Why France’s former colonies in Africa must demand an apologyRamzy BaroudShort Url https://arab.news/bw475Tunisian President Kais Saied is welcomed by French President Emmanuel Macron for bilateral talks at the Elysee Palace, Paris, June 22, 2020. Sadly, the parliament rejected a motion put forward by the centrist Al-Karama coalition calling for a French apology, despite 15 hours of debate. A French apology to Tunisia — and many other African countries that endured years of French colonialism — is long overdue. The rest of France’s African colonies were ravaged mercilessly by greedy French administrators. Indeed, France can be found in every aspect of life, whether political, military, economic or even cultural, in many African countries.
