    The OECS authorities could hurry and send armed men to Dominca and who teargased people of Salisbury whilst in their beds. They know of a devastating earthquake which hit Haiti and these guys couldn’t mobilize some boat loads of food and water to help the people of Haiti? Instead they are putting out a statement with empty talk. The people of Haiti are hungry and need food and water, for crying out loud.
