A look back at Belize's Independence Day, September 21st, 1981

[@kensmyth1663]

I was there in Belize City on Independence Night, all the way from Ireland, as a 20 year old. Wonderful memories.

Belize is for Belize. We are a proud Belizean Nation and we stand alone. Guatemala is simply our boundary neighbor as well as our fellow Mexico.

[@edyquevedo6730]

By chance you know Guatemala.

[@aquamarine2416]

you don't stand Alone, Belize belongs to the British

[@edyquevedo5160]

The English here in Guatemala are investing money now that they can enter, an example is a British high school and there are rumors that could found a British university, and that why they did not do it in Belize, if they had the Belizeans as lackeys, it will be because here there are more people of category than in Belize.

Yes the mayan territory of Belice belongs to Guatemala. Like Quebec belongs to Canada and Malvinas (Faukland islands so-called by the english pirates always trying to change names to territories they sacked and robbed) belong to Argentina.

Personas de El salvador, Hunduras y claro guatemala imigran a belice porque en belice hay mejores oportonidades y esta bien no lo andamos gritando

[@genius0173]

Belice es tan solo una provincia de Guatemala y siempre lo sera. Lo qur hizo la llamada ONU fue muy ilegal violando el derecho internacional de Guatemala. Todo el mundo sabe que Belice es terrirorio maya Guatemalteco

[@genius0173]

Guatemala debio haber sacado a los piratas ingleses hace siglos atraves de las armas; al pirata , mercenario y servilista ingles no se le puede confiar ni un solo metro. Quebec pertenece a Canada, las malvinas son Argentinas y Belice es territorio Guatemalteco.

[@genius0173]

Belice will always be part of its legitime owner The Republic of Guatemala. The fact that english pirates settled in the north part of Guatemala about 2 centuries ago what was initially about 4,460 kms2 and then with time advanced south into more guatemalan territory doesn't mean that Guatemala has to concede any small part of its territory.
