Remembering July 27th 1990

Some people recall the attempted coup on July 27, 1990, but few understand the reason behind it. At that time, the country was led by its first non-PNM government, the NAR, which inherited a declining economy and had to make difficult decisions that were unpopular with many. Combined with discontent from the Jamaat al-Muslimeen over their treatment, this led to the violent attempted coup against the government. Reporter Kandace Jackson takes us back.
