Algeria moves to label French colonisation a ‘state crime’ and seek reparations

Algeria’s parliament has advanced a landmark bill that would formally declare France’s 130 year colonisation of the country a “state crime” and hold it responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed between 1830 and 1962. Lawmakers are voting on the legislation amid a wider diplomatic rift with Paris, with supporters calling the move a historic step in the country’s quest for colonial justice.​ The draft law seeks to criminalise France’s colonial rule, classifying atrocities committed during the occupation as crimes against humanity under international law.

AFCON 2025 set for kickoff in Morocco

The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations kicks off in Morocco today, bringing together 24 of the continent’s best teams in a tournament already marked by debate over its timing.

Despite the complaints, he argues that African football authorities must prioritise conditions that suit the continent’s climate and infrastructure rather than bowing completely to European interests.​ The expanded 24 team format means more countries now have the chance to play on the big stage, raising excitement among fans across Africa. However, it also increases pressure […]
