Nassau, Bahamas, May 10, 2018
On the 7th and 8th
May 2018, James Finies, Foundation Nos Ke Boneiru Bek (NKBB) was in the Nassau,
Bahamas where Cofcor Caricom meeting was held at the Hilton.
This expedition was based on the
result of the meetings at the beginning of April with the assistant secretary
general of Caricom Honorary Ambassador Granderson and vice-president of Guyana
and Minister of Foreign Affairs Honorable Mr. Greenidge in Georgetown Guyana.
NKBB travelled to the Bahamas based on their statements where they indicated
publicly that they would not hesitate to call on us if further explanations are
needed because of the atrocities that Holland are committing against us.
Finies met with many Caricom
countries, ambassadors, lawmakers, human rights lawyers etc. of Bahamas during
these days whom were in disbelief that in this 21st century and its
own backyard of the Caribbean Bonaire and the Statian peoples are under
colonial rule and all of deemed this as unacceptable.
The support and solidarity of these
Caricom countries where overwhelming since most of them think that Holland is
one of the richest nations and the Bonerian and Statian peoples were enjoying
the same richness with equal rights in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Also for the first time the Caribbean
nations are hearing of the Sint Eustatius overthrowing of the Statia elected
government and halting the upcoming elections of 2019 and were perplexed by
this undemocratic situation in the Caribbean.
Mr LaRocque, Secretary General of
Caricom emphasized and urged the people of Bonaire and NKBB to continue this
right path of advocating the plight of the Bonerian of Statian peoples among
the Caribbean countries.
The Caricom countries are supportive
of Bonaire and Sint Eustatius’ quest to re-list themselves as Non-Self-Governing-territories
of the UN, so to fall under the protection of the UN Special Committee (C24),
and where Holland has to report back according to international law to the
General Assembly of the UN. All Caricom countries are members of the UN General
Assembly, and all have voting rights to vote us on this of Non-Self-Governing-territories
list.
NKBB will continue after Bahamas
towards other Caribbean countries to promote awareness and solicit support and
solidarity on the undemocratic situation and abuse of power from the
Netherlands on the islands of Bonaire and Sint Eustatius.
