My message to Argentina:
“If you have to deny the existence of a people to make your argument work, your argument doesn’t work.”
Self-determination is our right as Falkland Islanders.
Drop your colonialist ambitions. They have no place at the United Nations.

😢 freedom is a precious gift
42 years ago the Falklands people were saved by the brave British forces. We are forever grateful. Our children say it best…..
Please share: Children from the
#FalklandIslands
say “Thank you” to the
#veterans
who liberated the
#Falklands
and gave them freedom, and a future in 1982.

Went to Yorke Bay for the first time now it (and the whole Falkland Islands) is free of 1982 landmines....
My mum cried because of the memories she held and those she missed out on making at this beautiful beach.

41 years ago my mother and community were freed from Goose Green hall
They saw their peaceful home torn apart by invading Argentine soldiers, bombs and landmines

This is a momentous point in our history to finally liberate our land of occupation!
"We couldn't be more proud of our

of this explosive threat. We remain forever grateful to the Falklanders for welcoming us for the 11 long years it has taken to safely remove over 20,000
