The Other Side of Colonialism seen from Algeria - My report for @OrientXXI @WardaMD
In Algiers, what is commemorated on the 8th of May is not the Allied victory over Nazi Germany but the massacres of Algerian separatists by the French in Setif, Guelma and Kherrata and their areas. More than 70 years later and despite a few politicians’ speeches, the “country of human rights” has never yet been able to recognize the criminal nature of colonization and revise its national narrative.
