Visita di re Carlo ai Caraibi, dal Commonwealth esortazione a scuse su schiavitù
Shirley Botchwey, the Ghanaian diplomat, urges King Charles III to formally apologize for the historical slave trade linked to British colonialism. This call comes ahead of the King's upcoming mission to the Caribbean and Latin America, where he will attend a Commonwealth leaders' meeting. Botchwey emphasizes that a solemn apology from the British state would be beneficial, especially as many formerly colonized nations demand it. Buckingham Palace has stated that King Charles will address the issue of slavery during his trip, acknowledging the dark chapters of British history. However, no official apology has been made yet, as recent British governments have avoided discussing potential reparations.
