"Napalm and decapitations: France admits, but does it apologize?In the French political class, both for right and even left sides, the idea of colonial reparations seems an absolute taboo"

"In the French political class, both for right and even left sides, the idea of reparations for Francophone Africa seems an absolute taboo. Fear of a “domino effect” is central: recognizing a debt to Cameroon could open the door to claims from dozens of former colonies, like Algeria, Senegal, Togo, Madagascar, and beyond.

Selective recognition This recognition without reparations illustrates what some historians call memorial pacification: admitting the past wrongs to ease tensions while refusing to give up what truly matters money, justice, and legal responsibility. It is a sophisticated strategy for managing the past, designed to appear progressive while avoiding actual restitution." Lest 25.8.2025

18 Dec, 2024 11:22 Fance is losing the last vestiges of its grip on AfricaThe rupture of the defense agreement with Chad demonstrates the ineffectiveness of Paris’ foreign policy

"A French diplomacy in crisis: Macron’s failure in AfricaAfter 66 years of false independence, Chad refuses to continue living under the shadow of an old colonial power that, far from being a sincere partner, has acted as a predator. The rupture of this defense agreement is not merely a diplomatic act; it is the cry of despair from a nation weary of decades of foreign interference.

Chad is showing the way in Central Africa towards emancipation that resonates throughout the African continent. By breaking these defense agreements, the country is not only proclaiming its independence; it is also denouncing the heavy legacy of a slave-holding and colonizing France. This past, still very present in minds, weighs not only on political decisions but also on relations between Chad and Paris. The memory of the suffering inflicted by generations of colonial domination remains vivid, and Chadians refuse to let their future be dictated by those who long enslaved Chad.

The hope for a sovereign Chad, free to choose its partners, is now tangible. The recent collaboration with countries such as Russia reminds us that Chad aspires to establish relationships based on mutual respect and equality, rather than manipulation and selfish interests. This change in direction is commendable and could encourage other African nations to follow this bold example." Lest 25.8.2025

Senegal On November 29, 2024, the day after the statement by Chad’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye told AFP that France would have to close its military bases in Senegal.

“The presence of French military bases is incompatible with Senegal’s sovereignty. Senegal is an independent country, it is a sovereign country, and sovereignty does not accommodate the presence of military bases in a sovereign country,” he said.

Faye, who became president in April 2024 and pledged to support the country’s sovereignty and break free from foreign influence, clarified that the choice to expel French troops did not mean that Dakar would sever ties with Paris.

Cote d’Ivoire On February 20, 2025, France officially handed over its only military base in Cote d’Ivoire to the local authorities. This was announced on the French mission’s official webpage. On December 31, 2024, President Alassane Ouattara said that all French troops would be withdrawn from the 43rd BIMA marine infantry battalion at Port-Bouet starting in January. Located in a coastal suburb of Abidjan, Port-Bouet is home to an international airport and an autonomous port, where around 500 French soldiers were stationed. This withdrawal is part of a broader effort to strengthen the country’s own defense capabilities.

It is in this context that we have decided on the concerted and organized withdrawal of French forces in Cote d’Ivoire,” Ouattara said.

What is left? Until recently, France had military bases in at least eight African countries: Mali, Niger, Chad, Cote d’Ivoire, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Djibouti, and Gabon. Additionally, since 1990, the French Navy has been active in the Gulf of Guinea and off the West African coast as part of ‘Mission CORYMBE’, which safeguards French economic interests in the region.

Frankrinke er ikke det landet de vil at vi skal tro. De har, som utdrag fra artiklene over viser, vært en stor, undertrykkende imperialistisk makt i store deler av Afrika. Men Frankrikes aktivitet strekker seg langt utover kolonialisme, blodige kriger for å beholde områder de urettmessig har lagt under seg og økonomisk undertrykkelse. Frankrike er en stor atommakt og bærer mye av ansvaret for alle negative effekter av dette på verdensbasis:

"France concealed the true impact of its nuclear tests in the Pacific from the 1960s to the 1990s, a study has said.

Researchers used declassified French military documents, calculations and testimonies to reconstruct the impact of a number of the tests.

They estimated that around 110,000 people in French Polynesia were affected by the radioactive fallout.

The number represented "almost the entire" population at the time, the researchers found.

French Polynesia, a French territory made up of hundreds of islands and atolls including Tahiti, was the site of dozens of nuclear tests over 30 years.

Over the course of two years, researchers analysed around 2,000 documents released by the French military and recreated the impact of "the most contaminating" of France's nuclear tests carried out between 1966 and 1974.

The 41st test took place over Mururoa Atoll on 17 July 1974, when the atomic cloud took a different trajectory than planned. Some 42 hours after the test codenamed Centaur, "the inhabitants of Tahiti and the surrounding islands of the Windward group were subjected to significant amounts of ionising radiation", the report says.

The area was home to 110,000 people and Tahiti's main city, Papeete, alone had a population of 80,000.

According to the investigation, the resulting radiation from the French tests was between two and 10 times higher than estimates given by France's Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) in a 2006 report.

One reason, according to the findings, is that the CEA "did not always take into account the drinking of contaminated rainwater" when calculating the dose of radiation individuals were likely to have been exposed to." Lest 25.8.2025

USA var staten som først fant ut at Stillehavet og dets innbyggere var gode testkaniner for atombombesprengninger. Operation Crossroads var deres prøveprogram i øyrikene hvor de fortsatt krever suverenitet. Dette er forkastelig!

The Devastating History Of Bikini Atoll And The Cold War Nuclear Tests That Poisoned The Islands With Radiation

"Between 1946 and 1958, the U.S. government carried out 23 nuclear weapons tests at Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean, forcing the native islanders to leave their homes and contaminating the reef with dangerous radiation levels that persist to this day." 

"One day in 1946, Navy Commodore Ben Wyatt traveled to an isolated speck of land called Bikini Atoll located in the Marshall Islands between Australia and Hawaii. He had a grim message for its 167 inhabitants: The United States wanted to use the atoll as a nuclear testing site, and everyone who lived there would have to leave. Wyatt told the natives that their sacrifice would be for “the good of mankind,” and the men, women, and children reluctantly agreed. Soon afterward, the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests began with Operation Crossroads."

When the residents of Bikini Atoll agreed to leave their homes during the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests, it was with the understanding that they would someday be able to return. But the reality was more heartbreaking.

For years, the Bikini Atoll natives had struggled. As Marshall Islands resident Jack Niedenthal wrote for The Guardian in 2002, the Bikinians had first been sent 125 miles away to Rongerik Atoll. With little to eat, they begged to return to Bikini Atoll — but were sent to Kwajalein Atoll instead, and then to Kili Island. All the while, they asked any official who would listen about the possibility of returning home. By the late 1960s, it finally seemed feasible."

In 1969, the U.S. started to “decontaminate” Bikini Atoll. That same year, many of its former residents returned, and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission promised, “There’s virtually no radiation left and we can find no discernible effect on either plant or animal life.”

However, this wasn’t quite true. In 1978, tests revealed that the radioactive element cesium 137 was entrenched in the environment, affecting the islanders’ food. The people on Bikini Atoll had “incredible” levels of cesium 137 in their bodies — and they were forced to relocate once again. Twenty years later, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that islands in Bikini Atoll “should not be permanently resettled under the present radiological conditions.” In other words, it was still too dangerous.

The same is true elsewhere in the Marshall Islands, where health concerns about radioactive fallout endure. Residents have suffered from birth defects and cancer, and in 2010, the National Cancer Institute found that “as much as 1.6 percent of all cancers among those residents of the Marshall Islands alive between 1948 and 1970 might be attributable to radiation exposures resulting from nuclear testing fallout.”"  Lest 25.8.2025

Idag viser verken Frankrike eller USA det minste tegn til anger over å ha forgiftet små samfunn uten mulighet til å sette seg opp mot disse landenes krigsmaskineri samtidig som Frankrike og USA ødela hele jordens atmosfæriske balanse. Frankrike har innrømmet grusomheter begått på Afrikansk jord, en del av verden Frankrike beviselig ikke hører hjemme. Afrika er menneskehetens vugge - og de som bor der har helt klart retten på sin side over både Frankrike og USA! Disse landene respekterer derfor verken ansvaret for lidelsene de har påført verden eller lidelsene de påfører verden idag.

"Bloomberg: About 10 countries are ready to send their forces to Ukraine as a security guarantee

About 10 countries are ready to send forces to Ukraine as a security guarantee under a future peace deal. In particular, the United Kingdom and France are ready to send hundreds of their soldiers, who will be stationed in Ukraine, but away from the front.

Bloomberg reports this, citing sources.

The agency writes that on August 19, European officials focused on the plan to send British and French troops to Ukraine in terms of security guarantees for Ukraine. In particular, the issue was the number and location of personnel.

The British government statement said that European military leaders would meet with their American counterparts "in the coming days" to develop "robust security assurances and prepare to deploy forces to support them if hostilities cease"." Lest 25.8.2025

Ny lesverdig artikkel fra RT.com om kolonimaktenes undertrykkelse og manglende vilje til å ta ansvar for sine grusomheter - og en interressant og positivt erfaring med Italias seriøse forsøk på å rette opp urett mot Libya:

A century of oppression, and all they get is a toothThe issue of reparations has been facing resistance from former colonial powers, including the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands

"Libya’s Italy caseThe taboo surrounding reparations, though powerful, is neither absolute no unbreakable. A case in point is Italy’s 2008 Treaty of Friendship, Partnership and Cooperation with Libya, signed in Benghazi in August of that year, which serves as a unique and groundbreaking precedent – the first of its kind between a former colonial power and a former colony.

It was a direct acknowledgment of Italy’s “dark history” of colonial misdeeds, which included brutal tactics like aerial bombardment and the use of concentration camps where an estimated one million Libyans were slaughtered. For decades, Italy had suppressed this history so determinedly; even democratic post-war Italy banned the epic film “Lion of the Desert,” which depicted the Libyan resistance. Only in June 2009 were Italian audiences allowed to see the film despite it being available for decades and already shown across the world in major cinemas.

However, a combination of diplomatic pressure and public exposure prepared the ground for a historic apology. The terms of the treaty went far beyond a simple apology. As a concrete form of reparations, Italy agreed to a $5 billion payment over a 20-year period to finance infrastructure, educational, and medical projects in Libya. Beyond financial compensation, the treaty committed Italy funding scholarships, resume pension payments to Libyans forced into fascist Italian army and to returning all stolen artefacts – another colonial cultural atrocity.

As then-Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi hailed it, the treaty was an “important historical precedent that proves that compensation entails condemnation of colonialism regardless of the amount paid.” While the treaty’s implementation has been stalled by Libya’s post-2011 instability, its existence stands as a powerful model for other former colonies and a concrete challenge to Western nations that continue to reject all forms of colonial accountability."
