Pointe Xpress – On Emancipation Day, PM Gaston Browne called on European countries to honor calls for reparations for the centuries of enslavement of African peoples.
He demanded that Europe acknowledge their past and make amends for the immense suffering endured by the descendants of those enslaved.
Browne emphasized the significance of Emancipation Day in recognizing the injustices of the past and the contributions of the ancestors to freedom.
He also urged for reforms in the world’s financial system to address the inequities faced by small island developing states like Antigua and Barbuda.
The plea for reparatory justice underscores the ongoing struggle for acknowledgment and restitution.
