Curaçao is a major transit hub for the smuggling of gold into the United States. In a court case in Miami, the owner of a transport company admitted to smuggling thousands of kilograms of gold through Curaçao.
He did this by forging customs documents, so that the origin of the gold remained hidden. The data showed that the gold had been shipped from the Cayman Islands, but in reality, the gold came from Curaçao.
The traded gold is mined in South America, including nearby Venezuela and Colombia.
According to authorities in the United States, Curaçao is often used as a transshipment point for gold that has been illegally mined in Venezuela and smuggled from there.
At the same time French troops from Martinique trained jointly with Dutch troops and the boat platoon on Curaçao this week. The exercise focused on amphibious operations and military operations in urban areas.
The French platoon is part of the 2nd Company of the 33rd Marine Infantry Regiment (33 RIMa). This French unit is stationed at Fort Desaix on Martinique.
During the training with the boat platoon, the soldiers practiced various amphibious skills. This included training on transferring between vessels traveling at different speeds and landings from the water.
The exercise concluded with a hit and run scenario in which the soldiers had to move in and then quickly withdraw from the area.

In addition, the French soldiers trained together with local trained soldiers from CURMIL at the former Sint Elisabeth Hospital (Sehos) in Willemstad. The focus there was on tactical skills for military operations in built-up and urban areas.
According to Defense, joint training exercises are intended to exchange knowledge and experience and to ensure that military units from different countries can operate together more effectively.
Due to its overseas territories, including Martinique and Guadeloupe, France has permanent military units in the Caribbean. The Netherlands and Americans also have a large military presence in the region based in Curaçao.

Thanks for the info Baronmaya.
Within the Dutch cabinet, consideration is also being given to the political and military role that Curaçao and Aruba can play in the region.
This involves, among other things, the question of whether the islands can serve as a hub for the Netherlands and the rest of Europe.
According to Van der Burg, this could also yield economic benefits.
Due to their location close to Venezuela and Colombia, Curaçao and Aruba can play a role in trade, aid, and other contacts between Europe and the region.
Concrete plans or agreements were not announced during the press conference.
Travelers flying from Curaçao to the Netherlands tomorrow, September 8, should be aware that virtually no NS trains will be running upon arrival on Wednesday.
Dutch Railways staff will be on strike all day. Only the Airport Sprinter between Schiphol, Amsterdam Central, and Hoofddorp will continue to run.
” Concrete plans or agreements were not announced ” -every time I read that in various countries statements it tells me that the ordinary inhabitants of that country will not benefit.
Do they expect the native inhabitants to join any military force that will be set up ?
Curacao is forcefully governed by fascist corporate stooges that wire and handover tax money to these Zionist businesses so they are able to privatize the coastal infrastructure for the tourist industry to launder DEA drugs money to off shore and Canadian banks (*RBC/BankofNovaScotia route Curacao/Brazil/Lebanon/Canada).
Urban warfare is the military shooting and killing civilians who rise up against their governments corruption and repression and it seems to me they are behaving in a totally arrogant manner to the native inhabitants of Curacao.
They are walking all over their Human Rights and know it and are preparing for a backlash ,that’s the same methods used by US controlled countries in South America in the 50,s Nazi type repression.
Curacao is well informed over everything-it does not do !
Exactly, but it ignores the scream of the public crowd in order to continue with the Neo-Colonization annexing the complete south coast of the island prohibiting locals to visit their own shore line.
The hotels (like Turkish/Scandinavian Sunweb or/and TUI) offer package deals to its accomplished (temporary tourist or indefinite occupied) settlers to keep the locals out.
Curacao became the undisputed party centrum for derailed Dutch families and their futureless children.
