Below is an audio statement from Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit on the controversy surrounding the establishment of such relations with Syria (an ally of Russia) during the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. Syria has also been accused of ongoing human rights atrocities.
The news broke recently that Dominica had signed an agreement to establish diplomatic relations with Syria through its permanent representative to the UN – Loreen Bannis-Roberts.
The Prime Minister has confirmed that Ambassador Loreen Bannis-Roberts has resigned from her position effective May 31st (though she is on leave with immediate effect) as permanent representative to the UN following a face-to-face meeting with her this week.
The Prime Minister distanced himself and his administration from the Ambassador’s decision to sign on to diplomatic relations with Syria and stated that “for the record neither the minister nor the Ministry of Foreign affairs…” gave instruction or expressed interest in, or “…the desire to pursue the establishment of relations with Syria at this or any foreseeable time”.
@ Francisco, campaigning to defeat your opponents at the polls will never be a reality for the UWP. We proved again in Grandbay some months ago. You and your acolytes campaigned so hard for dirty handbag that at the end of the day it turned out to be the sad story of an old man from Wesley who is yet to accept the facts of life.
ds, UWP perhaps will never win an election in the country unless our ignorant (don’t know) people come to realize that the country will never move forward economically as long as Roosevelt Skerrit is Prime Minister, and is in a position of selling Dominica, passports, and using the proceeds to buy, people, and bribe them into voting labor!
What happened in Grand Bay was not surprising to anyone; tell me how can a penniless candidate compete with a man who walked up and down the village, from East West North & South, with more than a dozen note books, and asking people “what do they want from him in order to vote for him.”
When the demand a truck, car house Salt-fish and rice; that politician wrote their names in his book, and in a day or so, he spends his millions supplying what the ignorant people say they want.
Well, UWP is not in power, the party do not have a source from which to money!
Con:
So ds, the UWP is not in power of governmental control over the treasury; the UWP are not passport sales persons; they have no source of thieving government money to buy votes eh!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
How can they win election in the country, when only people who …………….. give things to people wins? Doc, I am going to reveal this without naming certain names. But ds, if you remember Dr. Johnathan Prevost M.D; he contested an election in Dominica, if memory services me correctly he secured 25% of the votes in a certain constituency, and lost.
Cumming to find out the reason he did not win, as he was told by people in the places he ran was: they love him, and knew what he was talking about is true, nevertheless, they did not vote for him because he was not giving away anything free to them!
Admin, Jonathan will not sue if you print this; he is my relative, college and friend!
Shameful ds!
Is it true that Bannister-Roberts was paid two million to go silently. After all she knows were one or two of those famous skeletons are hidden.
In June 2017 Skerrit made a big speech promising a sports complex to provide a venue for basketball, netball, volleyball, tennis and swimming both with indoor and outdoor courts. He went further and uttered that a contract had already been signed with a firm from Puerto Rico. My question, has anybody seen this sports complex and where did they see it or was it yet another one of those famous Skerrit Fata Morganas? Again it proofs that the man is a notorious liar that fools Dominicans on a daily basis. The newest Fata Morgana is that state of the art International Airport. Simply, what I’m saying here, do not believe this man, don’t trust this man. This man has no values! He can’t help himself lying and deceiving. Were are the 1.2 billion CBI money, where are the 100 million PetroCaribe Dollars. Didn’t he promise in 2019 he would account for the CBI money? Anybody seen the account?
Here is a snapshot of the New Arab (Syrian opposition news network):
‘News of the Syrian regime’s establishment of ties with Dominica was met with derision by Syrian social media users.
The Caribbean country – not to be confused with the larger Dominican Republic – is little-known in the Arab world.
The Syrian opposition news website Orient reported that regime-affiliated businessmen and entertainers had recently acquired Dominican citizenship.
The country has a scheme under which foreigners can acquire citizenship, without any residency requirement, by “donating” $100,000 to its Economic Development Fund or investing $200,000 in real estate development’.
Now this clearly explains why Skerrit wanted the relationship with this rogue government. Skerrit can’t be trusted!!!
Skerrit, how many passports did you sell to Syrians?
You know, whereas I do not entertain any form of respect for someone as Lorane Barnis, all because of her backstabbing of the UWP when she jumped unto the late Rosie Douglas failed bandwagon, when he offered her a trip to England, in order for her to switch sides, which prevented the UWP from forming the government; we remember how that coalition ended!
In spite of that I would never lose my head to think for one moment that Lorane a low-level nobody politician in corrupted Roosevelt Skerrit regime could ever wake up one morning and decided with her belly filled with beer; drafted a diplomatic agreement with any nation, especially a corrupted Asad of the terrorist sponsored nation Syria sign it on behalf of Roosevelt Skerrit.
While Roosevelt babbles blaming that woman, Dominicans should use this to assess his mental faculties, one who is supposed to be the prime minister of Dominica. The nonsense Roosevelt spoke while blaming his nobody subordinate, is an indication the man must:
I took some time (wasted time) out of my life listening to Roosevelt on the subject and came to the conclusion that Roosevelt is either a notorious compulsive pathetic liar, or something is very wrong with him psychologically!
I cannot for one moment visualize that the head of a government:
President, prime minister, or even a punk dictator could talk such nonsense to justify their very own behavior, their very own doings!
One can only come to the conclusion, the man might be mentally ill, perhaps totally insane, in practical terms “damn crazy.”
If the liar Roosevelt knew nothing about Lorane activities, the simple alternative would be for him to fire her; but he can’t because he is a damn liar using Lorane as a scapegoat; and because nobody like her love to be in things, she will take her kicking and shut up in order to protect Roosevelt?
What a disgrace!
My take on this is that Skerrit throw Loreen under de bus because he had some heavies lean on him over selling passports to Syrians and Russians because of the Ukraine ting. It is called self preservation, which I think is cowardly on his part. think there’s a lot more fallout to come out from that.
@ds, if you understand that in business there are risks then you would not put out the garbage about parents leaving debt to their children. This BS you write just shows your lack of professionalism and understanding of the real world. To suggest that Loreen Bannis who served the cabal for the past twenty years is not worthy shows how callous and low you as an individual are. Time will tell. Answer the question then why did your cabal sign papers for diplomatic relations with Afghanistan, and Uzbekistan? Skerritt’s passport agent was praising the signing of diplomatic relations with Syria on March 8th and you are acting like Skerritt knew nothing about it? Even if Loreen sold her to be in bed with Skerritt over the past decade what does it say about you to write such garbage about her? You are a low lifer, period. Didn’t Russia defend Syria and didn’t Skerritt’s government have diplomatic relations with Russia? Go figure.
Monday after this explosive news hit the airways and Skerro still in office laughing all the way to the bank holding the sac-mahyule full of money on his back. Hence the problem I have with we the people.
Forget UWP because many of us say they complaining too much but the very same people are on radio running their mouth while traffic flows freely in Roseau and environs while Skerro and his entire cabinet sips red wine while eating lobster. I truly expected to hear the Catholic church, DPSU, NJAM, CCM and Moon-Serwuuyeah(?) jointly calling for mass protest. Sadly me and my 10 Ukraine Boozii are still at home waiting for the call. People let us STOP the talk and remove these guys from office.
For Dca to grow Skerro must go!
OMG Skerrit! Why would Bannis-Roberts sign this document full well knowing it would be the end of her well paid job? Did Bannis-Roberts design and produce this document herself or was it produced by the ministry? Why don’t you show the minutes of that meeting in your office on Thursday to the citizens of DA? Isn’t it a fact that you can’t do that. Is it true that you paid Bannis-Roberts two million dollars to fall on her sword? Why would you do that if the story you just gave us is true?? By the way, I for one haven’t got a big problem with CBI, but the problem I have is YOU for failing to account properly for the proceeds of this program, in particular some missing two billion dollars. You have form Sir, and that is why I for one don’t trust you. Could you tell me what happened to the hundred million USdollars that Venezuela hat to write off. Where is that PetroCaribe money??? It’s time for you to resign while the going for you is still good. I am convinced this is your downfall!
PM throw me under a Truck and a backhoe if is that kind of payoff I getting.
I have one question. Why is the agreement suspended indefinitely, instead of being nullified and voided?
Because it is not; if it is nullified, declared null and void, the opportunity to sell Dominica passports to the criminals out of Syria will also become null.
Syria is a terrorist sponsored state, Asad and Putin are on the same level, take a look at this very moment, at the time you are reading this, which I am writing at 9:02 PM California (Los Angeles) time. You will discover Putin is killing women and children in Ukraine; that criminal has bomb Maternity Hospitals, killing women giving birth, mothers and children in their womb are killed by Putin’s missiles.
Putin supported Asad in the many years long war against his own people in Syria, even using chemical weapons against his people, those are the kinds of political war criminals Roosevelt Skerrit has chosen to be his friends and want to be associates okay!
Don’t forget that Francine Baron, and Roosevelt Skerrit has long established diplomatic relationship with Putin Russia.
Isaiah 22;
“Yes, I will drive you out of office,” says the Lord. “I will pull you down from your high position. 20 And then I will call my servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah to replace you. 21 I will dress him in your royal robes and will give him your title and your authority. And he will be a father to the people of Jerusalem and Judah. 22 I will give him the key to the house of David—the highest position in the royal court. When he opens doors, no one will be able to close them; when he closes doors, no one will be able to open them
The double doctorate dude told us that the ambassador did nothing wrong yet he accused her of acting on the behalf of himself and his government in signing papers for the establishment of diplomatic relations with Syria when they knew “nothing” about it. If she acted in the absence of the authority of himself and the government then she did do something wrong and shouldn’t have to resign but should be fired. Liar, liar your pants are on fire. Patriotic Dominicans are not foolish and we don’t believe that lie.
I need to over stand what is really going on with this diplomatic relations saga with Dominica and Syria.
1) CS Global Partners specialize in residency and citizenship by investment (CBI) solutions. We’re headquartered in the UK, with offices across the Middle East, Africa and Asia. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH GOVERMENTS ALL YEAR ROUND to increase their foreign direct investment, and offer citizenship and residency advisory services to professionals.
2)Syria, Commonwealth of Dominica sign agreement to establish diplomatic relations (March 08th 2022)
3) CS GLOBAL Publish statement about the diplomatic ties10th March 2022.
My question is after the signing of the documents, did CS GLOBAL receive communique before the foreign minister or the Prime Minister of Dominica?
Thank you ma Boyd for the expose’ on that one, and many others…
I’m waiting for Gregor, Tony, Sam and Vince to come out in defense of Dominca. They jumped on the leader of the opposition and said he was tarnishing the good name of Dominca for speaking with CBS, which Gaston Brown, the leader of Antigua, also did but wasn’t singled out as a traitor. Now that Skerritt’s government is seen as indirectly violating the sanctions against Russia, I’m waiting to hear Gregor and others to whom the good name of Dominca is second to none, so they would have us believe. If they remain silent then I will consider them traitors and scum bags to our beloved country, Dominca. I’m listening because the news is out there and Lennox Linton hasn’t got a damn thing to do with it.
These Caricom leaders and technocrats like to echo their empty mantra of independence and territorial integrity, but I’m sure it was the mighty US which laid down the hammer to the dumb double doctorate dude about consequences to having diplomatic relations with Syria which is amassing 100,000 fighters to send to help Russia in it’s actions in Ukraine. Skerritt hurriedly required the UN ambassador come home and then he gave a nonsensical excuse that she was a loose cannon who approached Syria and signed the paperwork on her own. Having been party to signing dozens of such papers with many other nations Loreen must know the process and what it involves. Who does Skerritt think he’s fooling? but the fact that the action happened and the paperwork was signed means that Washington will hold Skerritt to the fire. They know it’s him and not the average Dominican. What about territorial integrity Caricom? and why you don’t come out defending Skerritt? Foolish Paper tigers!!.
Show me your company and I’ll tell you who you are. These are Wider it’s closest confidants and best friends: *Warmonger – Vladimir Putin *Despotic – Xi Jumping *Butcher of human beings – Basher al-Qaeda’s
Dominicans, like minds stick together. Your miserable lot will never change with this greedy, selfish, ungodly, corrupt, dim-witted, to fatally dishonest man as prime minister.
who else can make decisions even sign documents on behalf of Dominica without Skerrit knowledge? He is talking to his lovers
But wait nuh, Bambish go and sign with no APPARENT authority and is allowed to resign? What f..kress is that? And then she will get a fat gratuity on the backs of taxpayers? And the authorities will say she served the state with fidelity?
Those wicked souls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ADMIN, do a story please on the procedures followed to establish relations between Dominica and other countries.
Does the PM really want us to believe that a lowly ambassador initiated and completed diplomatic relations with one of the worlds most notorious regimes all on her own!?
My people NO WAY in the world does any government even initiate the establishing of diplomatic relations at the ambassador level. Such discussions would begin at the highest level. Head of government and/or foreign minister level. And the process of initiating talks to the actual establishment of relations does not happen overnight.
So NO WAY IN HELL can the PM convince this Dominican that this was not of his doing. Especially not as autocratic as he is.
But historically that’s what happens to political leaders who stay in power for as long as the PM has. They start to feel invisible. They feel that they can get away with almost anything. That they can sell the citizens anything and they will buy.
This fiasco is mind boggling!
What is going on with our people? The ambassador was removed from her role for her ignorance and negligence and has resigned from her role as result. It was stated by the prime Minister that nor his foreign minister or any member of his administration has anything to do with the matter that’s why such action was taken effective immediately at the findings….so why are we accuing that the prime Minister knows when the matter has been explained and taken care of….isn’t this taking politics to the next level….why does one leaving abroad have to read such hatred, opposition and animosity among our people for the sake of politics?
Can anyone opposing prove that the government of Dominica was indeed involved in the matter?
If not let’s not divide ourselves among ourselves. Remember a house that is divided can not stand.
One love ❤ Dominica. I love you. May the good Lord of the Heavens and Earth bless us all.
Whata royal donkey
yo maybe even believe the crap you posted we.
Perhaps your PM forgot to tell us that he paid Loreen 2 million EC$ for taking the blame. I said it before on numerous occasions, YOUR PM is a gangster and that is all that is to it. All you voted for him now it is all your duty to get rid of him. The problem might be he has to much on all you. Am I right?
Remind me, who divided the house in the first place? I could have sworn it was YOUR PM and the likes of Austrie and other DLP mouthpieces.
This is what the notorious Supreme Leader wants you to believe. Mrs. Bannis-Roberts got up one day, without any discussion with him nor any other member of the Cabinet, signed an agreement on behalf of the government and people of Dominica, to have diplomatic relationship with Syria.
The apex con-artiist wants to disrespect our intelligence. Only brain dead idiots like ds, CA Roots, Dog Abuser and Lie Clown will fall for the garbage that he read.
Now that Ambassador Loreen Bannis (my school mate) has resigned, then it is imperative that the Minister of Foreign Affairs (her boss) has to resign as well.
In the practice of transparency everyone involved has to assume their responsibility in this grave international diplomatic faux pas that has put Dominica in major disrepute.
Loreen did not/cannot act alone and cannot be the only one to take the blame or be destroyed here.
We are awaiting the resignation or DISMISSAL of Minister Kenneth Darroux forthwith.
Without delay.
We are not stupid!
This is the statement of a coward. Off Course he will distance himself because that is what cowards do. Roosevelt has continued to hide his insecurity in the office of PM. Use the police to intimidate folks while he abuse state resources, use crooked men in position to abuse parliamentary procedures. It is the same snake who went behind Pierre charles back meet with a foreign government. I am not feeling bad for loreen for she to has been a self serving clown. Now the pappy show in chief realize the gravity of the decision he runs like the coward he has always been. By his abuse has brought the CBI into disrepute. A lazy government with no long term vision except to manipulate election victory to continue plundering the state and manipulating the party loyalist. Removal of this clown from office is the only saving grace for Dominica and we must guard against such individuals no matter what party. This is not about labourites or workers or freedomites but the character of leadership.
Lin clown
March 16, 2022
I agree with Zulu.What is UWP trying to do to Dominicans re the CBI is worst than what Bashar is doing in Syria.Bashar is fighting for survival.Putin is fighting for security.UWP is fighting for the destruction of it’s own country Dominica.UWP should take a back seat.A party bent on destroying and seeing it’s own country is worse than Putin and Bashar.Dominicans made UWP pay for destroying agriculture,they will pay for destroying the CBI.This piece of BS from UWP is nothing more than to destroy the CBI,and they are saying it in public.
YES SAH! An indictment from blind followers!
Yours truly likes to make friends with dictators in other countries to get pointers on how to become one himself, he is a baby Trump he admires authoritarians. Has he said anything negative about Russia and what they are doing in Ukraine? No, he backs Russia because he wants to sell them Dominican passports. Soon Dominica will be flooding with Russians at the PM HQ in Roseau to get their Dominica passport from yours truly with CASH in hand.
Another confirmation of the calibre of person that Dominica has at its helm. It will get worse as the onion peels deeper and deeper.
Dominicans if you’re not embarrassed now and call for him to stop lying to the nation then you certainly deserve this parody of a man. #soembarrassing
..and to the embassador..tsk tsk tsk, y’all have no souls.
You expect me to believe datttt?????
Is this deja Vu Skerrit????
Didn’t you go to Barbados to meet Chinese officials without the knowledge of your PM? Pierro should have asked for your resignation!!!!
Nobody believe that Loreen would take such action without your knowledge….. knowing the consequences!
And don’t even put de opposition in your foolishness……do you now feel de embarrassment that you forced on your leader Pierre Charles????
When you make your bed…… you have to sleep in it too fool!!!!
And finally…… when one sells his soul…HE leads HIMSELF into SEL DESTRUCTION!!!!
You can stay moo moo on de CBI issues…..go hde and look for someone to carry de blame for you. Your entire cabinet is now compromised!
And de opposition didn’t do anything to you!!!!
You run tings …… remember????
Dem diasporans couldn’t believe that their government could do such an act.
I bet dat de pressure came from outside!
Don’t believe that crap from the double doctorate dude. Skerritt just threw Loreen under the bus when he realized the unpopularity of his decision to establish relations with Syria. It was easy to denounce the ambassador whose only claim to fame was to boast of having established diplomatic relations with around one hundred countries? I’m refusing to believe that the ambassador went ahead and did that on her own having worked with the squad over all those years and knowing how tightly Skerritt controls his one man cabal. Skerritt is a liar and his pants caught fire.
“You expect me to believe dat” King liar “you hear lies”; since when does anyone in this country do anything without the consent and blessing of the chief bottle washer. The two biggest liars and schemers in Dominica Tony and Roosevelt came together cocked up a story and sold it to their DLP supporters line; hook and sinker; and please don’t blame UWP for that one. Simeon, we always know who spreading lies; I hope in your next (without substance) talk show your theme song will be “Kamar” by d Bobb. “So way d moomoo Loreen she not talking.”
So you all gojn to sit here and figure out if skerite knew or not ..unbelievable..man how can an embassador sign deplotic relation without the head of state knowing????????? That is absolute bull crap!!! Man this skerite guy should resign with immediate effect! Man look at gow these people have placed our country..can u see what these bunch of hyenas have done to our once beautiful country??? These people need to be removed from office.. what are you Dominicans doin bout that especially young people ? Where is the bloody opposition? Now is the time to launch a 21 constituency campaign to bring light to the people as to why they should remove skerite in office and vote you all? We cannot allow these hungry hyenas and these rougues to take our country to hell .. look at how they blacklist dominica..taking all our money and saving all over..CBI destroyed..what again all u waiting for ????
I would have loved to hear him answer at a press conference on this topic. Let me see how suorised he is. Such a topic does not require an audio clip, but a live i person conference. Someone sat and wrote this speech and he cannot Even articulate the words infront of him .
Judging by what PM Skerrit said in his statement I think he may have put Ms Loren Bannis Robert in serous trouble with the US. Ms Loren Robert is either a US Citizen who resides in the USVI. Look we are now in the middle of a war with Russia and Syria has joined Russia in the was and Ms Robert knows that. Now you signed agreement with our enemy and Skerrit is on record saying he and his administration didn’t know about it? If that’s the case that’s considered treasonous against the US and Ms Loren Bannis Robert should know she will be asked to testify so we could all know if she is on the side of the US or Terrorist Syria. I hope Me Rijock gives more illegal insight into this very serious matter
I have never heard of any instance where a UN ambassador can establish diplomatic relations with another country. These things are done at a high level and Cabinet must approve of such undertakings.
Why would Syria establish diplomatic relations with another country without prior approval of Cabinet.
I do not believe a word Skerrit said.
Boy, Dominica is always the first in every, and anything you know!
I hope no one believes this story because this will surely not say much about us. Does the prime minister expect us to believe that the ambassador unilaterally went and established diplomatic relations with a state. I believe the week os silence was used to come up with an excuse Mrs. Roberts became the sacrificial lamb. Look how she will be handsomely rewarded. Don’t know what it is going to take to get Dominicans to rise up and change the government
A true man never blames his wife or his female colleague for his misdeeds, indiscretions nor his sins. Skerrit deserves all the blame and attention. He declared to all and sundry that ” I run things” (in Dominica).
The man is nothing more than a sissy. He uses the armed forces to make him look strong. The weakling cannot even stand the scrutny of the media. He has thrown Mrs Bannis-Roberts into the river to be eaten by piranhas.
Imagine Roosevelt bringing the Butcher of Damascus to whine and dine in Dominica. What a spectacle that will be!
Amazing that it tookas long as two hours to fire her.
She was not fired, she was allowed to resign, big difference.
She was only ever interested in what she could get out of the position and had zero interest in nor understanding of geopolitics. My guess is that she was clueless about Syria and probably couldn’t be bothered to put any effort into learning about and understanding the knowledge needed for the role. This episode perfectly sums up the ineptitude of those in power.
In a real country not only Loren Bannis would resign but, Skerrit’s President Charles Saverin would resign, Skerrit’s Police Commissioner Daniel Carbon would resign, every single God fearing and good conscience minister of government would resign. Then this weekend there would be massive protests all over the country to force the greedy, shameless and lying Roosevelt Skerrit to resign and if he doesn’t then we would fire him! But PM Roosevelt Skerrit himself once told us that Dominica is not a Real country
Ok, so Skerro established relations with China without Pierre knowing but now greedy Lauren do it with Syria and she is fired by him?
. The president should ask Skerro, Darroux and Loreen to resign forthwith. It is now alleged that mucho dinero was given to someone for the signature so I am demanding that if so that money be retrieved and put into the treasury forthwith! Yes, BIG MONEY its alleged! These Domligarths are becoming more brazen and its time for the Boozii Brigade to hit the streets and demand more…..Skerro MUST GO! I hope Loreen realizes that’s the end of her diplomatic and political career. Welcome to the real world madam.
I find it difficult to fathom that Mrs.Bannis took it upon herself to enter into such an agreement on behalf of Dominica without the Prine Minister’s knowledge. The PM has perfected the evocation of Plausible Deniability. Ms. Bannis is the sacrificial lamb, whom I am sure was handsomely compensated for taking one for the team. We will never hear her side of the story, because agsin I am positive she was forced to sign a Nondisclosure Agreement.
You are absolutely spot on. The despot will pay any amount to control the narrative. The truth will be buried under layers of concreted dollars never to be exhumed. How far Dominica has fallen under one man’s insatiable greed for power, riches and absolute domination.
I have tried my best to convince Dominicans that Satan is a liar, there is no truth in him and whenever he opens his mouth he opens it to speak his natural language which is to Lie. But somehow many still don’t believe that Satan is indeed a compulsive liar especially some pastors, priests, evangelists and many church people although they see it in the Bible Jn. 8:44. But people Satan is not only a liar but he is the father of lies! I hope you all know also that Satan is also a murderer, a thief who came to Steal, kill and destroy
Takes one lies to cover another………loreen self tooo greedy smh not de loreen I knew.
Ex-embassador Roberts is the fall girl for this colossal misjudgment. He is reading from a prepared script given to him by one of his speech writers.
I want to repeat this. Mr. Roosevelt Skerrit is supremely unqualified even to manage a successful, tiny, retail shop.
I hope the moronic members of his cabal take heed. Roosevelt ‘Narcisisst ‘ Skerrit only cares about himself, wife and children. When things go wrong he does not stand up and say that the buck stops with me. He throws his weaklings under the bus, prime example, Mrs. Roberts. God has a way of exacting vengeance in his own time. Let’s see how long her thirty pieces of silver for betraying her original party will last. Modern Judas, Joseph Isaac, your day of reconking is imminent.
Back to the congenital, compulsive, diseased LIAR. Your lies are certainly catching up with you. This is just another swollen black-eye to Dominicans bruised and tattered image compliments of your dishonest self.
#notarealcountry
Who run tings in Dominica?
China and Russia with their puppet yours truly the fake PM.
Im sorry but i don’t believe for one miniute that you didnt know about or authorize, her decision to establish relations with Syria. I believe you are just trying to save face due to the backlash. You should be the next one to resign , you dont have the moral authority to lead this country.
I am by no means a fan of this greedy woman but I also know that Skerrit is lying to us again. ACS, I agree with you 100% that Skerrit should resign. No only because of this charade but also because of the Choksi affair, the PetroCaribe affair, the Ross Uni affair and the CBI money missing affair. I could mention at least 10 more affairs. This man is simply not fit to be PM of our once great country.
DNO, what has happened to the video with the double doctorate Skerrit elucidating the reasons for diplomatic ties between Syria and Dominica, and the benefits to be derived from this newly formed kinship.
Are you being threatened with copyrights infringements? Your outlet should be given full access as his photos, speeches, meetings are often featured and given prominence on your news site.
Skerrit has the right to have diplomatic ties with any country he chooses as Dominica is a sovereign state. However, we must always use discernement before we exercise that right. Every other country in this geopolitics space is treating Syria as a nuclear hot potato. Skerrit hold this outcast leader and nation in warm embrace. Fools rush in where wise men fear to tread.
I’ve often reiterate that Skerrit is not cerebral. He couldn’t be the valedictorian of his class.
ADMIN: The youtube video became unavailable for some reason. We have since updated the article with the full audio.
Run Skerrit Run.
You did the same thing with the Chinese’s during Pierre Charles, but I still believe you Knew that and Ms. Bannis, did not bypass you.
This was a way out to cushion the US and Europeans sanction on Dominica’s CBI, by sourcing new markets for the CBI, but you had the wrong timing, especially in light of Syria’s role in the on going war in Ukraine.
It’s 100% that even their twitter account posted about the signing
https://twitter.com/DominicaCBIU/status/1501471348337561604
All I can say is that miss Roberts is the biggest jack spade in the whole of the Caribbean. One by one the cards are going to fall
How could it be posted on this twitter account but no one knew what UN ambassador was doing? Nothing can hide anymore. The truth will be found out.
Thank you seek for that incontrovertible proof that the habitual LIAR fully well knew. Who else in Dominica could carry out such a monumental decision but Roosevelt ‘Pathological Liar’ Skerrit himself.
What is Syria role?
They just send a donkey to the moon.
To bribe yours truly which will be easy he loves CASH.
I believe the PM that in no way did his government authorize Loreen Bannis to establish diplomatic relations with Syria. I am very happy that she has been removed from her position and that the Government of Dominica will act accordingly to revoke any agreement that was signed between the two countries. What it goes to show is that Loreen Bannis has very little knowledge on World Affairs and does not keep abreast with what is transpiring around the world. I certainly hope that she will take this opportunity at this opportune time to broaden her horizon, become more rounded and more knowledgeable on World Affairs and stay one street ahead on World news. We wish Lorren Bannis all the best in her future endeavours and thank her for her work in her capacity. We should never turn a blind eye to the atrocities and suffering that that great dictator of Syria has sought and brandished on his own people.
Seriously…..you only now realize that Loreen Bannis had no business being Dominica’s representative at the UN or anywhere for that matter? She does not have the qualifications or experience for the position.
And it is unimaginable that she would execute such an agreement without the knowledge and approval of the Prime Minister. If that’s the case, then we have really gone rogue!!!!!
This audio from the PM has left me with questions:
(1) Where did this signing ceremony held?
(2) Where are the copies of the documents signed? Did the ambassador keep them in her personal work file, without informing the government and people of Dominica?
(3) Can be copies of the documents be released and made available so that the people of Dominica would be fully aware of the details of
this signing.
(4) According to the PM, the ambassador had “a lapse of Judgment,” and this has been “dealt with in a manner universally followed and accepted.” How can UN ambassador, who has been in this position for quite a few years now, have such a lapse of judgement and sign diplomatic relations with another country without discussion, communication, and going through proper channels with the relevant minister and ministry and also the PM?
The manner in which this is being handled in NOT universally followed and accepted as stated by the PM, she should be fired, rather than allowed…
DS you also still believe in Father Christmas then. You say that Ambassador Bannister Roberts has very little knowledge of world affairs but it was Roosevelt Skerrit himself who appointed her to that post. Are you telling us the man is stupid and does not know what he was doing. Your reasoning is pathetic. Nothing happens in Dominica without Skerrit’s say so, trust me. Now he has thrown Bannis Roberts under the bus an probably retired her with a good pension and a non-closure agreement to stop her from talking.
You bet I still believe in Father Christmas, that is why I get all these gifts every year at Christmas time. How about you? If you get them too, then, you believe in Father Christmas also. We all learn by our mistakes, brother. No big deal. Life is about trials and failures. If a man learns by his failures, so will he learn by his successes also. How about that, totog. What are you to-toging away?
@ds
I have a tree to sell that was gifted to me from Skerrit. It bears thousands of only new $100 notes every second. I want to sell you for $50k.
Make sure it is green notes. I have no use for brown notes anymore. I purchase only expensive stuff for a man with good taste. I want a tree that is full of Christmas ornaments only.
Somebody that supports Skerrit and his Cabal CAN’T have good taste.
@ds, you forget that Skerritt himself is on video talking about the benefits to be realized with diplomatic relations between Dominca and Syria?. Now you want to throw my cousin under the bus again. It’s people like you who will spare no one for the defense of your idol Skerritt. Check the facts and the video and wheel and come again
There are no benefits to be derived from someone who is the embodiment of all evil. Assad reminds me of the UWP cabal and apparatus. That is why the Labor Party was left back in 2000 to inherit an empty treasury. This what the UWP bequeathed to the new Government of Dominica upon leaving office. Can you imagine your parents bequeathed you all their debts after they have passed away?
ds; most of the time we play politics, the purpose in a campaign is to defeat our opponent at the poles.
When we succeed in doing that, regardless to which party we support we should play the watch and see. If and when the government in power does something good for the people and country, we need to give them recognition for something good.
Nevertheless, when we find corruption in Government, thievery such as we have in Dominica right now, all of us are responsible to speaking out against the thievery and corruption.
How can Asad remind you of UWP, when UWP never used chemical weapons on our people as Asad did on people in Syria, supported by Putin of Russia?
ds, once again I suggest you come to your senses, open your eyes, to discover the damage that Roosevelt Skerrit has done to Dominica over his tenure thus far.
Getting a handout, and basing Dominica’s economy on a sale of passports is not a good thing, okay!
People born in Dominica, reach maturity state, and…
