On both islands, what  was very remarkable, was that, up to today, the majority of the people of the 2 islands are under the impression that we, ourselves , the Bonerian People have chosen and want what we are suffering and going through now. However, brotherhood and compassion was shown and that they are in solidarity with the Bonaire People and will monitor the developments from close by and in the future, when needed, will reach out to our people.
