Riots in Curacao threaten Willemstad capital fire
Striking waterside workers on Curacao threaten to burn Willemstad if the government does not resign within 48 hours. Rioters forced the radio station to broadcast as troops were ordered to shoot to kill looters after Friday’s riot left three dead, 150 injured, and about 17 million in property damage. Amador Nity of the Longshoremen’s Union led the ultimatum, with oil workers and Shell contractor Weicar as key players. Holland plans to fly 300 marines to the island.
