Former Jamaican Prime Minister P.J. Patterson has expressed his “indescribable” personal torment over the deepening political and humanitarian crisis in Cuba – a crisis he says is made worse by the absence of the bold political courage once shown in the era of Michael Manley. Patterson was among 10 former Caribbean prime ministers who issued a joint statement as the situation in Cuba worsens, with the island reportedly starved of fuel. Speaking to ‘Beyond the Headlines’ host Dionne Jackson Miller on Radio Jamaica 94 FM on Friday, Patterson did not mince his words.
