Algeria is waiting for an apology for Frances 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.
I believe that with President Macron, we can go further in the appeasement process he is a very honest man, who wants to improve the situation.
Frances 132 years of colonial rule in Algeria, and the brutal eight-year war that ended it, have left a legacy of often prickly relations between the two countries.

Sure, they’ll get right back to you with it. Please hold your breath, in the meanwhile.
So the whole Earth is unraveling. Everyone owes me something.
I’d like the muslim Algerians to apologize for killing innumerable Christians in the country from the 7th century until now.
After that, maybe we’ll talk.
Ingrates.
Algeria can apologize to its own citizns first.
All this apology crap neds to end.
When will the Saracens and their ancestors ever be asked for “forgiveness” for over 800 years of brutal conquest, enslavement, murder, rape and subjugation? When?
“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.
De Gaulle was the world’s biggest jerk. Watching him being forced to retire in 1968 was a pleasure. He hated the U.S. and Britain for liberating France in 1944.
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?
