Keti Koti Festival 2023


KETI KOTI July 1, 2023 National Today

Today is Keti Koti, the day in which the end of slavery in the Dutch colonies of Suriname and in the Caribbean is recognised. Here's what you need to know. Slavery was formally abolished in the former colonies of Suriname and the Dutch Antilles on July 1, 1863, ending a period of around 200 years. However, slaves in Suriname were only fully freed in 1873, since the law stipulated that there.
