Macron said he wants "Africa and Europe to help populations trapped in Libya by providing massive support to the evacuation of endangered people." Already Burkina Faso's foreign affairs minister has recalled his ambassador from Libya, calling it "unacceptable to have slaves in this 21st century." "I come from a generation that sees Africa as a partner," Michel said. "There is no more room in our generation for nostalgia about the past or a sense of guilt." Macron, 39, also emphasized his youth, referring to himself as the child of "a generation that has never known Africa as a colonized continent."
