A “Zone of Peace”? Or a Zone of Political Camouflage, Dictatorship Thinking, and High-Level Corruption?

 

They stand on podiums, they hold hands, smile for cameras, and speak powerful words like unity, stability, and a “Zone of Peace.”

But let’s cut through the political poetry for a second…

What good is a “Zone of Peace” if corrupt leadership, unchecked authority, and back-door control are quietly tightening their grip behind the mask of regional unity?

What good is peace if it becomes a shield for dictatorship-styled power, centralized control, and a silent allowance for illegal trading networks to operate under the protection of political umbrellas?

Let’s be real. PEOPLE ARE NOT SLEEPING ANYMORE.
Caribbean citizens are more conscious, more educated, more observant than ever before,  and they are rightfully questioning:

• Who benefits most from narratives of political unity?
• Who controls maritime agreements?
• Who gains influence over borders, policing authority, and trade flow?
• And why are the same leaders preaching peace while citizens face economic struggles, rising costs, injustice, and declining trust in governance?

Because peace, without accountability, transparency, and righteous leadership, is not peace, it is a cover.
A beautiful curtain hides a rotten backstage.

“Peace” Cannot Be Built on Corruption.

The Caribbean is strategically powerful.

Its seas are global trade arteries.

And where there is high-value movement, there is always temptation, financial greed, political compromises, and the dangerous dance between government figures and illicit networks.

History and documented global watchdog reports have repeatedly shown patterns across the region:

• cases of officials turning a blind eye to trafficking

• suspicious maritime activity operating under “protected oversight.”

• political figures benefiting from trade loopholes

• powerful individuals influencing enforcement systems

• Corruption weakens border protections and strengthens criminal networks

So when leaders declare:

“We are building a Caribbean Zone of Peace!”

The people have every right to ask:

Peace for whom?

Peace under what terms?

Peace overseen by leaders who can’t even clean corruption in their own backyard?

Because if corrupt hands are still steering national and regional power structures, then what is being created isn’t peace…

It is a controlled zone.

A monitored zone.

A silenced zone.

A zone where wrongdoings hide under political respectability.

That isn’t peace.

That is corruption at sophisticated, governmental, international, maritime levels, dressed in diplomatic clothing.

If There Is to Be Peace, Then Let There First Be TRUTH

The Caribbean does NOT reject peace.

The Caribbean rejects fake peace.

The Caribbean rejects political camouflage.

The Caribbean rejects narratives of unity built on secrecy, authoritarian governance, and elite protection.

REAL PEACE REQUIRES:

• righteous leadership

• transparency in maritime governance

• accountability in political offices

• protection of citizens, not protection of criminal advantage

• respect for law, justice, and human dignity

• leadership that fears God and honors truth

Anything less than this is not peace.

It is a deception packaged as diplomacy.

The People Are Awake

People now understand that not everything wrapped in “regional unity” is good.

Not everything sold as “cooperation” is righteous.

And not every “peace agreement” is truly for the people.

Because without accountability, without justice, without honesty…

A “Zone of Peace” becomes nothing but a Zone of Hidden Corruption.

And the Caribbean people REFUSE to sit in silence and pretend otherwise.
