YesRSS and OECS does a lot with climate/natural disaster relief. Dominica and St. Vincent are members. they are more integrated than the rest of the Caribbean.
there's a lot of politics, historic, cultural, and logistical reasons on why more integration is very far away in the Caribbean.
Absolutely no one in the Caribbean wants Haitians to have free movement to their countries. or Cuban/Dominican migration either.
I support regional integration but there's many practical hurdles that people outside the region generally aren't aware of.
This is a step in the right direction.
Forward thinking, proactive leaders are needed now more than ever in the Caribbean, the rest of the diaspora, and on the continent. Making practical decisions and agreements.
If Haiti had any kind of leadership the past 3 decades, we would be positioned to fill in the looming worker shortagr gaps across the Caribbean. But, corruption and incompetence by successive administrations have fukked that up. And it directly lead to the chaos that exists right now.
When Caricom countries backed the international plan to send troops and stabilize Haiti, some misguided dudes were repeating nonsense about them being "puppets to imperialism". Not realizing that a stable Haiti benefits the entire region, and prevents a migrant crisis to their countries.
*Also not following the fact that Caricom has been trying to negotiate compromises between the different political factions since Moise was killed. And the different sides wouldnt budge, even in crisis situation.
The vagabon element of Haitians have showed their ass in Turks and Caicos recently, with an unprecedented violence and homicide flareup, and will eventually lead to us being booted out of there.
