Algeria demands France acknowledge colonial crimes, return remains, and open archives amid rising tensions over Western Sahara.
Algeria is renewing demands for France to formally acknowledge colonial atrocities, return remaining human remains, and open restricted archives, as tensions rise over France’s support for Morocco’s claim to Western Sahara.
Despite symbolic gestures like the 2020 return of 24 skulls and President Macron’s 2022 visit, Algeria views France’s efforts as insufficient, especially after Macron’s refusal to issue a formal apology and his 2021 remarks questioning the pre-colonial existence of an “Algerian nation.” Leveraging its energy wealth and regional influence, Algeria is using historical grievances as diplomatic leverage, deepening the complex and strained relationship between the two nations.
