“Operation Phoenix: Caribbean Rising”

A Commentary by Ervin Welsh

I struggle to think of a time I felt more powerless than these last few weeks. My Caribbean Family had the luxuries, comforts and basic necessities of human life ripped from beneath them by hands they had no chance of fending off. Irma and Maria — among two of the most devastating hurricanes to barrel across the Atlantic Basin — left lives completely changed, lay bare the fragility of our pampered reality and thrust into eternal retirement, tens of us. My tiny twin-island federation of St. Kitts and Nevis was spared the wrath of these deadly storms but the few damages we sustained was, in other islands, the little that stood firm among the now completely ruined.

STATEMENT BY LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION THE RIGHT HONOURABLE DR. DENZIL LLEWELLYN DOUGLAS CONDEMNING PRIME MINISTER DR. TIMOTHY HARRIS FOR DESTROYING THE ST. KITTS AND NEVIS CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT PROGRAMME
