One Caribbean Nation.
Mr. Michael Holding



The Mahogany Coconut Group, is proud to announce , Mr.  Michael Holding, legendary West Indies fast bowler, as our Caribbean personality of 2021. Mr. Holding, has emerged as a defender of the truth and has globally, exposed racism in the cricketing world. 
His critically acclaimed book: Why We Kneel How We Rise( 2021), should be read by all Caribbean citizens,  who have perhaps, buried our heads in the sand regarding sports both on and off the field .We are therefore in great debt to Mr. Holding, for demonstrating that reaching great heights in ones chosen field , does not automatically guarantee immunity from the societal ills , that confront those who are considered ordinary citizens. 
Racism, poverty, hunger and all other maladies, affect us all. Mr. Holding remains a credit to our New Caribbean Nation State and  his success and vision both on and off the field, will never be forgotten.

The Killing of Dr. Rodney

The killing of Dr Rodney By Rickey Singh NOW that Carnival 2014 is over, perhaps the people of Trinidad and Tobago could spare some time to reflect on developments in other Caricom states. One such country is Guyana. An issue currently in sharp focus in Guyana is a probe into the killing, decades ago, of the internationally famous historian and crusader for freedom and social justice Walter Rodney. Thirty-three years after this intellectual and writer was killed in a bomb blast in his car on the night of June 13, 1980, in Georgetown, a three-member team of Caribbean legal experts has been established to begin an enquiry into the circumstances surrounding the killing of Dr Rodney.  “Assassination” has always been the unofficial verdict of the Working People’s Alliance (WPA), the party of which Dr Rodney was a founder-leader, as well as from thousands of its supporters across Guyana. They continue to blame the administration of late president Forbes Burnham for the murder.

Respect Hatians' Rights

                                                          The Caribbean Is One Nation. President Danilo Medina We call on the Government of the Dominican Republic to repeal the nefarious rulings of the DR constitutional court and return the dignity to those Haitians born of Hatian descent in the Dominican Republic, by restoring their rights to be citizens.    We further make it public that we will oppose the Dominican Republic becoming a member of CARICOM  unless this blot is removed from its affairs. The Haitian people seem to have been identified, as the one people in our region, who must suffer indignity after indignity; be it political, natural or man made.  Haiti has been treated, not as the most progressive post slave society in our region but as an unwanted step child by the entire region. Yet in the face of betrayal and ruthless internal and external political machinations, the Haitian people, whenever given the opportunity demonstrate an inherent resolve, not so rea

Gays and Scouts

The Mahogany Coconut Group stands firmly in support of Mr. Darcy Dear, of the United Gays and Lesbians Association of Barbados (UGLAB), in relation to the recent statements of Dr.Nigel Taylor, Chief Commissioner of the Barbados Boy Scouts’ Association. Dr.Taylor stated that the Boy Scouts’ Association of Barbados has a “closed door policy” in granting membership to openly gay men. The historical purpose and contribution of the boy scouts movement needs no repetition here. We cannot understand,  why at this time, the leaders of the movement in Barbados would want to make the inclusion of openly gay members an issue.  We do not believe that the charter of the movement was concerned with the sexual orientation of its members but more so with the good deeds they render to their fellow citizens. This alarming witch hunt needs to be strongly protested. Discrimination of all forms is to be forcibly opposed by all freedom loving citizens. There can be no compromise on this position. We
