Nos a pidi Konseho Insular pa kondená e invashon di Rusia den Ukrania públikamente y tambe pa deklará ku Boneiru ta sostené Hulanda den e asuntu aki. Konseho Insular a rechasá nos petishon dor di keda ketu. E palabranan di Martin Luther King ta zona duru:
‘In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends’.
Boso eror por wòrdu amiendá ainda, pero nos lo no molestiá boso mas. Konseho Insular di Boneiru mes mester mira e lus. Si nò, nos tur simplemente lo mester keda den skuridat. Si boso kier komprondé mihó, nos ta sugerí pa boso sigui e aserkamentu di promé minister Mike Eman di Aruba. Pa inspirashon wak e entrevista di Prensa Hulandes ku Eman aki:
En korto, nos no mester semper djis pidi Hulanda pa duna nos mas sèn. Plaka y sosten di Hulanda ta importante. Pero ora Hulanda mester tuma desishonnan duru, nos mester mustra solidaridat. Nos no sa ainda kiko lo pasa ku Venezuela. Pero, si ta surgi problema serio pa nos islanan, e úniko entidat ku nos por stèns riba dje ta e Ehérsito Hulandes. Ta di vital importansia pa nos islanan mustra apresio pa esei.
Ainda tin oportunidat amplio pa hasi esaki.
Mientrastantu, nos ta sugerí tur hende ku ta di akuerdo ku e mensahe básiko di nos serie di Kartanan Habrí na Konseho Insular, pa kuminsá hasi donashon na e siguiente fundashon:
Stichting Samen voor Oekraïne
Scharenburgsestraat 13
6655 KE Puiflijk, Nederland.
Bank Account: NL33 RABO 0190 3595 36
BIC code: RABONL2U
Nos a check ku nan. Nan ta manda solamente produktonan médiko, kuminda y otro artíkulonan práktiko pa Ukrania. Arma nò. Nan mes ta transportá e merkansia pa Ukrania.
Bo por haña nan aki: https://samenvooroekraine.eu/
Niun hende no a tuma kontakto ku nos pa yuda lanta un komishon. P’esei, nos lo sigui riba nos mes. Nos a hasi donashon kaba. Pas pa Ukrania! Y nos ta sostené Hulanda den su polítika general pa ku Ukrania. Ta trata di preservashon di derechonan humano, demokrasia, elekshonnan hustu y liber y un poder hudisial imparsial y independiente. Nos ta konsiente ku e balornan aki tur ta hopi subdesaroyá ainda. Pero loke nos tin, nos no mag pèrdè.
E outokrasia di Rusia mester wòrdu pará.
Nos di Boneiru no por hasi hopi. Pero nos por hasi algu sí.

FIFTH OPEN LETTER TO THE ISLAND COUNCIL FOR PAPIAMENTU TEXT SCROLL DOWN
Kralendijk,- We have asked the Island Council to publicly condemn the Russian invasion in Ukraine and specifically also to declare that Bonaire supports Holland in this matter. The Council has rejected this petition by remaining silent. The words of Martin Luther King ring out loud:
‘In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends’.
Your error can still be amended, but we will not harass you anymore. You, the Council, has to see the light. If not, we will all simply have to remain in the dark. If you should wish to understand better, we suggest you follow our fellow-Aruban Prime Minister Mike Eman’s approach. For inspiration view this interview with Eman by the Dutch press here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFjQ1hnREIU
In short, we should not always only ask Holland to give us more money. The money and support from Holland is important. But when Holland has to make hard decisions, we must show solidarity. We don’t know what will happen with Venezuela. But, if there should be serious trouble for our islands, the only one we can rely on is the Dutch Military. It is of vital importance that our islands show appreciation for that.
There is still ample opportunity to do so.
In the meantime, we suggest everyone who agrees with the basic message of our series of Open Letters to the Island Council to start donating to the following foundation:
Stichting Samen voor Oekraïne
Scharenburgsestraat 13
6655 KE Puiflijk, Nederland.
Bank Account: NL33 RABO 0190 3595 36
BIC code: RABONL2U
We have checked with them. They only send medical products, food and other practical items to Ukraine. No weapons. They themselves transport the goods to Ukraine.
You may find them here: https://samenvooroekraine.eu/
Nobody has contacted us to help set up a committee. Therefore, we will proceed on our own. We have already donated. Peace for Ukraine! And we support Holland in its general policy towards Ukraine. It is about the preservation of human rights, democracy, fair and free elections and an impartial and independent judiciary. We are very aware that these values are all still very underdeveloped. But what we do have, we shouldn’t lose.
Russia’s autocracy must be halted.
We in Bonaire cannot do much. But we can do something.
