Growing food insecurity
According to the latest Global Report on Food Crises, in 2022, almost 258 million people in 58 countries faced the highest levels of acute food insecurity, which includes the categories of “Crisis”, “Emergency”, and “Catastrophe”, meaning that it can range from malnutrition to the risk of death due to lack of food.
50 years on - and where are we?
Re: 50 Years of Independent Bahamas
Letter to the King on Crown Land
BEFORE London’s Big Ben strikes midnight on Sunday, a letter addressed to King Charles III will be hand delivered to Buckingham Palace expressing the hope that the King will be able to celebrate the Bahamas’ 50th anniversary of independence in this country.
GB wants the govt ‘boot off our neck’
How should Bahamians think about the Prime Minister’s announcement that his government will take out a $200m (or is it $400m?) loan from our former colonial masters to build a new airport for Grand Bahama? Is the Davis administration really the knight in shining armor that will ride in and deliver our poor suffering island from all its woes?
PLP should be ashamed
THE Privy Council’s Citizenship judgement and upholding Appeal’s Court Judgement by now CJ Winder.
Praising our nurses
Before God and those assembled here, I solemnly pledge to adhere to the code of ethics of the nursing profession.
New king can make a difference
King Charles was crowned King of The UK and the Commonwealth of Nations proper today. Salutes and a hardy Hoorah to thee. A new King, and an enabled leader of the UK in fact. Charles has been waiting for this day all his life, and it’s now his time to make a difference, imprint himself upon his nation and the world as a leader both different and unique to the British Monarchy. While Queen Elizabeth was a rock of the status quo Charles has a chance and an obligation to make a profound difference as a leader.
Our judges are following the law

I refer to a letter published May 2 penned by one BA Sweeting in opposition to the proposed development of Viking Court, West Bay Street.
See what ya looking at - it’s critical
Years ago, a good friend and unassuming Bahamian icon/philosopher used to opine “see what ya lookin’ at”! This simple, yet profound, pronouncement could readily find interpretations across a wide spectrum of past and present situations affecting our beloved Bahamaland today. See what ya lookin’ at. It’s critical!
How can we create opportunity?
What areas can The Bahamas look at to create new job opportunities for Bahamians, particularly youth?
Imagine the difference
We have a lot of people who complain.
RCL and PI proposal
As a nature lover, I would like to express my feelings on the current debate over RCL’s development of a Beach Club on the Western end of Paradise Island. First of all, I totally agree with the fears of the various environmentalists. Opinions of expert environmentalists such as Joseph Darville should not be ignored. Who are the members of the Environmental Commission? What are their qualifications?
National symbols
Ministry of National Security correctly, especially with the 50th anniversary, puts out a warning concerning the use of the National Crest and other symbols of the State.
What is true role of UN?
After reading today’s Tribune edition, Monday May 1, 2023 and a story, the top story ‘Nation to answer over human rights,’ and how it suggests that the Government’s position on key issues will be under scrutiny by the UN Council.’
