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

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
