由于西撒哈拉问题日益紧张, 阿尔及利亚要求法国承认殖民罪行, Algeria demands France acknowledge colonial crimes, return remains, and open archives amid rising tensions over Western Sahara.

阿尔及利亚再次要求法国正式承认殖民暴行、归还遗骨和开放受限制的档案, Algeria is renewing demands for France to formally acknowledge colonial atrocities, return remaining human remains, and open restricted archives, as tensions rise over France’s support for Morocco’s claim to Western Sahara. 尽管像2020年返回24个头骨和麦肯总统2022年的访问这样的象征性姿态,阿尔及利亚认为法国的努力是不够的,特别是在麦肯拒绝正式道歉和他2021年的言论质疑“阿尔及利亚国家”殖民前的存在之后。 阿尔及利亚利用其能源财富和区域影响力,利用历史怨愤作为外交杠杆,加深两国间复杂和紧张的关系。 Despite symbolic gestures like the 2020 return of 24 skulls and President Macron’s 2022 visit, Algeria views France’s efforts as insufficient, especially after Macron’s refusal to issue a formal apology and his 2021 remarks questioning the pre-colonial existence of an “Algerian nation.” Leveraging its energy wealth and regional influence, Algeria is using historical grievances as diplomatic leverage, deepening the complex and strained relationship between the two nations.
