The Alliance For Change (AFC) warmly welcomes His Majesty King Charles III to Guyana and recognises the significance of his visit as an opportunity to reflect on our shared history, strengthen relations and confront the enduring consequences of slavery and colonialism.
Guyana’s history, like that of much of the Caribbean, bears the deep scars of slavery, exploitation and the forced labour of generations of Africans whose suffering and sacrifice helped build the wealth and institutions of the British Empire. The consequences of that history continue to shape social and economic inequalities across our society.
The AFC believes that reparations for slavery are not merely a matter of historical regret; they are an imperative of justice, accountability and meaningful redress. Expressions of sorrow and acknowledgement, while important, must be accompanied by concrete action.
