Country Ranks INDEX for Antigua and Barbuda Maps ... Feedback Antigua and Barbuda National Security http://www.photius.com/countries/barbados/national_security/index.html Sources: The Library of Congress Country Studies Back to Antigua and Barbuda Index Antiguan and Barbudan security forces consisted of the Royal Antigua and Barbuda Police Force, which was a constabulary of 350 personnel, and the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force, which had 115 members. Although both forces reported to the deputy prime minister, they were independent of each other. The Defence Force filled the role of the SSUs established in other OECS countries; it had only a ground element, as Antigua and Barbuda had no navy or air force. The coast guard was subordinate to the Police Force. Elements of both the Police Force and the Defence Force participated in the United States-Caribbean military intervention in Grenada in 1983 (see Current Strategic Considerations, ch. 7). Antiguan and Barbudan forces stayed in Grenada until the spring of 1985 as part of the regional peacekeeping effort. Members of Antigua and Barbuda's Defence Force returned to Grenada in late 1986 in response to a request from Grenadian prime minister Herbert Blaize. Blaize had feared the eruption of violence as the Maurice Bishop murder trial neared its end. A very useful overview of Antigua and Barbuda at the time of independence is provided by Antigua and Barbuda Independence, an official publication of the government of Antigua and Barbuda edited by Ron Sanders. Paget Henry's Peripheral Capitalism and Underdevelopment in Antigua covers many aspects of Antiguan society and economy from a Marxist perspective. The November-December 1981 issue of the Bulletin of Eastern Caribbean Affairs includes several interesting articles on the Constitution, agriculture, and society. Novelle H. Richards's The Struggle and the Conquest, Pt. II: The Locust Years provides a helpful glimpse at interparty dynamics and political history. A closer look at Barbuda can be obtained in Barbuda Reconnaissance by Richard Russell and William G. McIntire; although dated in some ways, it offers useful information, especially for those interested in local geology and oceanography.

Society and Culture : History Overview Antigua was first inhabited by the Siboney ("stone people") whose settlements date at least to 2400 BC. The Arawakswho originated in Venezuela and gradually migrated up the chain of islands now called the Lesser Antillessucceeded the Siboney. The warlike Carib people drove the Arawaks from neighboring islands but apparently did not settle on either Antigua or Barbuda. Christopher Columbus landed on the islands in 1493, naming the larger one "Santa Maria de la Antigua." The English colonized the islands in 1632. Sir Christopher Codrington established the first large sugar estate in Antigua in 1674, and leased Barbuda to raise provisions for his plantations. Barbuda's only town is named after him. Codrington and others brought slaves from Africa's west coast to work the plantations. Antiguan slaves were emancipated in 1834 but remained economically dependent on the plantation owners. Economic opportunities for the new freedmen were limited by a lack of surplus farming land, no access to credit, and an economy built on agriculture rather than manufacturing. Poor labor conditions persisted until 1939 when a member of a royal commission urged the formation of a trade union movement. The Antigua Trades and Labor Union, formed shortly afterward, became the political vehicle for Vere Cornwall Bird, who became the union's president in 1943. The Antigua Labor Party (ALP), formed by Bird and other trade unionists, first ran candidates in the 1946 elections and became the majority party in 1951, beginning a long history of electoral victories.

14. Villa Antigua The Border Heritage Museum will feature regional history, traditions, The Villa antigua project will provide the only fullfledged history museum in a http://www.webbcountytx.gov/pct2/html/villa_antigua.html

Villa Antigua A feasibility study was undertaken in FY2000-01 and the acquisition of property has begun. The project will be located in an area that will eventually include visitor destinations such as the Republic of the Río Grande Museum, the Benavides-Herrera Visitors’ Center, the restored Plaza Theater, the Laredo Center for the Arts, the newly restored San Agustín Rectory, and the downtown riverfront park. It is expected to form an anchor for the growing cultural heritage tourism industry in Laredo and the border region. “This is a dream that the Heritage Foundation has long held for our community. The Villa Antigua project will provide the only full-fledged history museum in a 100-mile radius,” said Margarita Araiza, Executive Director of the Webb County Heritage Foundation. “We envision a solid anchor of attractions for promoting tourism in addition to providing the regional public with a fine educational facility.” After initial approval of the project by the Webb County Commissioners Court in 2000, County Judge Mercurio Martínez, Jr. appointed Commissioner Judith G. Gutíerrez to head a Villa Antigua project development committee. This committee consists of representatives from the Webb County Heritage Foundation as well as those from the county’s legal, auditor’s, and economic development offices. On December 13, 2001, the Webb County Heritage Foundation and the County of Webb hosted a sign- unveiling to kick-off the Villa Antigua Project at the corner of Santa Ursula and Zaragoza St. in the San Agustín Historic District. “We’re very happy to be a part of this exciting new project in downtown Laredo which will serve to revitalize our oldest historic district as well as to provide an example of how preservation stimulates economic and cultural activity in a community,” said Webb County Commissioner Judith Gutíerrez.

Back to the Carib Aviation front page A Brief History Carib Aviation started in 1973 with a single 6-passenger Beech aircraft for the main purpose of transporting guests for the Coco Point Hotel between Antigua and Barbuda. The operation was known as "Barbuda Wings". This internal service did very well for the first two years. In fact, it did so well that a second aircraft of the same type was obtained and went into service in the second winter tourist season of 1975/6. It was at this point that the owners started to think about setting up their own maintenance arrangements rather than relying on LIAT engineers for their assistance on their own time. The airline rented space in the "Seagreen" hangar (Seagreen operated a single DC-3 freight aircraft) and hired a freelance mechanic. Up to this the airline had operated under a US registration because it was simple and only required an "A&P"-qualified mechanic to perform 100-hour inspections. It became clear that, if Carib Aviation was to continue operating within the British Caribbean, the aircraft would have to be registered in the State of Antigua and a more sophisticated maintenance arrangement would be required. A fully licensed engineer was therefore employed to accomplish this task.

Antigua Colonial History Colonial ambiance, culture, bars, restaurants, markets... Antigua is located in the center of Guatemala, in the department of Sacatepéquez. Although it is the smallest department in the country covering only 465 square kilometers, it is also the most densely populated. This department, and particularly its regional capital, Antigua, is one of the main tourist attractions in the country. Antigua Guatemala is 45 kilometers distant from Guatemala City. It was the third capital established by the Spaniards. Founded in 1543, it was named Ciudad de Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala in 1566. After enduring plagues, earthquakes, and floods, the earthquake of 1773 finally destroyed it. In spite of being abandoned when the new capital was built, its inhabitants gradually returned to give it life once again, and today it is one of the country's main attractions. This urban jewel of colonial architecture conserves its original characteristics as if time had stopped. Due to its immense historical and cultural value, the UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site in 1979. At the heart of this city is the Main Plaza, which has the traditional layout used during the Spanish colonial era. Surrounding the plaza are the Palace of the Captain Generals, the Town hall, the former Cathedral and today the church of San José, the Archbishop's Palace, and the Portal de las Panaderas. At the plaza's center is the so-called Mermaid Fountain, built by the count of La Gomera in remembrance of a popular legend about a king whose daughters gave birth but refused to nurse their babies, so he had them tied to a post at the center of a spring, where they died of thirst and hunger. Today, four mermaids hold their breasts to provide the city with water. Built in 1749 by Diego de Porres, it has become Antigua's emblem.

It consists of the island of Antigua (108 sq mi/280 sq km) and two smaller islands, Barbuda and Redonda. Saint John's is the capital. Antigua is a hilly island with a heavily indented coast, while Barbuda is a flat coral island dominated by a large lagoon on its western side. Most residents are of African ancestry. Anglicanism is the predominant religion. Tourism is the most important industry, and the on-line gambling and offshore financial services sectors generate additional foreign currency earnings.

Periodic hurricanes can cause heavy damage to the islands. The country has a parliamentary-style government with a bicameral legislature. The British monarch is the titular head of state, but primary executive power lies with the prime minister.
