Algeria tells France to ‘decolonize its history’

Algerian Foreign Minister Ramtane Lamamra has told France to “decolonize” its history.

On a trip to Mali, Lamamra said French President Emmanuel Macron suffered from “forgetfulness of history,” Malian TV reported late Tuesday.

“Our foreign partners need to decolonize their own history,” said Lamamra.

“They need to free themselves of certain attitudes, certain behaviours, certain visions which are intrinsically linked to the incoherent logic driven by the West’s claimed mission to bring civilization,” he said.

This mission, he said, “was the ideological cover used to try to gain acceptance for the crime against humanity which was (France’s) colonization of Algeria, colonization of Mali and the colonization of so many African peoples.”
