I could not find out in the article who the 12 countries were.
However, most of the problems in the poorer Caribbean countries are because of their government in the last 100 years.
When I was in the British Virgin Islands and Caymans I met many slave descendants that were very wealthy. In fact in the BVI’s I met some that owned their own island. I still remember a young black man pumping my gas at the station his dad owned. He was wearing a Rolex watch. His family also owned a car rental agency and the grocery store. Generally in the BVI’s, all the original slave descendants were all wealthy unless they were lazy drunks.
