Algeria's parliament debates law criminalizing French colonial rule (1830–1962) over violence, displacement, and exploitation.
Algeria’s parliament has begun debating a draft law that would criminalize French colonial rule from 1830 to 1962, calling it a key step in asserting national sovereignty and historical justice.
The bill, introduced by Speaker Ibrahim Boughali, aims to legally condemn colonial-era crimes including violence, displacement, and economic exploitation, and to affirm Algeria’s national memory.
The move comes amid rising tensions with France over its recognition of Morocco’s Western Sahara autonomy plan.
While details of the law’s implementation remain unclear, the debate reflects Algeria’s broader push for historical accountability and reconciliation.
