A Time To Speak

The point has been made to the United Nations Special Committee of 24 on Decolonisation that the will of the Anguillian people must not be misunderstood when it comes to self-determination. Indeed our turbulent history reveals that we are a fiercely-independent-minded people, never liked subjugation from any outside power, as the courageous battles against the French and Wild Irish invasions of the 18th century demonstrated. The upheaval and rebellion against union with, and dominance by St. Kitts over a century and a half, culminating in the 1967 revolution and quest for self-determination, was another demonstration of our resolve to handle our own affairs without foreign force or interference.
