Today marks 300 days that Bonaire Human Rights Organizationn(BHRO)
president Davika Bissessar and Nos Kier Boneiru Bek (NKBB), president James
Finies are on the road with campaign - SOS Bonaire Life Matters, Relisting
Bonaire on United Nations Non-Self-Government-Territories.
Since 16th February 2022 they left Bonaire in search of
Political Support and Solidarity with the leadership of Governments,
Organizations and Institutions in the Latin America, Caribbean, and the United
Nations 77th General Assembly in New York.
Recently the President of Chile, Gabriel Boric, visited
Mexico and by invitation, Jorge Garcia, Vice-Secretary General of COPPPAL,
James Finies, president of Nos Kier Boneiru Bek and Davika Bissessar, president
of Bonaire Human Rights accompanied President Boric during his visit to the
"Gabriela Mistral" School, located in Mexico City. The authorities of
Mexico and Chile rendered tribute to the Chilean teacher and poet, who worked
with dedication and educated thousands of children in both countries.
During the ceremony we were able to talk with President
Boric, First Lady of Chile, Mrs. Boric and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonia
Urrejola, to whom we presented our Assessment of Self-governance sufficiency in
conformity with internationally-recognised standards Country: Bonaire
and were able to expose the violations of Human Rights in Bonaire by the
Kingdom of the Netherlands (Holland), the treacherous colonization that the
people of Bonaire suffered, as well as the lack of freedom and democracy.
Furthermore, we were able to address the issue of Bonaire
with Senator José Miguel Insulza, former Secretary General of the Organization
of American States (OAS), who expressed his solidarity and full support in our
fight for the freedom of the people of Bonaire.
Last week the BHRO and NKBB had the honor to meet with Mr
Conny Reuter, Global Coordinator of Progressive
Alliance. The Progressive Alliance is a
political international organization of social democratic and progressive
political parties and civil society organizations, with 140 participants from
around the world, that are convinced that a better future is possible and
stands together for Freedom, Justice and Solidarity.
Today, more countries in the world know of the suffering of
Bonaire, its inhabitants since 10th October 2010 who have been stripped of
their culture, their language and identity and the most precious thing, the
Kingdom of the Netherlands, has taken away our right to freedom and equality.
Colonialism is a Crime against Humanity, and we promise to
keep fighting as long as is necessary to bring justice, respect and rights of
the people of Bonaire for their freedom and equality and for future generations
to enjoy this liberation.
