His Excellency Declan Kelly, Ambassador Designate of Ireland, paid a courtesy call on Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Hon Brent Symonette at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday, January 23, 2008. Mr. Symonette conveyed The Bahamas’ interests in alternative forms of energy, as Ireland is noted for its wind farms and solar energy plants. He also noted that a number of Irish investors were interested in developing bonefishing lodges in the country, particularly in Abaco. Mr. Kelly said The Bahamas is “extraordinarily successful” in the Caribbean region, where Ireland is gradually expanding its foreign services. (Photo/Tim Aylen)
The Bahamas is “extraordinarily successful” in the Caribbean region. While that may be so, one must ask himself the question..The Bahamas is Extraordinarily Successful for who??
Surely not for that elderly man who died from starvation in the 90’s from Bain Town.
Surely not for the myriad sexually abused children in my country.
Surely not for the many young men in various over the hill communities who struggle everyday in this dreadful war for existence.
Surely not for the many young girls who are being prostituted on our unforgiving streets
and giving birth to babies, some of whom are infected with HIV-AIDS and don’t even know it.
And unknowingly spread it on a daily.
Get real and harken to the cries of my people!
“ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE SHOULD BE THE SPIRIT THAT DRIVES US AS A PEOPLE, EMBEDDED IN A FIRM UNBENDING BELIEF IN CHRIST”
Shake hands with that!
