Belize has been invaded by a load of squatters. It was only a matter of time before Belize responded. Shame it was a child that got shot though.
Hope Cameron has made all necessary arrangements.

Guatemala intends to do no such thing as their Foreign Minister is saying. They need to draw back out of Belizean territory to give peace a chance. I don't trust the OAS, they have contributed to the problem by not speaking up when Belizeans were killed or injured by Guatemalans. No to war in Central America.

I predict a Ghurkha
3000 thuggish murderers against one Ghurkha is hardly fair odds but maybe argentina can lend them some forces to make it more of a fair fight?

We know the Gurkhas , they were here, probably the world best jungle soldier, a real specialist. I hope there is never a reason for violence, they taunt our soldiers all the time. A video was played on channel 5 news from Belize capturing a standoff with the military, the news anchor reporting was visibly shaken after she witness the fiasco. The allies of Belize who have a loud and respected voice, please speak up.

What the OAS should do is outlaw silly irredentist claims, such as:
Guatemala's, Argentina's, Bolivia's, Venezuela's, etc.
