Ignite the Peace Coverage

Patrick Jones has been in Cayo all week covering the peaceful demonstrations, a silly attorney general address with group walk out, the Cayo Shutdown, the Eternal Flame of Peace March, the Torch Run, the Ignite the Peace Initiative, and the Purple Movement.  Thank you, Patrick Jones, for your outstanding effort to keep the country informed.  

 

Here's his video from yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tXYr3RxUdM

 

“Thousands of people from virtually all over the nation converged on the Columbus Park in San Ignacio Town for a massive demonstration.  Simultaneous with the demonstration was a voluntary twelve hour business shut down of the twin towns starting at 7am.  The majority of establishments closed their doors as a show of support for the people of San Ignacio and Santa Elena who are clamoring for justice for murder victims and for something to be done to address the growing crime situation.”
