Dear Editor,
Recent events and statements would lead to believe Caricom, the bedrock of Caribbean integration and unity, is foundering, with one PM of a founder nation of the Community declaring CARICOM no longer a reliable partner. That same PM was also declared persona non grata by a perceived rogue state.
The founder fathers of the Community must be shaking their heads in disbelief.
Further there are differing views, positions and stances from leaders on the military buildup and imposition in the South Caribbean, with some openly in favour, some against and others straddling a position of both sides with zone of peace central. Some others have signed a Trade Treaty with the perceived rogue nation pledging support (SN October 30).
So, is CARICOM at the cross roads? Can it survive and overcome these hurdles and remain the strong integrationist, the hallmark of its foundation?
