Algeria’s shifting foreign policy concerns the former colonial power over how to conduct its North Africa policy, forcing a resistant Macron to deal with the country’s old colonial sins
, barring French aircraft from entering the country on Saturday, and recalled its ambassador from Paris.
Macron complained that “official history of Algeria has been rewritten, not based on truths, but based on hatred against France” without mentioning his country’s occupation and explaining why Algerians should like Paris’ colonialist presence. “Macron’s remarks are an unacceptable insult to the memory of over 5.
“There were previous colonisations. I am fascinated to see Turkey’s ability to make people totally forget the role it played in Algeria and the domination it has exercised, and to explain that we are the only colonisers. It’s great. Algerians believe it,”appearing to despise Algerians’ capability of understanding of history and differentiating brutal occupiers from others.
Interestingly, the recent Macron statement came during a private meeting with French-Algerians, who fought on the side of France against Algerian resistance, being accused as “collaborators” of colonialists. In the meeting,most of whom were left in the lurch by consecutive French governments. France’s colonial presence in Algeria began in 1830 and until 1875, when much of Algeria’s occupation was complete, at least 825,000 indigenous Algerians were already killed by occupiers. But the worst was to come.
