Azerbaijan's Baku is hosting the first Congress with the participation of leaders of more than 15 political parties and movements for the independence of territories affected by French colonialism.
The congress is organized by the People's Union for the Liberation of Guadeloupe and with the support of the Baku Initiative Group.
The idea of holding the Congress belongs to the political parties and movements fighting for the independence of the overseas territories of France.
Three organizations from the islands of Bonaire and Saint-Martin, which are colonies of the Netherlands, will take part in the Congress as guests of honor.
The congress, which will last two days, will be an opportunity for the participating parties to discuss ways to coordinate result-oriented action to overcome French colonialism by creating a common platform for a more organized struggle for independence. Representatives of the colonies will also discuss the most effective practices and strategies for the struggle for self-determination.
