    Honestly, Dominica is relatively peaceful in comparison to some of the neighboring islands. However, 2025 is gearing up to be a muffins year if the present trajectory continues.

    It appears that most resident citizens are perpetually ‘high’ or angry. One can lose his life or get seriously injured for even minor conflicts. This once tranquil paradise is rapidly turning into one massive graveyard. We need an actionable plan just to reverse this runaway crime rate.
