The Institute for Action Against Discrimination (IFAAD) is calling on King Charles III to use his historic visit to Guyana to confront Britain’s role in slavery and engage directly with descendants of enslaved Africans on the question of reparatory justice.
The organisation wants the British monarch to move beyond ceremonial engagements and acknowledge the enduring consequences of slavery, arguing that the royal visit presents an opportunity for meaningful dialogue on one of the most painful chapters in Guyana’s history.
In a statement issued during the King’s two-day state visit, IFAAD Vice Chairman Pt. Ubraj Narine called for formal discussions involving representatives of the African Guyanese community, civil society organisations, historians and advocates for reparatory justice.
