The Netherlands to apologise for slavery
THE NETHERLANDS is set to apologise for slavery and colonialism, but their government hopes to avoid paying reparations by offering a museum and a small amount of money for “awareness projects.”
Anti-racism campaigners welcomed the move by the Netherlands to be one of the few colonisers in the world to apologise, but some called for genuine reparations to be paid. There has been a big push for an apology from Suriname, which sits next to Guyana on the Caribbean-facing coast of South America, but many Surinamese have been clear they want compensation.
15,000 Dutch moved to South Africa in the 16th Century and established apartheid through oppression including the Khoikhoi and others massacres, and shipped tens of thousands of South African slaves to the Americas.
