First modification:
This Friday, March 18, the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Évian Agreements was commemorated, which sought to end the war between Algeria and France, a conflict that lasted almost eight years and claimed the lives of some 300,000 people, but paved the way for Algerian independence. In this edition of El Debate we take stock 60 years after the signing of the pacts.
The initial relief brought by the ceasefire achieved with the Accords was short-lived. The transition period was particularly violent on both sides of the Mediterranean. The OAS, a far-right dissident French paramilitary group, did not accept Algerian independence easily. For this reason, he organized a large number of attacks, bombings and assassinations that caused an exodus of thousands of French who lived in the new North African country.
60 years after the signing, how much was implemented? How is France’s relationship with Algeria? How are relations between France and its former territories in North Africa today?
The analysis, together with the guests Jean-Marie Chenou, professor of political science and global studies at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia; Dagauh Komenan, African historian specializing in international relations.
