The United States has named four Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries among several Latin America and Caribbean major drug transit and or major illicit drug producing countries.

President Barack Obama named Belize, Jamaica, Haiti and the Bahamas as the CARICOM countries.

A White House statement said that a country’s presence on the list is not a reflection of its government’s counternarcotics efforts or level of cooperation with the United States.

But it said that the reason major drug transit or illicit drug producing countries are placed on the list is the combination of geographic, commercial, and economic factors that allow drugs to transit or be produced, even if a government has carried out the most assiduous narcotics control law enforcement measures.

The other countries listed in the White House statement are Afghanistan, Bolivia, Burma, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Laos, Mexico, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela.

Washington said that the list highlights significant U.S. domestic drug control issues and foreign assistance approaches to drug control.

It also examines policies and programs shared by most countries to counter the destabilizing effects of illegal drugs and transnational organized crime.

“The combined aim of these undertakings is to foster sustainable citizen security to advance social welfare, safety, and economic prosperity of vulnerable communities around the world,” the White House said, adding that international cooperation remains the cornerstone for reducing the threat posed by the illegal narcotics trade and related crimes carried out by criminal organizations.

Comment by Tami on September 20, 2014 at 3:34am: I know it was a lot lol. I'm just knew to this and still don't know the correct name of the Most High. Some say Yehweh and some say Ahayah. Which do you say?

Comment by rastafari on September 20, 2014 at 2:39am: ...bro u r a jigsaw puzzle!!! But if I may, for example, refer u to GENESIS 49V8; JOHN 4V22; ROMANS 11V1 ; REV 2V9 and 3V9, for further research into the true identity of the much heralded Twelve Tribes of Israel, of which I am a Nazarite priest servant, of the tribe of LEVI, as JAH is of the tribe of JUDAH, being the Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the fourth born son of Jacob, which corresponds to the "lion sign" of the so called Horoscope or Zodiac...

Comment by Tami on September 19, 2014 at 7:38pm: There go 4 of the 12 Tribes of Isreal. These are the last days yall. They are being blasphemous about the Children of Isreal. Straight lying on them to justify trying to crush The Most High's chosen people, the Hebrew Isrealite. Most Black people in America are from the tribe of Judah (the tribe the Messiah came from). THEY Killing our tribe all out in the street and holding themselves innocent. The Messiah is coming soon yall, they are attacking the tribes all at once and hard all because most of us don't know we are the biblical Isrealites, the chosen people that delivered the brought forth the Christ. Please "black people" know that you are not African. We were driven into Africa from Jerusalem and then sold by Africans to Caucasians because we are Hebrew Jews from the tribe of Judah NOT AFRICAN. Ask yourself, why would a people with all the money in the world be so hateful and jealous of a people who've been enslaved by EVERYONE and barley have a nickel to loan??? It's because we're the chosen people and they know it. We are Jews and they are gentiles and they know when the Messiah returns, Christ will show them no mercy for their treatment of us. Please get on the net, Google black hebrew Jews or black Isrealites, find your tribe and let's get to work waking up all the 12 tribes of Isreal who still don't know who they are. They been trying to keep us in the dark for centuries making us believe we are the least when they know in the eyes of the Most High we are higher than all the nation's on earth. Research it please, we need to wake up quickly.
