Members of T&T’s National Reparations Committee (NRC) will meet today with the country’s new ambassador to Caricom, Ralph Maraj, to discuss Government’s commitment to the regional reparations movement.
Committee member and executive director of the Emancipation Support Committee of Trinidad and Tobago (ESCTT), Zakiya Uzoma-Wadada, confirmed the meeting yesterday. This follows Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s pledge to re-empower the committee and support Caricom’s reparations agenda internationally during African Emancipation Day festivities last week.
“It is always good to hear from the Government. It matters not which government—what is important is the recognition of the challenges faced by African people and the efforts to address them,” Uzoma-Wadada said.
