Black Bodies Washed Up On Beaches<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

By Makeda Mikael<\/p>\n

Once more black bodies of drowned migrants are floating up on beaches, and in Caribbean seas, even as in the Triangular Trade, where millions of black bodies four hundred years ago, drowned or were dumped in the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Mother Africa is bleeding as her black skinned children continue to suffer the same exploitation of their country\u2019s human resources, forcing them to flee the horrors of warring Francophone\/Anglophone Black on Black Death, only to die on a Francophone (Guadeloupe) boat overturned in the Caribbean.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

These black bodies will continue to float on the waters, and wash up on our beaches until Antigua understands that there is a case to answer to all of Caricom and beyond.<\/p>\n

The message needs to be heard internationally, that the people of Antigua & Barbuda do not wish to have a migrant route through the Mid-Atlantic using their airport and shores. For this to be seriously heard and an immediate stop implemented, the truth must be told.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

An independent investigation must be mounted.<\/p>\n

It is an imperative for all those who allowed the international migrant mafia to penetrate our country and the Caribbean, with the dangerous cut-throat intricacies of the trillion dollar migrant enterprise of global proportions.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This migrant business(?) has evolved from the Arab Spring where boatloads of migrants from the Middle East and North Africa penetrated Europe, much to their displeasure, and met with much violence, and death by drowning.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The business has now expanded to air-travel to selected points in Latin America for access through rough terrain, enduring irreparable damage, and death on the trek to the USA via Mexico.<\/p>\n

The time has come to name the culprits in this global enterprise of doom which has invaded our peaceful vacation islands of the Caribbean, plunging us into a world we are not able to negotiate, and where our Government admits they were duped.<\/p>\n

This is the nature of migrant movement, where thugs control, and inexperienced Government Officials and greedy accomplices, cause unfortunate migrants to die watery deaths.<\/p>\n

Portugal is implicated as the registered aircraft carrier, Nigeria the perpetrator; Cameroon as a victim; West African Countries whose false passports were used by Nigerian culprits; Antiguan accomplices in the scam and the French (Guadeloupe who supplied the migrant boat); all must accept responsibility for the loss of lives. Further, Surinam, Trinidad, and St. Kitts, St Martin (French & (Dutch) and the USA(St. Thomas) as ports of call by migrants of the Antiguan charters from Nigeria, are all unwittingly or unwittingly involved in establishing the Mid-Atlantic Migrant Route to North American and European Countries, through their colonies and Overseas Territories in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

The horse has bolted, and the gate is wide open, now the simple fishing boat from any legitimate gateway, like Antigua, will get migrants via the small islands and colonies of the region to their ultimate destination, US & Europe! And now we will soon replace tourist deck chairs on the beach with body bags for the black bodies washed up on our beaches. Sad!<\/p>\n
