Belize Information - Country Guides

Belize became independent on Sept. 21, 1981. But Guatemala, which had made claims on the territory since the 1800s, refused to recognize it. British troops remained in the country to defend it. Although the dispute between Guatemala and Great Britain remained unresolved, Guatemala recognized Belize's sovereignty in Sept. 1991. Guatemala, however, still claims more than half of Belize’s territory.

Prime Minister Said Musa was reelected to a second term in 2003.

In the 2008 parliamentary elections, the United Democratic Party wins 57% of the vote (25 of 31 seats) and the People's United Party 41%. Turnout is 74.5%. Dean Barrow is sworn in as prime minister on February 8. On February 11 he announces his cabinet (sworn in February 12) including himself as finance minister, Wilfred Elrington as foreign minister, and Carlos Perdomo as minister of national security.
