==== National Union of Freedom Fighters ==== The National Union of Freedom Fighters (NUFF) emerged in Trinidad and Tobago in the early 1970s, a period of social and political tension following the Black Power Revolution. Formed in December 1971, the group's emergence was influenced by a sense of dissatisfaction with the existing socio-political climate. Inspired by guerrilla warfare strategies, NUFF members engaged in activities such as attacks on banks, police stations, and infrastructure. These actions were part of their stated objective to challenge the government of Prime Minister Eric Williams. NUFF’s activities led to confrontations with state authorities. Security forces undertook operations to counter NUFF, resulting in casualties on both sides. Events such as the attack on a camp in Caura and the death of Beverley Jones marked key moments in the conflict. The government took measures to address the challenges posed by NUFF, and by 1974, the organization's activities had largely been suppressed.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Remembering Trinidad and Tobago’s Black Power Revolution |url=https://tribunemag.co.uk/2023/02/trinidad-and-tobago-black-power-revolution-1970 |access-date=2025-03-17 |website=tribunemag.co.uk |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=23.
