Caroline Darian’s book is such an honest account of the traumatic discovery that her father Dominique Pelicot was a uniquely depraved criminal

But “chemical submission” is far from unique

Now she is on a powerful mission to change how justice works

Ironically African liberation is always helped by French arrogance and failure to acknowledge past wrongs

A history #Macron keeps repeating

As former French President Jacques Chiraq, no left-winger, said in 2007

"Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third world power"

When Sembène and assistant director Clarence Delgado were filming Camp de Thiaroye decades after the events, the French military refused to cooperate and spied on the production. Then banned the release of the film in #France

If you haven’t seen Camp de Thiaroye, by the legendary Senegalese director Ousmane Sembène
you need to

This 1988 classic depicts the true story of how, even after serving France, black African troops were met with racism and brutality by the French state
