren't the only country experiencing these things

OWTU headquarters man! Spent many good hours there doing research.

❤

Great video

Alyuh close down Petrotrini n privatize it We need another coup rn wii

Strong piece of medis...

Commentator my Comrade - Soylent Green is people...

I was 2 years old.. Big up that guy it need. Another coup to get government back in check

2nd august 1990 i was born.all i can remember is olive green

In Q2:191, the oppression referred to is religious persecution or hindrance. So the interpretation of that lady at time:12:44 is quite off. The jamaat were not oppressed either for religious reasons or otherwise. They get fired up easily when they hear talk of oppression and fighting for rights, but unfortunately they are rebels without a clue. Their kind would never listen to what legitimate authorities in Islam have to say. I bet they don't even have a person who studied at Darool-Uloom in their midst to advise them, but her imam advised her. I guess she would take medical advice from any idiot on the street. Obviously things were bad in the time of NAR. But why? One must consider the factors to come to any sensible conclusion. The fact that the PNM had depleted the treasury and the price of oil reached an all time low would have dealt a severe blow to the treasury. So where was the money going to come from? What was the NAR supposed to do or not do? What would an opportunistic thug like Bakr know about running a country?

Long live Abu bakar.... Marsh'allah 💖

in the 70s it was nice in the 90s it was hard and nowadays it worse and in the future well boy me eh no but it go be rell strain hopefully it get better

Not again! This is not the way to go! No matter!

Watching again in 2018 & that damm Dragon been feeding for a while now 😣.... #PullDownTheDragon!!!

Those story's are false ,some of the citizens know the truth why this happen,thanks to God the Most High and the soldiers of Trinidad and Tobago

I only understood crow crow 😂❤️

These Muslims need to learn their religion. Who was more oppressive than al-Hajjaaj who actually killed Companions of the Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi was Sallam)?? Who could be more vile than that? And yet, here is statement of al-Hasan al-Basri (a Tabiee): “Know - may Allaah pardon you - that the tyranny of the kings is a retribution (niqmah) from among the retributions of Allaah the Most High. And Allaah’s retributions are not to be faced with the sword, but they are to be faced with taqwaa and are repelled with supplication and repentance, remorse (inaabah) and abstention from sins. Verily, when the punishments of Allaah are met with the sword, are more severe. And Maalik bin Deenaar narrated to me that al-Hajjaaj (Ibn Yoosuf) used to say, “Know that every time you commit a sin Allaah will bring about a punishment from the direction of your ruler (sultaan)”. And I have also been told that a person said to al-Hajjaaj, “Do you do such and such with the Ummah of Muhammad (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam)?” So he replied, “For the reason that I am the punishment of Allaah upon the people of Iraaq, when they innovated into their religion whatever they innovated, and when they abandoned the commands of the their Prophet - alaihis salaam - whatever they abandoned.” (Adaab Hasan al-Basri, of Ibn al-Jawzee, pp.119-120, by way of Mu’aamalat ul-Hukkaam, of Abdus-Salaam al-Burjis). www.sahihmuslim.com/sps/downloads/pdf/MNJ160006.pdf

Islam has wisdom and practical knowledge to run things!.. you can run after the alcoholic and fornicators or big boss drug dealer to teach you how to live and see how that goes.
