Subject: Urgent call to Caricom and the Caribbean region to intervene, object and prevent armed-conflict in the
Caribbean

Excellency,

We herewith would like to bring your attention to a urgent situation emerging in the Caribbean. The peoples of our islands, Bonaire, Curacao and Aruba are worried and fearing that the Netherlands is using our ABC islands to start provocation that can lead to a armed conflict or war in the Caribbean and South America region. Last week many of heavy war machinery and vehicles were offloaded in the Curacao port.

As the Caricom and the Caribbean region is pursuing a Caribbean integration and unity and has maintained itself of one the only region in the world free of war and conflicts. The Caribbean nations major economy and lively­ hood depends on tourism, the presence of the Dutch with a re-born aggressive re-colonization agenda launched on October 10, 2010 with the dissolution of the Netherlands-Antilles and annexation and re-colonization of the smaller in-defensive smaller islands of Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius could lead to a mayor Caribbean crisis and Apartheid states.

The new elected Dutch government in March 2017, appointed Mr. Knops as States-Secretary of Kingdom Relations. Mr Knops which is a experienced ex-military lieutenant colonel who was active in the Iraq-war, with warfare-credentials and seemingly for his military experience to carry out the Dutch agenda in the Caribbean(see attached source #1). February this year, through an undemocratic decision by the Dutch parliament, Mr Knops headed this abusive undemocratic action, landed with 40 policemen and a navy vessel in the harbor of Sint Eustatius on standby, and overthrew the local legitimate democratic elected local government and appointed an non-democratic ruler and governor to govern the island of Sint Eustatius.

Last week, on June 5th, the Dutch parliament decided on a motion and instructed the Minister of Defence Mrs. Bijleveld to consult and seek support with France, Great-Britain and the USA (see attached source#2), which also have interests in the Caribbean, to build up a "robust defense" and start militarization of the ABC islands. There are already heavy military equipment's arriving in Curacao and military exercises experienced by the population as not normal are being conducted and our peoples on the islands are fearing or being dragged into a possible mayor armed conflict or war between the world powers.

The Netherlands campaigned actively to covet a seat in the United Nations Security Council in 2016, for the period of 2017 and 2018, but due to a contended vote, with the possibility to loose to Italy decided to strike a deal with Italy and to share the seat and was appointed this year and is currently an UN Security Council member.

In April2018, Bonaire and Sint Eustatius delegation visited the Caricom Secretariat Head-office in Guyana where we met with Ambassador Colin Granderson, Assistant Secretary-General, where we denounce the Netherlands of continuation of Colonialism in the Caribbean by annexation through embedding of the islands of Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius in the Dutch constitution in October 2017 under unequal rights and against the wishes ofthe Bonaire and Sint Eustatius peoples who rejected the imposed status in their 2014 and 2015 referenda. Ambassador Granderson pledged to make a report of our visit and to distribute it along with our White Paper and Green Paper to all Caricom members.

Our cases and present undemocratic situations of our islands has been brought forward to Caribbean nations during our Bonaire and Sint Eustatius visit to United Nations Headquarters in New York; 2016 visit: UN Ambassadors of Antigua and Barbuda, Cuba, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Venezuela and yours truly Mr Finies, spoke and denounced our situation in the June - International Week of Solidarity with the Peoples of UN-NSGT;
2017 visit: UN Ambassadors of Dominica, Saint Kitts & Nevis, Saint Lucia and other UN C24 member nations; in 2018 we had audiences in Guyana and Grenada with the Minister ofForeign Affairs, in Suriname with the Surinam-Government and spoke to the Honourable Ambassador Mr LaRocque , Secretary-General of Caricom at the Caricom-Cofcor conference in Nassau, Bahamas.

A historical note is that October 10 (2010) where our peoples were sent back under Dutch colonial rule, ironically, is Columbus Day, commemoration, discovery and colonization of the American continent.
Is all of this coincidence or are we facing another era of re-colonization of the Americas in the making and
henceforth urges the Caricom and Caribbean nations, through the upcoming Caricom Heads of States Summit in July in Jamaica, to discussion and urgent action, to avoid further provocation and escalation of this unwanted situation and crisis in our peaceful Caribbean.
