The government’s decision to cancel this year’s Independence Day parade and fireworks has been described by historian Dr Claudius Fergus as a major loss for the nation.
Speaking on CNC3’s The Morning Brew on Monday, Dr Fergus questioned the replacement of the parade with a national day of prayer and reflection. The UNC-led administration cited security concerns for high-profile officials as the reason for the change.
Dr Fergus avoided commenting on the political justification but said the parade carried a significance that should not be overlooked.
