It is a crime against humanity but we won't recognize it nor apologize!! Why?? Because we are a bunch of hypocrites...

[esashaik]

The Germans apologised, the Dutch apologised for committing genocide on the Indonesians so why can't France apologise.

[waseemakhtar]

Actually there is no colonial power that did not commit crimes against humanity.
Now they pretend to be champions of human rights.
What a shame

[shreyandattagupta]

British should also apologize for what they did in Indian subcontinent and African countries

[TheWskiller]

We dont want their appoligy we want JUSTICE! And Allah will give us justice.

[zidfih]

At the end of the day they got outta here militarily and politically so they keep they apologies.

[afrazhussain]

The same happened during the British rule in India. They have killed millions which have not even been recorded by anyone. However one such instance is when Winston Churchill starved and killed the ppl of bengal also known as bengal famine. In which more than 6 million ppl died!

Power doesn’t make you right and its changes at time...

[abcdefify]

If he admitted that Franc’s colonization was crime against humanity then france should be brought under International Crime Tribunal. They should also pay reparation to Algeria. France should also stop colonizing the other 14 CFA countries in Africa

[mzafar]

Germany apologized to the innocent people which it killed during WW2, France should also apologize and provide reparations to Algeria. France and Brits are two faces of the same coin.

[abdulhalim]

Cut all economic relations with France

[thinklogical]

We can't expect shameful person will apologize 4 his shameful act. Because shameful person only believe in power not humanity and humbleness... I hope people of France will understand peoples sentiments because humanity first

[ughwhatever]

I’m Italian and apologize to Somalia, Libya, Eritrea, Ethiopia and the nations we hurt in WW2. From my Cuban side I want to apologize to Somalia

[moegreenback]

France should pay its former colonies for damages caused during its brutal occupation!

[nishant]

If he apologizes it means he acceptscrime was done. ....so Algeria will probably demand 1 trillion dollar😂😂

[adjoftce]

Turkey criticizing France for Algeria when they literally sided with France and voted multiple times against algeria's independence

[WasiqJaved]

I am an Algerian born Pakistani. Algeria was colonized by French. Pakistan was part of British India which was colonized by British. When it came to colonial treatments, British rulers treated its colonies fairly well, although there were dark chapters like Bengal famine, Irish war and famine, but overall British imperial rule marked with a level of political regarding freedom and of course, they departed away right on time to let these colonies develop itself. France however, had a poor reputation of treating its colonies and it staged many wars against French rule, the two most devastated wars were in Indochina and Algeria, so France remained to be one of the worst oppressors in the history.

[esashaik]

If these European colonisers could go back in time to prevent their genocidal empires from collapsing they would do it.
