Dominica will be on the itinerary of the Prince of Wales when he tours a number of Caribbean countries devastated by Hurricane Irma and Maria.
He is expected in Dominica on Sunday, November 19, 2017.
During the tour, he will meet members of the local communities and hear about the ways in which they have been recovering since the storms hit the Islands.
The Prince of Wales will arrive in Antigua and Barbuda on Friday 17th November, conducting engagements on the island of Antigua that day. He will visit Barbuda and The British Virgin Islands on Saturday 18th November.
On the final day of the tour, Sunday 19th November, The Prince will conduct engagements in Dominica.
Antigua and Barbuda, The British Virgin Islands and Dominica were all severely affected when Hurricanes Irma and Maria struck in September 2017. The storms caused widespread devastation which led to the displacement of communities.
This will be the Prince of Wales’ first official visit to Antigua and Barbuda, The British Virgin Islands, and Dominica.
If you can stop wasting money and destroying the Island with petty issues, the Prince of Wales and others will gladly assist in bringing more money to Dominica. A recent visit to an Island I admire and love left a bad taste to my mouth. Maria only cleaned what was required, but you the citizens of Dominica brought the country to a place of despair. Too much lawlessness going on in Dominica.
As a member of the Dominican community I just cannot believe how bitter some people are/ The hurricane was an act of God so why be so bitter to a visit from Prince Charles. Slavery was not his fault and why bring up slavery in the first place. Was that an act of God as well?
Dominica will recover but it will be quicker if people focused their efforts into work not complaints!
So you mean to say that God hates his people so much that he had to destroy the island? I thought that he is a loving god. He is reaping the outcome of Slavery. The queen, his mother, is the richest woman because of Africa’s resources. According to Forbes magazine, her net worth is $500 u.s. million dollars.
correction: The queen, his mother, is one of the richest woman in the world.
@Conscious…very interesting comments from the Conscious indeed. If you read the comments it seems that its a very reasonable argument, however the Conscious simply avoids looking into the facts:
1) The Caribbean people simply do not have muscles nor resources to get a reparation
2) In globalized world you need to trade with other countries and invest into the educations of youths – not to beg for reparation
3) You can blame europeans and all white people in general for all malices..however non of them have to pay for crimes committed by their states in the past. Many of them had no say for centuries ( women for example)
4) if its possible to apply your logic – then Russians have to receive a reparation from Mongols for the war crimes of Genghis Khan, you bloody serious?
5) Africans profited from slavery ..and europeans, and arabs, and many others
I think you are a demagogue and blatant xenophobe…and it explains your ability to bend logic and juggle with facts.
Madam/ sir, Conscious: I never said you will kill me if you had the opportunity to do so, such remarks were directed at the two fictitious entities whom I identify as “out of Trinidad,” and “bahamas.”
I do not know those people, and that in the context in which I said it; is only in a figure of speech; like in a metaphor. I have absolutely no clue as to why you chose to make this personal! Here you are talking about self hate. Guy I am very happy with myself!
I have accomplished everything a man my age should have accomplished in life; I am living a very good and successful life; I have all the comfort in life that I desire; God given! I am not on DNO trying to become popular, anybody writing on DNO and there are many who knows me can tell you I am not looking for any fifteen minutes of fame; you have missed interpreted me okay!
He was in DA in the early seventies. Either 70 or 71. The Queen sent him to view the damages. It is good.
I think some of you blogers need to go study history
And why don’t you tell me why slavery was concentrated in West Africa? Because the Portuguese already dealt with this group when enslaving them and bringing them to Portugal. They had a stronghold on Elmina (modern day Ghana) and were able transport them across the Atlantic. Your point of Goree island is irrelevant and has held no weight in this discussion. And we all know that slaves were brought from Goree island to Roseau. I don’t see what point you were making, we are all agree that that the slave trade took place….
So now your telling us how Africans from different ethnic groups who before the formation of the disapora had no link to one another should have subdued the Europeans who often times played into tribal wars who came with machinery and weaponry that the world has never seen before??? You sir are truly a different kind of self hate. I did not spell Africa as Afrika so…..
You with no name are simply grabbing unto thin air looking for information okay: didn’t I mention the British, Dutch as well as the Portuguese were mainly responsible for the salve trade?
So, what’s the point of asking that stupid question, didn’t you read where I stated if you are seeking money for the blood and tears of our ancestors, you will also have to get paid by the Black West Africans, British, Dutch, Portuguese, and et, al. whosoever was involved!
If I cannot benefit educationally from the discussion, it is a waste of time to debate. Even at my age I am open for learning, not simply to argue to make myself feel good; in the first place you do not have a recognizable name, so who am I debating! I do not take kindly to people who are fictitious.
I am Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque originated (born) in the Village of Wesley; American Citizen residing in Los Angeles California, Identify yourself, then we can debate!
Also, do you realize that you are comparing 50 year old tiny nations to 300 year old powerhouses? But sure go ahead and play into the slave master’s dream of blaming OURSELVES for being enslaved! On to your next point- yes I do believe in holding the Portuguese responsible because they held a monopoly on the slave trade. The Dutch? No , but Bonaire and Saba can hit them up. Also, slavery ended more than 500 years ago? Check your math- it was not in the legislation until 1834 (for the British Caribbean). On to your next point. Benefiting from the atrocities of OUR PEOPLE? Benefit is a bad word, but have you ever heard of the holocaust? Payment to 9/11 victim’s families? On to the next point. Are we going to hand pick who receives payment? Of course not migration has taken place and we know that the UK crown did not keep accurate records of their property. SO that’s why I said reparations in the form of AIDE to the government. And why don’t you tell me why slavery was…
Excellent discussion Conscious. Your grasp of the subject matter is impressive.
No aid to government for slavery. It will always stick with those who decide who gets what. Is not poor malaway that benefit from it.
First of all Francisco, relax , trust me if I met you on the street I wouldn’t give you a second glance let alone find the energy to kill you. To answer the question why the African nations did not form a United States of Africa shows your lack of knowledge on this subject. Have you ever heard of the Pan African Movement? The leader of the largest movement in the West Marcus Garvey was framed by the FBI and sent back to Jamaica when the CIA (of your beloved western nations that you believe holds no responsibility) realized the African diaspora was uniting. During the 1990s European nations began granting independence to most of their colonies including the ones in Africa. A United States of Africa WAS the goal but do you think Europeans would allow that? They simply traded colonialism for neocolonialism. Before leaving their colonies in Africa they HANDPICKED the leaders of the new nations and were still controlling the country behind the scenes. Also, do you realize that you…
To the ones who calls themselves bahamas & out of Trinidad, one very important lesson my late father taught me, is never to argue with people of a lessor intelligence, in other words I should never argue with a fools; because no matter how one tries to reason with a fool, they can never understand the simplest of concept, because they can only understand their own thoughts.
If the idea did not originate in their mind they cannot understand other peoples concept of anything.
You two have no concept of cognitive thinking and understanding; hence you believe calling me out of my name, calling me pathologically ill will not help. You two are so hungry for something free, so much so that you will kill me if you had a chance to do so. Well, I fear no man on earth, and your confounded arguments cannot fade me or change the truth!
If you were not dumb, one of the first question you would ask yourselves is: How come in all of Africa, the slave trade was concentrated on West Africa…
Cont:
If you were not dumb, one of the first question you would ask yourselves is: How come in all of Africa, the slave trade was concentrated on West Africa period! All of the slaves brought to the Caribbean and the America’s were brought out of West Africa! Mind you the slave traders did not go hunting and capturing people,they went and paid African leaders who did the hunting, had the cargo of slaves ready for the arrival of the slave traders.
Stop being so stupid and ignorant. Had the Africans not be the upholder of slavery, there would not be slavery in the Western Hemisphere! Answer this, how come they did not go to North, East, and South Africa to capture slaves?
The fact is the distance to Goree island which was a shipping port; still in existent this day was too far to cover walking, the slaves and traders would die before getting to the 45-acre island, where the slaves boarded the ship. Now answer this, Goree island is only 45 Acres: How many millions of Black…
Finally:
How many millions of Black people of different tribes occupied West Africa in the Slave trade era? They could have surround that forty-five acre island at anytime and subdued the slave ships, free the captured people and end slavery before they had the opportunity to extract millions of black people out of “West Africa.”
By the way if any you the two idiots who believe I am sick, if you can read maps, take a look and you will see there is a straight line from Goree island to Roseau in Dominica to the old market where slave brought to the West Indies were bought and transported to other islands of the Caribbean, and the America’s.
Writing Africa, as “Afrika” does not mean one is educated, if anything that exposes one stupidity!
I do not have to read any book about slavery and religion: I could educate you better by introducing you to the Vessy Denmark insurrection in the 1800’s right here in the Unite States of America. I have a an African name and came…
You two who believe you know so much: My family have a history, my name originate in Senegal West Africa, I do not have a slave name: Although history claims Vesey was born in St. Thomas we know different he was brought to the West Indies as a slave ship cabin boy, hence he always knew his name was Telemaque!
And he did as much damage rebelling to end slavery: So, read me and be quiet!
Denmark Vesey (also Telemaque) (ca. 1767 – July 2, 1822) was a literate, skilled carpenter and leader among African Americans in Charleston, South Carolina. He was accused and convicted of being the ringleader of “the rising,”[1] a major potential slave revolt planned for the city in June 1822; he was executed. Likely born into slavery in St. Thomas, he served a master in Bermuda for some time before being brought to Charleston, where he gained his freedom.[2]
I commend you for researching into your personal family history but what exactly is your point sir?? And on another point, you must understand that your refusal to hold Europeans accountable for the slave trade is quite sad and literally was the slave master’s agenda. I hope you are proud. Am I one of those pan Africanists who believe that all of our struggles today are “because of the white man”? No . But your inability to acknowledge that we were STOLEN from our land is quite disturbing. I will not call you an Uncle Tom because that is disrespectful. But this makes me think that my next research will be examining the effects of PTSD in former slave populations. Good day sir.

In the first place, I would not waste my time to respond that certain fool if I thought comprehension or understanding was the reason the reason he or she was foolish
However, instead of ignoring that person, you went on and on, to tell that individual, why you believe that he or she was a fool, through 3 entries of a thousand words. Is that nor FOOLISH of you? I think it is!
And bt the way you have 3 grammatical errors through that 4 lines of yours above–they also make you sound foolish you see! Hehehehehehehehe!
Elizabeth, I refuse to either argue with you or even respond to anything you say about oui!
I doh think I need to tell you if ah do, perhaps ah go make you smart: so, whereas allegations can become factual, I am staying out of that, I have no intentions of arguing with you on DNO as you know we have another place for that I can level you flat like a pancake.
And remember yours is a slave name eh, Xavier some French man owned your family nuh! Hahahahahahahahahh!
“You know we have another place for that I can level you flat like a pancake”.
I read where you said to the person identified as “conscious”, that you are not seeking attention or popularity; what do you think you have done above with stupid and flawed line above?
I am not part of your (we) on whatever forum, I only respond to your stupidity when you mention my name in it–one of your ways to seek attention–it a good thing that I am learning to ignore there, just like all the others do.
You want people to identify themselves, even if it is where they live, that you can find something personal to write against them; how I regret that I ever responded to your email address. which you were leaving here, on DNO. Now tell me why were you doing that sort of thing if you were not seeking for attention?
Right now you have conquered the “Facts” of Toronto, by leaving more comments on the comment board of DNO, than she used to do. How come?
It seems like is in death some people will change their hatred hearts and by then it will be to late. God have mercy on you all
I read but cannot help to notice our interest in the past, playing the blaming game and desiring money. We know what happened before with the various tribes.. ashanti, dahomi, Yoruba…slavery… We know that slavery is oppression and possession which came from the devil! We also know that slavery still exists today!
We know that we can learn from the past too but my question is, what did we learn from the past which will benefit us in the future? Are we taking full advantage of this knowledge?
We read history books upon another. We become highly educated and qualified which i support, however the things we really need to know we neglect! The bible says the the foolishness of God is wiser than man! Imagine that! The oldest History, present and Future (prophesy) book is the Holy bible!
It tells us what happened before, what happens now, and what will happen in the future! Yet we study Timbuktu and Mansamusa, and argue the inevitable with a boastful pride of education.
Continuation:
Did you not study that these people worshiped many Gods who represent the demonic? Did you not know that the Muslim faith was strengthened in this territory? you play with fire and you get burnt! These ritual practices and beliefs are the primary cause of many of these ancient African settlements being burdened.
We must break these generational curses if we are to survive! Have you heard the saying that black people keeping each other down? We must break free of these beliefs.
Any religion which does not profess Jesus Christ to be the lord and savior is demonic! The bible says that there are two spirits in this world. Spirit of God and spirit of the world.
Why is Islam’s color green, Haiti’s color red…… What spirits rules over these principalities? What role will Islam play in the end time? if the Antichrist spirit was in the world when Jesus Christ was here imagine how much headway it has made today! This is your responsibility people! Your immortal future!
continuation: Why is the world saturated with the occult, free masons, Santaria ,Palomaiumbre, Spiritualism, including yoga! Wake up people!
While we sleep these people and spirits are working!
It is fervent prayer without ceasing! Not an aloe tree stuck upside down over your door. Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
Wake up people!
May the name of Jesus be praised!
“Did you not study that these people worshiped many Gods who represent the demonic? Did you not know that the Muslim faith was strengthened in this territory? ”
Now you are talking nonsense! What does Muslim faith have to do with Slavery?
Muslim religion is something that originated in North Africa, every African is not a Muslim, and even if as the Bible mentioned Slavery which was traditional, as when it speaks of male and made servants and resting on the Sabbath day, that had nothing to do with the sort slavery we are talking about!
The kind of slavery the Bible spoke about people accepted that willingly, they were indentured slaves okay.
“The kind of slavery the Bible spoke about people accepted that willingly, they were indentured slaves okay”. :arrow (FransiscoTelemaque)
Once again your idea here, pertaining to the slaves of the Bible, is quite flawed, for it the Israelites in Egypt had willingly accepted to live as slaves, why were they calling unto a Most High, whom they then described as the “God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” to deliver them from that bondage of slavery:?:
It is said that they suffered as slaves by the hands of the Kings of Egypt for 400 years. until God had completely prepared Moses along with his brother Aaron to be their deliverer by His Power and Authority.
Joseph, who was one of Israel’s favorite son, was sold by his brothers into the hands of slavery to the tribe of Ismael, who was Abraham’s first son through Sarah’s maidservant’, an Egyptian woman named Hagai. Ishmael grew up in Egypt; and was Muslim or Islam, according to the Muslims of today.
You know about the Passover Celebration od ancient Israelites–that celebration was ordained by God to observe the day He delivered them from the bondage of Slavery in Egypt; the Lamb Supper during that celebration was to remind them how the blood of the Lamb had identified their homes from that of the people of Egypt, to protect them from the last plague which was death
So the New Testament continues with that theme, God wanting to set His people free from our bondage of slavery, only today that bondage means the slave of sins, by the commands of our human senses to gratify the lusts and passions of the flesh.
The blood of Jesus represents the Blood of the Lamb, the slaughtering of the Lamb was His crucifixion on the cross.–hence his suffering, bleeding and dying for the sake of Life in His people. Wha does Muslim faith have to do with slavery you say! Do some research about Isamael, or have you ever heard of him?
Okay, Elizabeth, I did not remember the four hundred years of the Israelite in Egypt: But even then they brought that on themselves. Now remember they were told by God not to go into Egypt.
I anticipate you will want me to produce a chapter and verse, but I am unable to do that right now, but since “you is preacher eh, and I doh is parson, priest, elder bishop or pope,” and you know plenty more scriptures than I know, perhaps it will take you less time to find it than I can!
And don’t get too happy with your little foot self, because this is the first time you caught me in an error, or at least forgetting something eh!
Okay, I can’t do otherwise than to give you some credit this time!
Have a happy life running upstairs to tell your ugly Jamaicans friends how you caught me forgetting something oui; you know dem ugly people when dem talk I doh can understand what dem saying:
Hahahahahahahahahahahah!
“But even then they brought that on themselves. Now remember they were told by God not to go into Egypt” Telemaque” Telemaque
There you go again trying to excuse your lack of knowledge about God and His Word, as you speak things which continue to expose your lack of wisdom and understanding. Everyone knows that about you; except that you do not know it about yourself.
There is no such thing, as you mentioned above, in the Bible, so don’t expect to locate it for you, not even for $1 million in return
Jacob, better known as Israel, and has 11 sons traveled to Egypt since God had made Joseph, the son of Jacob’s wife, Rachel., an Emporer to the King’s throne because Joseph was able to interpret his dream about 7 years of famine which was approaching.–while he was in prison.
This is a very long story, which I cannot write here, but you can read Chapters 37-50 of the Book of Genesis, you will it all there.
But if you read where I said that Joseph was sold to the Tribe of Ishmael–who was actually his grand uncle, through Isaac, who was Jacob’s father, in that Isaac was the brother of Ismael.
Jacob and his sons traveled to Egypt because there was famine in their homeland; except that Egypt was full of grains. Through Joseph, they were able to go there –that was all part of God’s plans for the Israelites.
So that one family multiplied while they lived in Egypt, that explains why they lived there for 400 years; even their bondage of slavery was God’s plan to get them to know Him, as their Mighty God of Spirit and Truth, whom they did not know, but they believed in Him. As the 12 sons of Jacob multiplied in Egypt, they became 12 tribes of people–hence the twelve tribes of Israel whom God choose to be HIs people.
Today both Jews and non-Jews are God’s people by our in faith His Christ–the name is Jesus We are known as Christians –Acts 11: 26
I so dearly hope the UK can help. I am here in the US, we don’t even take care of our own any more. . . .take any help you can get! At least it’s not China!
@ Nancy, The UK have already been helping Dominica with quite a lot of help and lots more to come so don’t worry darling.
Shame on you Mr Telemaque. Your masters have done a good job keeping you in mental slavery!
@ Indrid, I’m not a big time fan of Mr Francisco comments,But this time man bites Dogs must agree with what he said and he is right i once said the same in Pottersvile Steber street and one idiot told me I was talking rubbish, The white man never went into the jungle or villages looking for black people it was the same black man that sold us to the white man for peanuts, I support Mr Telemaque views.
You see Man bite Dog, people prefer a lie all the time over the truth you know. If you had join forces with those you encounter, and blame the white man for the rain that falls regularly in Dominica, they would agree with you.
They would love you!
Blame the white man for all of our ills, we do not take responsibility for anything! After forty 40 years of independence we are still blaming the British for our nations poverty. A hole new generation was born after independence, that generation do not know anything about colonization, nevertheless they are blaming Britten and white people for our poverty, and backwardness!
Dominicans have forgotten that when we were chasing the few whites out of our country, claiming we could do better with them; that would cause them to let go. They gave us political independence, without economic independence, now we are climbing a gum tree backwards, they want to sue for free money!
My African grandparents died long ago I do not wish…
” A hole new generation was born”
Okay, before they say I dunce oui!
Let that read ” a whole generation was born!”
Finally, some enlightenment pertaining to the real truth of the matter.
Whosoever you are I will tell what has done a good job on me!
Note: College, and University has done a very good job, in that I am highly academically educated, that is why the garbage that a nobody like you spew has any effect on me, If I was witting on the white man to help me, I would not be as successful as I am.
The White man enslaved my African grand parents, kept the majority illiterate; however they created the institutions in which I went and get the same education, and in most case better than some white people I know. My grandmother was born in the year 1890, died in 1993 at the age of 103 years old, she could read and write better than most of you I find on DNO writing rubbish!
She did not blame white people, and though she was born closer to the era of slavery, I never heard her say the with man owe her anything. And mind you She was an acolyte the late Marcus Garvey! She was a leader in the back to Africa movement, and was the first to inform me that Telemaque,…
Francisco
I don’t think that in your highly academically educated endeavours English Language was included in the curriculum. It couldn’t have been.
Secondly, bright people do not keep trying to convince the world that they are bright, they speak and write and do bright things! I try to read your posts and be “objective” in doing so but no matter how hard I try, you just keep coming across as “objectionable” whatever the topic.
By the way, Francisco
I agree generally with your line of argument.
She was a leader in the back to Africa movement, and was the first to inform me that Telemaque, hopefully one of my great, great grandfathers’ came from Senegal, however not as a field slave but a very skilful man who knew how to turn cane-juice into sugar, right there on Londonderry Estate in Wesley.
She had a sister, in Marigot; that is Lois Robinson you all hear on Q95 calling from Florid so often grandmother, they were both born in the 1800’s smart as they come in the 1800’s. Both were alongside Marcus Garvey promoting the back to Africa movement of Black people; they never thought Lois and I to be dependent on neither black or white, or look forward to getting anything free from any body.
Do not cry shame on me: because you have the mind of an idiot; I am not responsible for your condition. Everything I have written on the subject can be substantiated, put that in you crack pipe and smoke it!
A waste of time. Britain pulled out of DA because it was not financially profitable. The sun never sets on the English empire.
…and Patrick John thought he could find gold? Look at where is now> I say no more.
The UK were asked to leave the territory because the People of Dominica wanted independence and quite right to. The UK has supported the Commonwealth of Dominica ever since. It was financially profitable when the UK handed over control.
I heard of his visit through the Toronto Media. He will view these countries and when he returns give his parents an account of the situation. They, in turn, including Prince Charles will send some sort of financial help (more) to these islands. His influence will also cause some well-off UK nationals to help these countries.
Be positive and broadminded fellow Dominicans. Look at his visit positively. He would not leave the UK for nothing, just to be a spectator and to go on a sight-seeing tour. His very own parents may have initiated his visit. Therefore, let us welcome him with open arms and smiling faces.
The Monarchy has not given up on Dominica even though the government of Dominica of past years sought independence and received it. They still have warm feelings for Dominica.
Know that I love the Queen! God bless our gracious Queen!
Canada is still a sovereign country.
This is dominica time to let my comment flow
That would be his third visit to Dominica. He first visited Dominica in the late 60’s or early 70’s unofficially as a navel officer on a British warship.
Hahahha, a navel officer Emile? Does he look like and orange????
Pardner, stay where you are! You are not going to do a thing alleviate the sufferings of the people. Stuuuuuuupes!!!
Dd your Baroness come with a sack of money? I have no opinion on Prince Charles, she leaves me cold but we are too biased and greedy.
Great while he’s here let’s talk about our well deserved reparations!
What type of reparation are you talking about?
Looking for free money,from the blood and tears of dead former slaves; as some of the so called elites in Dominica has suggested. You better understand no white man could have gone into Africa: West Africa, hunt and captured our forefathers, women and children, and brought them to Dominica without the help and cooperation of some Black African tribesmen.
Our kings, and rulers during the days of the slave trade are the ones who should be held responsible for the misery they caused, in most cases to their very own flesh and blood!
The colonial British set you free after you crave political independence; not knowing political independence without economic independence values nothing. Rather than talking nonsense hoping to crawl on your belly like a slimy snake looking for something free;think of ways to develop the country economically, so that you can become economically independent, thus when another hurricane comes around we will…
I agree with Francesco, that slave trade could not have happened without the cooperation of our African rulers. As for compensation, if you study which people were paid compensation in our little country most of them have black descendants here, that are alive today their families having a Dominican passport Even one of our our own Presidents’ forebears who destroyed the maroons was one of them Check it if you don’t believe me.`if anyone should get compensation it should have been those who really suffered but they are all dead. You all want to cash money for people that long dead already? Sometimes I despair of my own people.
Do I believe that the UK crown will simply write a check for a billion dollars for the mistreatment of our ancestors? Of course not. The idea of former colonies asking for reparations in the form of aid is not new . Let us not forget that these colonial powers often paid THE SLAVE MASTER reparations after abolition to cover the cost of losing there property (slaves). And for the age old argument of blaming our African brothers and sisters for selling us into slavery. Much of these African kingdoms had slaves of there own. What differentiated the transatlantic slave trade from these age old slavery was one that the societies in the west were slave societies , societies ran COMPLETELY on slave labor. When Africans had slaves ,their children were FREE. One could not buy an entire bloodline. Whites came with weapons that these tribes would not subdue . Please take a basic Africana class before trying to school me.

Thanks!
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque that is European propaganda nonsense. Don’t blame the victims of slavery (the victimization of the victim) The Afrikans/blacks that assisted the European slave bastards had NO CHOICE in the matter but to assist in the capture of their Afrikan brothers and sisters other wise they themselves would be taken captive in the Americas.. Our master historians Dr. John Henrik Clarke and Dr. Leonard Jeffires put that LIE to rest a long time ago…When Afrikan people talk about reparations for slavery, you pathological European devils always blaming the victims…

Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque you are pathological sick in your head..
“Much of these African kingdoms had slaves of there own. ”
Okay, in the quote are your words; whoever, you are with no name! There was always tribal wars, division, and conflict on the continent of Africa, even to this present day. In university I met many Africans, whom I asked why is it they do not form a united Africa as the we have in the United States of America?
On more than one occasion I was emphatically told they are not interested in that; I suppose the same as dating back to more than four hundred years of slavery, and prior to that. Take a close look at Nigeria; you have the Uroba tribe, and other such tribes, they do not get along at home in their country, and they hate each other even here in America.
The same applied to tribes in West Africa where a 100% of the slaves brought to the America’s and the Caribbean during slavery. Our forefathers are responsible for the mess because they sold us into slavery; so if you wish to hold the British responsible, you…
Cont:
Our forefathers are responsible for the mess because they sold us into slavery; so if you wish to hold the British responsible, you need to also hold all the nations in West Africa responsible too. To crown it all the Dutch, and Portuguese also traded slaves, are you going to demand reparation from them also?
I do not understand your theory of slave owners or traders were paid reparation for any slave, I don’t have to prove that they did not get paid for free slaves, the fact is Slavery was abolished almost five hundred years plus!
So, my question to you is why do you want to benefit from the atrocities perpetrated on a people; besides if you are looking for money, and the British hand a few pence: which surviving relative of one dead slave you know alive who will benefit directly?
This talk of reparation is nothing more than a get rich scam thought of by waste of time money glutting hungry people who do not have any ambition to work hard, and accomplish…
WHOOOO let me get my Wob together for this visit My colors are Blue Red and Green to represent unity!!!
Who vex get lost i will be in attendance the PM is catering his private jet to see to it i make it for this one . WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Interesting, as I know him to be outspoken critic on the subject of dreary townscapes and soulless housing.
I hope he puts his name down as one of the 200 contenders in the PM’s resilient housing competition.
Roger, whatever happened to that housing development in Bellevue Chopin for the people of Petit Savane . ? Have not heard a word about this. Did it survive the storm, just like Just like the new Jungle Bay, not a word. Have investors lost the money they put in that ambitious development? Why doesn’t anyone talk? But we are talking about celebrating carnival! What is wrong with us?
My information is scanty on the Bellevue Chopin “townhouse” development but I believe it has suffered a serious set back.
On the other hand, I understand from a reliable source that the villagers that remained or returned to Petite Savane fared better than most. This brings into question the “expert(s)” that declared the locality unsafe, period!
respectfully whats the purpose of his visit really??? why do we in our present state of affairs have to spend for protocol vehicle security etc to entertain Charles at this time? is he walking with an aid package from Britain?? just ,y thoughts
Britain has increased the aid package and was one of the first countries to do so. Maybe, just maybe the question should be “Where has it gone?”
was that when he first came to Dominica. He was handsome then
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
This is not the Prince 1st official visit to DOMINICA
He did visited DOMINICA in trhe early 80’s and presented awards to tudents “The Duke of Edinburgh awards”
That was his father, Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh
