Trinidadian artist Melly Rose is sharing her heartfelt concern over recent reports of U.S. military operations in Caribbean waters that have allegedly resulted in boats being bombed or destroyed.
“I’ve been seeing what’s happening, and honestly, it’s been sitting heavy on my heart,” said Melly Rose. “If there are wrong things taking place out there, I completely understand the need to protect our region but innocent people could be getting hurt in the process. These are real families, real lives. Everyone deserves their day in court. There has to be a better way.”
Melly explained that her thoughts go out to the everyday people who depend on the sea to live — from fishermen and ferry workers to travelers and families moving between islands. “For many of us, the ocean is not just water, it’s how we connect, how we feed our families, how we survive. I just want safety for our people.”
The singer, who has long used her platform to champion community and humanity, hopes her message reminds regional and international powers that Caribbean lives matter and that peace should always come before force.
“The Caribbean has always been a place of love, rhythm, and resilience,” Melly added. “I just hope leaders choose compassion and care when making decisions that affect our people. We deserve to feel safe in our own waters.”

The sudden retirement of the US Military command for the Southern Caribbean Admiral Alvin Holsey says just how much even he disapproves of the military action in the Caribbean. Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda Hon Gaston Browne already let known his decision. I believe with the exception of “Mother Hen” from Trinidad and Tobago, all the other Caricom/Caribbean leaders disapproves and are disgusted and appalled with the US activities in our region. There clearly must be a better way.
@Audley are you speaking from a position of facts? You can state FACTUALLY that the said generally disapproves of such action?
