"Mr McAlpine said the FNM today is unrecognisable and seems to have a United Bahamian Party “spirit”. As that political party ran the Country for less than ten years, over five decades ago, Mr. McApline must have deep-seated reasons for making such a remark.......
Hilariously sickening, the whole thing. We have two nations of gangsters working together, been going on for decades. Successive Bahamas governments either have members at the top involved or they wear proverbial blinders. The only other excuse for these goings on to continue unfettered would be laziness or stupidity, possibly both.
"Complicating the problem is the fact that 87 percent of the Princess Margaret Hospital’s children’s wards have been closed since Hurricane Matthew in 2016 — forcing patients to wait in the accident and emergency department for days for a bed in its only operational paediatric ward." and yet Cabinet and their chosen hangers-on continue their globe-trotting and wastage of Public funds at not only an unabated, but at an alarmingly increasing rate, with no regard for the electorate. The parents of the children with no hospital beds should DEMAND these spendthrifts produce an accounting of their expenses with one week of their occurrence.
Good article though, right on point, but any international aid must be given with a view to helping the people of Haiti help themselves and not with international ulterior motives, as has largely been the case to date. Can the needed altruistic help be found? The Bahamas could and should play a leading roll but must tread very carefully....

The U.S. does not usually FIX failed states and the N.Y. based UN is their puppet.
