Dear Editor,
St. Maarten and the people who dwell there are all our brothers and sisters. If St Maarten falls we all will feel it.
Many might blame the Dutch, many might blame CARICOM, many might even blame the opposition of St. Maarten for its downfall.
We, the member-of-CARICOM nations, wish to sit with the Dutch and St Maarten governments and the rest of Dutch colonies governments in the near future.
We also are watching the French side relation if the Dutch side falls.
We saw the people put their trust in Theo, we saw the opposition performance not so good, we saw the Dutch performance also.
The Dutch are not bad people. Both government and opposition need to hold one head so the Dutch will have a better understanding for laws and culture of the country. (Amen)
