BARBADOS' STATEMENT ON EMERGING CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST

The Government and people of Barbados are deeply concerned by the escalation of hostilities in the Middle East.   Barbados is concerned that military action affecting a number of other countries in the region has the potential to undermine international peace and security.

We join the United Nations Secretary General António Guterres in condemning the military escalation in the Region and call on all Member States to respect their commitments under international law. Barbados joins the Gulf Cooperation Council Member States and other affected countries in the region in calling for restraint and a return to dialogue and diplomatic solutions.

We regret the loss of innocent lives in this emerging conflict. The Government and people of Barbados take this opportunity to express their deepest sympathy to the loved ones of those affected by these attacks and pray that peace and stability will return to the region quickly.

Consular Advice to all Barbadians visiting or residing in the affected areas

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of Barbados recommends that Barbadians delay any travel to the affected areas until conditions return to normal. Those currently in the region should stay alert and shelter in place.

Additionally, we urge all Barbadians in the region who may not have already registered with, or notified our official authorities of their presence there, please to do so immediately.

For assistance, please contact the Embassy of Barbados in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates at Villa #1, At Tarish Street, Al Mamoura. Email: [email protected]; Tel: +97125572799.

Rededication of Memorial Plaque at Lackagh Graveyard Marks 370th Anniversary of Forced Irish Transportation to Barbados - Wednesday, 11 June; Lackagh, Co. Kildare

A poignant mass was held in Lackagh, Co. Kildare to commemorate the forced transportation of Irish people from the town to Barbados in 1655 during Oliver Cromwell’s harrowing regime. The event took place in Lackagh Graveyard, the very town from which local men and women were seized and exiled to the Caribbean.

The mass was followed by the rededication ceremony of a memorial plaque, originally unveiled in the Lackagh Graveyard on Sunday, 4 October 1959.

The Mass of Remembrance was delivered by the Most Reverend Denis McNulty, Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin, and included special remarks by H.E. Cleviston Haynes, Ambassador of Barbados to Ireland.

The plaque honours those from Lackagh who were forcibly removed from their familiar surroundings and sent to endure gruelling conditions in a country to which they had no connections. These individuals were among thousands of Irish citizens, many of them Catholics and prisoners, subjected to indentured servitude on Barbadian plantations alongside thousands of African slaves.

Attendees included representatives from the Embassy of Barbados, Diocesan leaders, school children, members of the Barbadian diaspora, and local community members - all gathered in a spirit of remembrance, to reflect on this dark chapter of Irish history.

The rededication of this plaque not only serves as a moment of commemoration, but as a powerful reminder of the deep interconnectedness of Barbadian and Irish history. It also honours the resilience of those who suffered under colonial rule. In remembering the Irish, we acknowledge the enduring ties shaped by hardship and a struggle for dignity.
