nation had actually not possessed any
colonies in this part of the world, it nevertheless
profited from the slave trade
by being a leading supplier of major
business services that had enabled the
trade to thrive and prosper. Services
included the production and sale of
marine instruments, which helped with
navigation of ships belonging to nations
including Britain, France, The Netherlands,
Portugal, Spain, Denmark. For
this it should be held accountable today,
he argued.
Worse yet, the research has unearthed
clear evidence that that nation was a
supplier of mercenary soldiers with the
most glaring deployment of about 8,000
soldiers in 1772-1779 to fight, kill and
severely torture both plantation and
runaway slaves in the Americas. Battles
up to 1779 killed hundreds of tribal
Aluka resistance fighters.
Until recently, the Swiss were not
publicly known for any major role in
the slave. All that is through the window
now. Dr. Hilary Beckles, the head
of the umbrella Caribbean Reparations
Commission (CRC) and principal of the
University of the West Indies (UWI) was
in Guyana for talks this week with the
local national chapter and to participate
in a lecture session on reparations and
where the region is as it tries to get
the attention of former slave trading
nations.
“Dr. Hassler gave a very, very detailed
presentation to us. We will approach
them discreetly and see if we can start a
conversation that would lead to a solution,
find some kind of compromise. He
thinks this is the way to go,” said Eric
Phillips, the head of the Guyana reparations
chapter and a leading light in the
regional fight.
Demand notices from governments
for payments and for a summit meeting
with European leaders have long been
sent to various capitals over a year now.
Some countries have responded favorably,
meaning they are willing to sit
down and others have refused outright,
while some are yet to respond.

Countless organizations have
uttered similar thoughts, and now
with a victorious sign that their voices
were heard, this is one step closer
to assuring the court ruling further
delays, said an organizer with DRUM.
“For us as an organization, we are
happy because this means our community
will be able to have the opportunity
to fill out the census without
the fear of seeing a citizenship question,”
said William Depoo.
He credits the triumphant news to
the diligence of community organizations
continually speaking out
against the citizenship question, and
those that filed lawsuits.
“This is really the work of a lot of
grassroots groups like DRUM, that
have been doing community outreach
and workshops, and keeping
the pressure on citizenship questions,”
he said.
Many advocacy groups fervently
protested against the question on the
census, petitioning and rallying up
signatures during the public comment
period — a period where the
public could submit their comment
on census question.
With the likelihood of an appeal,
Depoo said he was confident that any
challenge led by the Trump administration
will falter due to time.
“I definitely feel like Trump will
appeal, but if it gets to the supreme
court there probably won’t be enough
time so I think at least for 2020 —
we’re safe,” he said.
But the work is not done yet.
Depoo said with more involvement
from the community, DRUM plans to
continue hosting their informative
workshops and community-oriented
events, and assuring that they are
able to do so.
“Right now for us, the focus is
on making sure we get the necessary
funding to do census work, and
make sure we are reaching our communities,
and making sure they get
counted,” he said.
