It was just a week on Tuesday, July 3, after the first demonstrations on June 26 and 27 that the protests flared up again. This time the situation appeared more explosive. Much to the relief of all concerned, however, a new agreement to end the crisis was announced as twilight settled over the Government Secretariat compound where hundreds of Indian workers and sympathising Anguillians had converged. Last week’s demonstrations in The Valley saw a number of Anguillians expressing support for the Indians who complained that they could not live on US$180 per month; that they had concerns about food and water and that many of them were sick and needed medical attention. The support of the Anguillians this week was likewise very strong.
