Joint declarations. Lovely. Meanwhile in Dominica, a government that can’t fix a road calls itself the Global South’s vanguard. New Delhi talks influence. We can’t get a ferry to run on time. Restraint in the Middle East — sure. We can’t restrain a pothole. Big words travel far. Ours stay stuck at the airport.
