Sir, Colombia is no different from Morocco in this aspect, I mean, you and the Island ambassador need to FREE these Black folks from Colombia's domination and discrimination, I swear. See, you have a Western Papua issue right in the middle of the Caribbean Islands, sir. LOL, now, does Brotha Westtt even heard of St Andrés and Providence Islands? LOL, maybe not.
Now let me school your fake Island ambassador about the St Andrés, providencia and Santa Catalina Islands self determination.
In 1903, the local Raizal population of the Providencia and Santa Catalina Islands rejected an offer from the United States to separate from Colombia and to imitate Panama.
Towards the late 1960s, separatist movements became active in the archipelago. The first separatists, an underground movement, were led by Marcos Archbold Britton, who addressed a memorandum to the United Nations asking for the inclusion of the archipelago in the list of colonized territories. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees paid a private visit to the archipelago shortly afterwards, arousing suspicion in mainland Colombia.
The second movement, which started in the late 1970s, grew stronger in the following decade, and culminated in the creation in March 1984 of the Sons of the Soil Movement (S.O.S.), openly claiming the right to self-determination.
Since 1999, another organization, the Archipelago Movement for Ethnic Native Self-Determination for the Archipelago of San Andrés, Providence and Santa Catalina, a radical separatist movement led by Rev. Raymond Howard Britton, has demanded the creation of an independent state.
There are now, according to a document from the Colombian government, two trends among the Raizals: a radical one, the Pueblo Indígena Raizal, represented by the Indigenous Native Organizations, among whom Amen, Barraca New Face, Infaunas (a Rastafarian-inspired group of farmers and fishermen), Ketna (Ketlënan National Association) and the SOS Foundation, and a more moderate one, Comunidad Raizal (Native Foundation and Integración Básica) led by former governors who are friends of the Colombian establishment, mainly Felix Palacios, Carlos Archbold and Alvaro Archbold N. The latter group is understandably more ready to participate in bipartite institutions set up by the Colombian authorities.
On April 28, 2002, the Raizal people signed a declaration of self-determination and asked the Colombian government and the International Court of Justice for a major recognition of their autonomy and for appropriate resources to improve the quality of life in the island.
FYI, I was watching a documentary today on these 3 Black Caribbean Islands who are still colonized by Colombia and guess what?? At the migration border of St Andrés Island those Black Authorities refused to even let an Afro-Colombian tourist into their territories. Even a Black Colombian from the mainland was refused entry to their 3 Islands because he's Spanish and have a different culture, hahahaha, its soo serious.
Anyway, Mr Island ambassador should get fired and shot at for not letting this story out. lol
