Algeria Urges French Recognition of Colonial Crimes
Algeria has again requested that the French government admit to crimes stemming from their days as colonial rulers of the North African country. Specifically, Algeria would like France to admit they massacred 45,000 Algerians that demanded independence following WWII in 1945. The following war for independence left 1.5 Algerians dead. The full story is here. The Jurist had a great point in regards to this, how can the French demand Turkey recognize their slaughter of Armenians during WWI when the French won't recognize their own murderous history?
