It was this close. Four seconds separated first and second positions in the CARICOM 10K race on Sunday 28 June 2015 in Barbados. Defending Champion Cleveland Forde of Guyana retained his title in 33 minutes 11 seconds, but had to ward off a strong challenge from Kirk Browne of Jamaica who crossed the finish line in 33 minutes 15 seconds. Third place finisher Pamenos Ballantyne of St. Vincent and the Grenadines was only a further four seconds behind, clocking 33 minutes 19 seconds.

'Viva Fidel! A true friend of the Caribbean Community: CARICOM Chairman

STATEMENT BY CHAIRMAN OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY, PRIME MINISTER HON. ROOSEVELT SKERRIT OF DOMINICA,  ON THE DEATH OF FIDEL CASTRO

The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is deeply saddened by the death of His Excellency Fidel Castro Ruz, the former President of Cuba.

During his more than 40 years at the helm of the Cuban Revolution, President Castro transformed his country through impressive achievements in health, education, sports, culture, science and other areas of human and social development. His commitment to social justice and dignity for all people earned him global recognition and a stature as one of the influential world leaders of his time. 

He generously shared his country’s expertise with other developing countries and CARICOM Member States have benefited significantly and continue to do so from Cuba’s contribution to their development. In recognition of his role in that regard, the CARICOM Heads of Government bestowed an honorary Order of the Caribbean Community on President Castro, the only such honour granted to a non-CARICOM citizen.

The Caribbean Community joins in solidarity with the Government and people of Cuba and mourns with them the passing of this truly great and iconic figure whose name symbolized a revolution. Viva Fidel! A true friend of the Caribbean Community.'

Caribbean nation need more togetherness we are citizen of Caribbean nation finding it hard to survive under other Caribbean country or island who think they are... better than one another we are holders of one Caribbean travel bocument and when ever we travel we facing up so much harassment in same caricom country or island through immigration. So what is caricom and what is the use of caricom is it just a name by where leaders come together and just bla bla them mouth and eat and drink and be merry and call it caricom meetings leaders have to be serious and bind them self together and bring a better Caribbean nation like the EU nation and bring forth better ties within the Caribbean nation.
Why the Caribbean don't become one head and body so that we all can use one Caribbean dollars?
Why Caribbean people have one Caribbean passport and cannot travel freely without any immigration hassel?
Why Caribbean people cannot work in another caricom country without a work permit?
When this so long CCJ will complete so Caribbean people can hear they case herd instead of still looking up to the previlcouncle?
How much more years to come when people will see the true meaning of caricom instead of having a name with no proper grounds as what we are as caricom?.

On the passing of Fidel Castro, President David Granger said, "We extend our sympathy to his family, particularly his brother, who is now the President of Cuba ...and also to the entire Cuban people. He certainly transformed politics in the Western Hemisphere and we would like to express our solidarity with the Cuban people in that regard."

GIS - Government Information Service of Grenada

INFORMATION SERVICE PRESS RELEASE: The people and government of Grenada mourn today with the people and government of Cuba on the passing of their great revolut...ionary leader Fidel Castro Ruiz.

Through our embassy in Havana, we have extended to President Raul Castro and his government our deepest sympathies.

We have also been in touch with the Cuban Ambassador in St George’s in this moment of profound grief.

But we can now all march forward on this path of development, appreciating that Fidel Castro will remain a towering figure not only in the history of Cuba, but in our region.

He has consistently been a friend of the Grenadian people, and under his leadership, Cuba has selflessly helped trained thousands of our current professionals, particularly in the field of medicine.

Through the generous assistance of Cuba, ordinary boys and girls from working class families across Grenada, were afforded a better chance in life.

Under Fidel Castro, Cuba made international assistance and solidarity the core of its political DNA.

Inspite of his own challenges at home, and in the face of untold hostility, Castro found the political will to help Grenada build its current international airport, confirming Fidel as a great god-father of modern day Grenadian development.

I have had the opportunity to meet with President Fidel Castro many times; and we were honored to have officially hosted him here in St Georges in 1998.

We were always amazed by his sense of patriotic duty to the cause of development in the third world and his understanding of the struggles and plight of his neighbors.

His contribution of blood, sweat and tears to the liberation struggles in Africa must go down as one of the greatest chapters in human solidarity of the last 100 years.

In Fidel Castro, Grenada had a long-lasting and permanent friend. But we now can rest assured that his legacy will endure, and his contribution to making this world a better place will always be remembered.

History has indeed absolved him.
