French Inhumanity in Algeria

The Algerian War (lasting nearly a decade, ending in 1962) claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands, with over 2.5 million French conscripts and reservists taking part; but France's widescale abuses first began once France violently took over Algeria in 1830.

(Algeria was then nominally a part of the Ottoman Empire, which Algeria had voluntarily joined in the early 16th century, once Ottomans helped liberate Algeria from Spanish control.)

France does not want to talk about its inhuman methods which, granted, was commonplace among the colonialist nations of the time. But it's all here; systematic torture, destruction of villages, rape, massacres, and even concentration camps. Once France relocated perhaps two million Algerians, from the mountainous areas to the plains, many could not adjust; their economy and agriculture were further spoiled when France detonated atomic bombs in the Sahara.

What France needs to consider is its hypocritical moral posturing regarding "genocide"; it is a crime in France to speak the historical truth about what happened to World War I Ottoman-Armenians, given the mindless politics of genocide, and the influence of France's Armenian community. Not only is there no evidence for an "Armenian Genocide," as France discovered in 1919-21 along with ally Britain during the conducting of the Malta Tribunal, but France allowed its Armenian Legion to commit systematic mass murder upon the helpless Muslim population in Cilicia, after the war.

France is therefore falsely accusing a nation of a terrible crime while outlawing the truth, and at the same time while keeping quiet about its own terrible crimes.

Many YouTube videos on the Algerian subject are in French, keeping English-speakers in the dark, in regards to the excesses of France. The excerpts of the 1992 documentary that is featured here was produced in France, and the truth is spoken directly from the horses' mouths: French veterans who were involved in the war. (Over two dozen were interviewed. The version of the film featured here has been translated into Turkish, and English subtitles have been added.)

The writers of "The War WIthout a Name" were Patrick Rotman and Bertrand Tavernier, the latter also having directed. The original was four hours long, and a variation of this production (from 2002) may be downloaded at:

An interesting newspaper article on the documentary may be accessed at (copy, combine & paste):

/Algerian_Film_14920.html

Rotman is quoted as saying: "It's a shameful page of French history that people decide either to turn or to rip out."

The article caps off with "According to the Algerian
government, 1.5 million Algerians (mostly civilians) were killed," the favorite number of most Armenians; as much as we are informed at the article's beginning that the real figure was 500,000, EXACTLY as in the case of the Armenians! (Most of whom died in non-murderous ways, famine & disease, the same as for most of the nearly 3 million Ottoman Muslims who died.)

Patrick Rotman also co-wrote a 2007 feature film entitled "L'ennemi intime" (The Intimate Enemy), called the French "Platoon" in some circles, and was directed by Florent Emilio Siri.

WATCH OUT what I said must shock (sit down before read it):3 years ago, French lobbies and our dear president Sarkozy's party (UMP) tried to create a law which: obliges French to think, to say that the colonization in Algeria was more great as evil!!! It's not a joke-all teachers, who would not say that, would be jailed!! *E Yes in France, we make laws which explain us what to think**

HAPPILY, it was not voted (our dear fascist government must have realized that it was a little too nazi E.G)
