Algeria is waiting for an apology for France’s colonial occupation of the North African country, the president said, expressing hope that Emmanuel Macron would build on recent conciliatory overtures.
A global re-examination of the legacy of colonialism has been unleashed by the May killing of unarmed African American George Floyd by a white police officer, which sparked mass protests around the world.
“We have already had half-apologies. The next step is needed… we await it,” President Abdelmadjid Tebboune said Saturday in an interview with news channel France 24.

Sure, they’ll get right back to you with it. Please hold your breath, in the meanwhile.

After that, maybe we’ll talk.
Ingrates.

“We’re super-sorry we tried to civilize you.”
I wonder how many slaves has there been in Algeria? I also wonder if there are any slaves in Algeria today?
France pulled them out of 7th century into the modern world and they want an apology?
The land that pirated, put Eropeans into slavery and generally terrorized Europe for centuries? How about a big NO.
The Pied Noir French are, to put it mildly, totally hostile to such a concept
Right after the africans apologize for 800 years of colonization of Europe, enslavement of millions, terror, rape and theft for a millenium.
Take note that this Tebboune guy actually thinks there is an ongoing “appeasement process” (his words) being conducted by Macron.
Les pieds-noirs were totally screwed by De Gaulle in 1962. They lost absolutely everything when they were expelled by Ahmed Ben Bella’s Muslim savages and then Le Grand Charles did nothing to resettle them in France.

I want reparations from Algeria to every African American in the USA for hunting down and selling their ancestors. /s
What’s the figure some one came up with? 14 Trillion owed?
