Grenada’s Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell renews call for UK apology

Prime Minister of Grenada Dickon Mitchell has made another call for the United Kingdom to apologize for slavery in the Caribbean and its other former colonies and to pay reparations.
 
In an interview with the UK magazine The Independent, Mr Mitchell criticised Britain for failing to apologize for capturing and enslaving African people.
 
He said if the UK wants to continue being a country that demonstrates that it upholds the values of justice, fairness, democracy, and equal treatment of human beings, then it should be upfront in apologising for slavery.
 
Though asked by multiple prime ministers of former colonies, neither King Charles nor British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak have offered apologies or commitments to pay reparations.
