BDF To The Rescue On The Sarstoon
posted (April 30, 2018)
And so you have a little under a year to gather information and make up your mind. But, Wil Maheia and his Territorial Volunteers don't need all that time - their mind is already pretty much set on a "no" vote.

It's a position hardened by many weekends spent being harassed by the Guatemalan Navy on Belize's side of the Sarstoon. And that was expected again this weekend when they took an outing for the Sarstoon Island Annual Concert.

Maheia set out along with brukdong singer Cocono Bwai and Pastor Derek Aikman. They were inevitably shadowed by the Guatemalan navy - but then a most unexpected thing happened. It begins with Cocono Bwai singning his patriotic song:…

MAHEIA says quote, "for the very first time the BDF escorted us around the entire island while being followed by the GAF - in the end they seem to had some friendly exchanges but not sure" END QUOTE.

He adds, quote, "This morning the BTV had a prayer service at the sarstoon island to commemorate the signing of the 1859 treaty."
