Algeria commemorates independence activists killed in Paris

The incident highlights the “hatred” of France during the colonial era, says the African state’s leader

The massacre of dozens of Algerian independence activists by French police 63 years ago exemplified the abuse that people in the North African nation endured during colonialism, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has said.
