Description
In the run-up to Algeria's presidential elections on September 7, unresolved historical issues between Algiers and Paris remain prominent, especially following the latest row between the two countries over the Western Sahara. Mustapha Boudina, a 92-year-old former war combattant who now heads the National Association of Former Death Row Inmates, says Algeria should "exert pressure" on France for it to "repent" and "ask for forgiveness" for the "numerous crimes" committed during the 132 years of often brutal rule in Algeria that ended in the devastating eight-year war, which led to Algeria's independence in 1962.
