How can CARICOM as a grouping allow another country to invade one of their sister countries and let it stand is beyond me.
The way El Salvador was allowed to invade Haiti, regardless of the circumstance, goes to show you how feckless CARICOM is as a body and how disrespected it is by every other country in the world.
Does anyone believe that the USA would sit by and allow France to invade Canada, or the United Kingdom would sit idly by and allow Russia to invade Belgium? Not without some form of debate in the United Nations or at the G-20 level would it happen.
Yes, Haiti is in a free-fall. But allowing a foreign country, without any international blessing from the UN or even the US, to go into Haiti without any supervision or mandate is just absolutely crazy.
What will Nayib Bukele do next? Would he send troops into the Bahamas or Jamaica? Would he send his navy to put a blockade on our sea-routes?
For CARICOM to sit there and not even issue a statement or have some form of special meeting on the matter is very discouraging.
Yet, when King Charles III was in the region, they could not stop from reminding him of his ancestors’ historic hand in slavery while having cap in hand begging for reparations.
Yet, they fail to do the work to take care of their own region on basic things like sovereignty and diplomatic support.
