The first congress of independence movements in French colonies,
organized by the People's Union for the Liberation of Guadeloupe
and supported by the Baku Initiative Group (BIG), will take place
in Baku on July 17-18, Azernews reports.
It will involve leaders from over 15 Political parties and
independence movements representing Corsica, Melanesia, Polynesia,
the Caribbean, and the Antilles, regions that have historically
suffered from French colonialism.
The concept of holding the congress stems from the political
parties and movements advocating for the independence of the French
overseas territories.
During the congress, three organizations from the islands of
Bonaire and Saint-Martin, which are part of the Caribbean
Netherlands, will participate as guests of honor.
The two-day congress will provide participating parties with an
opportunity to discuss strategies for closer organization in the
fight for independence. Additionally, they will coordinate
result-oriented activities aimed at defeating French colonialism by
establishing a unified platform. Representatives from the colonies
will also explore effective practices and strategies for
self-determination.
The congress will contribute to increasing the awareness of the
international community about the numerous crimes and illegal acts
committed by the French government against the native peoples who
are the real owners of those territories in the mentioned colonies,
and to draw attention to the problem of colonialism, which is one
of the problems of the 21st century.
The Baku Initiative Group (BIG) was created on July 6, 2023, in
Baku by participants in the Complete Elimination of Colonialism
conference within the framework of the ministerial meeting of the
Coordination Bureau of the Non-Aligned Movement chaired by the
Republic of Azerbaijan.
BIG supports the struggle for the freedom of people in various
regions of the world still suffering from colonization in the 21st
century. BIG has organized approximately 15 international
conferences. Among these, four were held at the United Nations
headquarters in New York, Geneva, and Vienna. Additionally, one
conference took place in Istanbul, Türkiye, while the remaining
gatherings were hosted in Baku.
