The first Congress of Independence Movements from French-colonized territories has today kicked off in the capital city of Baku.
Organized by the People's Union for the Liberation of Guadeloupe with the support of the Baku Initiative Group, the Congress brings together leaders from more than 15 political parties and independence movements from Corsica, Melanesia, Polynesia, the Caribbean, and the Antilles islands, all of which are experiencing French colonialism.
The idea of holding the congress originated from the political parties and movements fighting for the independence of the French overseas territories.
