    It should be noted that the above figures are estimates and are made with a large degree of uncertainty. For example, the number of people living with ? in Haiti is estimated as being between 100,000 and 140,000, and the figure for Cuba lies in the range 3,600 to 12,000.

    I probably know them, everyone knows my pops (rip) in that general area. I went to St. Annes bay secondary and primary school, and my pop was the chief police officer there too.
