PARAMARIBO, Suriname, CMC – A Suriname based foundation is calling on the Netherlands to apologise for its role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Chairman of the Broki (Bridge) Collective said if the Dutch didn’t apologise in 2013, then the group would lodge a complaint with international organizations. “If the Dutch don’t apologize this year, I will seek support from other countries with a slavery past to bring this matter to the attention of the European Union and the United Nations and force the Netherlands to formally apologize,” Bottse said.
