SPEECH DELIVERED BY RT. HON. SAID MUSA, PRIME MINISTER, BELIZE, ON THE OCCASION OF THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF INDEPENDENCE OF BELIZE, 21 SEPTEMBER 2006, BELMOPAN, BELIZE

It was 25 years ago today that Belizeans achieved their aspirations nurtured over many years to rid themselves of colonial status and become a sovereign independent State with security and territorial integrity.

This was made possible above all because so many Belizeans had, over the centuries since the settlement was established by British logwood cutters, struggled for their rights, first against slavery and later against colonialism.
