PHILIPSBURG:--- On this special day, two words parade across my mind going back and forth. These are Unit and Unify.

Unit means ONE
Unify means make or become united
In his song, Lino and the Hardway wrote, All I see around me, one island, one people, one destiny. Come together, work together as one. Lino must have known what unity looked and tasted like to write a song such as this. For it screams of a united heart and mind of the people of North and South St. Martin. A border-free country bonded together in friendship and brotherhood, a unit of shared cultures, united as one.

PHILIPSBURG:--- On behalf of the board of the Unified Resilient Sint Maarten Movement (URSM) and its members, I would like to wish the people of Sint Maarten a Happy Easter.

As we prepare to celebrate Easter with our family and friends, I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the true meaning of the season. Easter marks the beginning of Hope for all who believe, that during the season of Lent we are all reminded of the importance to have mercy.

One of the characteristics I believe a leader of a political movement should have is the ability to reflect on and analyze the current state of affairs of its organization, its members, and its nation.

We cannot move forward if we do not acknowledge our present state Read more

PHILIPSBURG:---Considering the hopelessness and mental exhaustion of the people of this country, and realizing the alarming social cries and poverty in Sint Maarten, I do believe that everyone agrees with me that some action should be taken to put this country back on the rails for more prosperity and economic growth.

I am together with the members of the URSM movement convinced that some kind of Reform and Development should take place in the short term.

Due to unfortunately a lack of initiative and vision from the side of our Parliamentarians and Ministers thus far, the Netherlands as a partner in the Kingdom came to take an initiative in the form of the COHO (Caraibisch Orgaan Hervorming en Ontwikkeling; Caribbean Entity Reform and Development).

To understand the objective of the COHO, how this entity will be established, and how it will function, the law needs to be analyzed carefully.

While it may seem at first glance to be an initiative of a non-political nature, the wording used in the law gives reason to question the non-political nature.

In all countries in development, rising up means building people in mind, body, and soul.

I commend all those who are making dire efforts in concretizing information for publication. On a day like St Read more
