Dominica: Roosevelt Skerrit, Prime Minister of the Caribbean island, the Commonwealth of Dominica, denounces the disgraceful attacks by the mob of blind followers in the U.S. Capitol.
Recent acts of violence on the Capitol Building in the United States were an open assault on long-established democratic norms, which has a strong tradition in our region. We look forward to a peaceful transfer of power in the United States on January 20, 2021.

We must not let what happened in the U.S. happen here from a group of minority trouble makers. Our law enforcement must be stern and decisive in the application and execution of our laws against insurrection and anarchy.”
