~ Why are family members so silent even when they are accused of being part of the plan. ~
PHILIPSBURG:--- Guyanese Dutch St. Maarten resident Keoma Hamer have been making headlines in the USA, Guyana, Antigua, and St. Kitts while in St. Maarten, not one politician or department within the government have taken interest in what appears to be international cross border crime that affected a citizen of this island.
One would think that the Prosecutor’s Office or the RST would have contacted Keoma Hamer who went public with her life story on June 12th, 2019 when she made the first Facebook post explaining what happened to her while in transiting in Antigua.
Hamer then made videos that were posted on June 12, 15th 20th 22nd 26th and on July 1st, 2019 giving her followers almost day to day updates since then. Clearly, law enforcement on St. Maarten does not seem to care about this type of human trafficking or kidnapping unless it has to do with a local politician. Another year is coming to an end and while Hamer is screaming for help through her posts not one person within the justice department on St. Maarten reached out to her.
Hamer a well-known resident on St. Maarten has worked with several organizations including the United Nations and with at least one politician, her story about her daughters did not start 2019 when she went public through social media, but it’s a story that was told since 2004 after her babies were stolen. The New Testament Baptist Church where her late mother was a member heard her cries the moment Keoma gave birth and she could not leave St. Maarten to be at her daughter’s bedside.
Reading through the comments since Hamer became public several persons pointed fingers at Hamer’s immediate family members but so far these family members that are well known and connected to St. Maarten politicians remained silent. There is a saying silent is consent, therefore, one could only assume that the comments that are being made against the family members are true unless they are willing to clear their names and come forward with answers to exactly what happened on September 4th, 2004 on the island of Antigua.
Guyanese home and abroad especially those that originated from Mahaicony or Anns Grove on the East Coast are glued to the day to day updates through social media and have all been asking the same questions with no answer’s forthcoming.
The Caribbean, Guyana Institute for Democracy (CDIG) Rickford Burke went public pleading with the Government of Antigua to conduct a non-bias investigation and to solve this crime that has been taking a toll on a mother whose only dreams is to find her stolen daughters.
15 years later and with social media exploding with valuable information and yet law enforcement in Antigua thinks this will go away without being solved. Hopefully, travelers around the world are taking note of what is possible in Antigua and to avoid visiting that island since anyone could become a victim of this magnitude there.
CGIC has also called on the Mayor of New York to intervene and conduct a proper investigation since the alleged perpetrator works in the school system in New York, hopefully, Bill de Blasio takes heed sooner rather than later.
The Minister of Health of Antigua Molwyn Joseph showed some interest when he dispatched a letter to Hamer saying his Ministry launched an investigation, however, that investigation hit a dead end when it was handed over to the Police and the Ministry of Justice in Antigua, again it is the hope that the Police in Antigua will launch an intense and nonbias investigation and bring justice to Keoma Hamer.
