The Caribbean nation is asking for millions of pounds
2 days ago
Antiguan Prime Minister, Gaston Browne, wrote to the warden of All Souls College, Sir John Vickers, seeking reparations for millions of pounds which were earned from the “hard labour” of enslaved people in Antigua and Barbuda.
The letter, sent on Tuesday 6th April, proposed that “the college should repay its debt to enslaved persons on Antigua and Barbuda, who were the real source of benefit to All Souls, by contributing to the higher education of the people of Antigua and Barbuda through postgraduate scholarships to the College for eligible Antiguans and Barbudans and sending direct donations to the Five Islands (Antigua) Campus of the University of the West Indies (UWI) which was launched in September 2019 as the fourth landed campus of the University”.

The plan by LIAT, or more appropriately what has been salvaged by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, to commence a scheduled commercial service to seven destinations on Nov. 30, has gone belly up so to speak.
A spoke was put in the wheel of this plan when Barbados and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, two of the seven destinations included in the resumed service plan, did not give approval for landing in their territories.
