On this special day, two words parade across my mind going back and forth. Theseare 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.

Ursm Recommends Coho Be Transformed Into Soho

URSM leader Dr. Luc Mercelina.

PHILIPSBURG--Unified Resilient St. Maarten Movement (URSM) said on Monday that the Caribbean Body for Reform and Development COHO should be transformed into the St. Maarten Entity for Reform and Development SOHO, which it said should be an independent administrative body.

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.
