    Yes, we watched from across the Caribbean sea. And we all loved and supported Maurice Bishop. We all rooted for Grenada. I was a teenager, studying at the Social Science Faculty of the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies when he was assassinated.
    We felt his death as a great loss to us all.
    A intelligent man who cared for his people. If he had made it, there would have been a chance for us all to break the yoke of imperialism that still restrains us to this day.
    We are independent in name only.

      Don Rojas is lying, his reason for the take over of the country is bogus, Bishops was never democratically elected, bishops lied about gary leaving instructions to arrest members of the new jewel movement, those are all lies, you need to provide proof of this , not rum shop talk , that’s the reason his own men killed him , you mr Rojas needs to stop lying that’s why you cannot write a memoir, it has to be the truth, with facts to back what you write.

    As a Grenadian who was part of the training and mobile system. However I migrated to Trinidad and Tobago three months before the rovulation. I always bought into his philosophy of socioeconomically development plan which I had participated in before migrating. Today I feel just as motivated to carry on his legacy, knowing the benefits it provides for real freedom for the entire region of Africa, and beyond. Caribbean leaders miss a great opportunity to raise the quality and stand of life in the region. But it's never too late to act. Bishop will always remain alive for all those who lives he impacted impacted. He was a great soul, may his soul continue influence our directions as a nation 💗🙏.

      My PM bought change to Grenada although America did not like PM, until them set up board and Austin to assisinate our PM. Even in this world today AMERICA is the ones who is setting up all brutality. Once you not abiding with what them want you to do, they will pay your own people $$$$$$$ to get ride of you.

      Wrong... Cuba was and has been always prtected by the CIA and the USA. They have all this years made us believe Castro was an enemy when in fact he was always part of the CIA weapons against its own people.

    With keen interest I intently listed to every word in anticipation of the Reagan invasion. An iconic interview of an extremely disappointing angering historic event with US Republican influence glossed over. Once again the perhaps wise yet subtle brush skipping the intrigues and debauchery of Reagan operatives was anticlimatic. Never the less thank you with gratitude for this informative interview. Possibly you'd consider an in depth sequel inclusive of Reagan's political exploitation of Granada and it's usefulness to divert attention. If only our heroic leaders would be left to fully blossom!

    Interesting interview, but there are inaccuracies and speculation. I am/was no Gairyite, but as a teacher of history, factual-based discussion is paramount. Filling in the blanks is okay but make it clear that what you're doing is reasonable speculation.

      ​@@DKing-sc3nt Nonsense, the founders of Zionist Israel hatched their plan with the help of Great Britain whom trained the racist nationalists just 150 years ago. The Zionist openly state their mission is to eradicate Palestinians from their own land. Netanyahu his far right cabinet and the head of the IDF have all physically stated similar intent. We are witnessing their final solution - extermination of a subjugated indigenous people occupied in their own land with no human rights. Hamas used to justify genocide.
