By Aaron Humes: The Government of Belize has added its voice to the many condemning Wednesday’s events in Washington D.C.

In a statement, it “condemns the brazen attempt to interrupt the constitutional order in the United States of America” occasioned by riots among supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump at the Capitol, where the votes were being counted to elect his successor, Joe Biden.

American authorities, it adds, must “ensure a peaceful and lawful transfer of power as constitutionally mandated and which reflects the will of the people freely expressed in free and fair elections.” Trump has reluctantly offered one after repeated invalid claims of election fraud which were defeated once again on Wednesday.

The statement concludes, “Belize welcomes the Biden-Harris Administration and looks forward to a continued strong and constructive working relationship with the United States of America.”

We’ll have more on Wednesday’s events elsewhere.
