Decolonisation & Reparations Push: CARICOM has sent a delegation to Britain urging “decolonisation” as part of slavery reparations, including Britain relinquishing control of overseas territories tied to the Caribbean—explicitly naming Turks and Caicos, Anguilla, Montserrat, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and the British Virgin Islands. Fuel Subsidy Watch: In Montserrat, Premier Reuben Meade says governments should keep fuel subsidies targeted and temporary, warning that short-term relief can strain already tight public finances amid higher oil prices from the US-Iran conflict. Regional Air Connectivity: Antigua and Barbuda PM Gaston Browne renewed calls for an OECS airline, pointing to persistent delays and cancellations that strand travellers across the region, including frustrations tied to attending CARICOM meetings. Public Health Preparedness: CARPHA inaugurated the CARPHA Regional Emergency Operations Centre to strengthen Caribbean disaster and outbreak coordination, funded through EU support. Small-Island Health Exchange: Montserrat’s CMO and a parliamentary secretary visited St. Helena to share approaches for resilient, integrated healthcare in small, remote, aid-dependent systems. ECCB Milestone: The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank marked 50 years of the EC dollar’s fixed exchange rate, with leaders stressing stability as a base for “shared prosperity.”
