[quote]About 27 years after the Rwandan genocide, French
President Emmanuel Macron acknowledged France's role in the mass
killings during a visit to the Gisozi memorial site in Kigali,
Rwanda's capital. He said that France accepts responsibility for
ignoring warnings, but stopped short of an apology or admitting
complicity. ⁣

Let's be honest the reason that he is even doing this is because
Rwanda is distancing itself from France every year. [/quote]

Imagine apologizing, yet, absolving any wrongdoing after the
fact. You can’t put a disclaimer on an apology and actually
think anyone will believe you genuinely meant it. [/quote]

France has murdered 22 African leaders since the 60's alone.
This 'sorry' is a mockery as Macaroni is as bad or maybe even
worse than any other French President in history. He is reviled
everywhere he goes. [/quote]

France's double standard on Palestine
[quote]France's "values charter" bans the discussions of
Jerusalem violence taking place currently and also any possible
Israeli aggression against Palestinians in the future.[/quote]

Translation: Let's make France and the French people look like
even a bigger joke today than we did yesterday! Time to
double-down on hypocrisy yet again, after-all we're Westerners
and hypocrisy and evil is our game!

The "Black" People were not Responsible for Introduce

But them. See this information about how French still colonized
their former "African" colonies during modern era, the policy
named "Frenchafrique" :

[quote]And the French - humiliated by their defeat and
occupation at the hands of the Nazis - were eager to maintain
their empire. So they responded to revolts in Algeria,
Indochina, and Madagascar with brutal reprisals.
...
By 1960, France was forced to grant independence to almost all
its colonies. But something really important happened in Africa.
Basically, the leadership of France decided to keep their empire
in Western and Central Africa intact in everything but name.
The plan was simple. When an African country gained its
independence, it was made to sign a so-called "cooperation
agreement" with France, which would outline the nature of their
relations moving forward. In exchange for French foreign aid,
African countries were required to give France rights over
natural resources, allow France to maintain troops in their
territory indefinitely, and - most importantly - keep these
countries's currencies linked to France's currency, the
franc.[/quote]

[quote]The De Gaulle government created a financial system of
the CFA franc (Colonies francaises d'Afrique), with the CFA
being the French acronym for "French colonies of Africa". The
exchange provided a stable and strong currency for the 14 former
French colonies in newly independent Africa, but it also legally
required them to provide 50 percent of their foreign currency
reserves to the French Ministry of Finance, plus 20 percent
financial obligations.
This means that the members of the franc financial zone
countries have only 30 percent of the money, with the money
printed under the supervision of the National Bank of France.
This decree ensured that France's grip on Africa did not end
with the announcement of political independence. Worse still, if
14 African countries want to get their money's worth, they'll
have to borrow it from France at regulated commercial rates."
...
The West African countries with CFA francs are Mali, Niger,
Senegal, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau and Ivory
Coast.
Central African countries with CFA franc currency are Cameroon,
Chad, Gabon, Equatorial New Guinea, Republic of Congo, Central
African Republic[/quote]
There's corruption on any people, but the "whites" commit not
individual corruption but democratic corruption, or people's
corruption which worse. That's result of liberal pervert
ideology which rooted from French Revolution which the worldview
was influenced by Freemasonry

HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/french-youtuber-crashed-vietnamese-wedding-002948877.html
[quote]French YouTuber says he felt 'uncomfortable' at
Vietnamese wedding he crashed in viral video
...
In his now-deleted TikTok video titled “How I joined a
Vietnamese Wedding without being invited,” Alwin GC (@alwingc)
makes sure to specify that he was not invited to the wedding but
asks for entrance as he is “French” and a “YouTuber.” Upon his
entry, Alwin explains how uncomfortable he was as “the only
white guy" and "the only foreigner.”
...
Eventually, Alwin decides to ask to join a guest table through
Google Translate. After his request is accepted, he highlights
how he “ate so much food[,] fried food [...] we tried so many
different things and then obviously we drank together.”
...
On TikTok, user @queerlamp stitched his video and wrote: “I bet
you would not do this at a white american wedding if you came to
the US, you’re a french man who felt entitled enough to barge
into a vietnamese wedding, you ate their food that they bought
for their INVITED guests. Ofc no one invited you to their table,
YOU’RE A STRANGE MAN WHO INVITED HIMSELF TO A WEDDING.”
The sentiments are echoed by TikTok user @srirachalesbian, who
calls out the “entitlement of white men in Southeast Asia.”
Implying the history of French colonization in Vietnam,
@srirachalesbian states: “The way you people swear you’re not
like your ancestors (your literal grandparents) and then do sh*t
like this.”
The negative response to Alwin’s video also spread to Reddit,
where the video was uploaded to the subreddit r/VietNam and
r/ActLikeYouBelong.
“He’s not even acting like he belongs,” one Reddit user
commented. “He just bumbling about and mooching off politeness.”
In response, another commenter wrote, “Even worse, he’s taking
advantage of cultural differences in politeness. I think they
wouldn’t have felt like they could ask him to leave. Imagine
going to a wedding of a loved one, and looking forward to catch
up with your relatives – and then you have this **** using
google translate to comment on each mouthful he takes. Ugh.”
In another response to the Reddit post, a user offers a simple
solution: “‘I wasn’t invited, I didn’t really know what to do’
Leave you f*cking assh*le.”[/quote]
That the police weren't called on him shows how psychologically
colonized many Vietnamese still are.
Woke comments:
[quote]He was "uncomfortable" at a private event he wasnt
invited to? Am i getting that right? Dude has a serious case of
maincharacter syndrome.[/quote]
[quote]The levels of true, stage 4 oblivitardation are mind
blowing.
Is he looking for sympathy or something? He shows up to
something he isn’t invited to, worms his way in, makes it about
him and then laments how uncomfortable and out of place he
was.[/quote]
[quote]He basically stole from them. He took food and drinks
that were not given to him. Someone else paid for it. [/quote]
[quote]Well here we go again. Some content creator crashed an
event he was not invited to, nor had any business being at. Ate
food and drank from someone's tab, made the discomfort all about
himself. [/quote]
[quote]What gave him the right to do this. Why would he wish to
disrupt one of the most important days in some people's life.
It's all on him, No MORALS.[/quote]
Vietnam never invited France during the colonial era either:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Indochina
[quote]Fourteen French gunships, 3,300 men including 300
Filipino soldiers provided by the Spanish[5] attacked the port
of Tourane causing significant damage and occupying the city.
After fighting the Vietnamese for three months and finding
himself unable to progress further in land, de Genouilly sought
and received approval of an alternative attack on Saigon.[4][6]
Sailing to southern Vietnam, de Genouilly captured the poorly
defended city of Saigon on 17 February 1859. Once again,
however, de Genouilly and his forces were unable to seize
territory outside of the defensive perimeter of the city. De
Genouilly was criticised for his actions and was replaced by
Admiral Page in November 1859 with instructions to obtain a
treaty protecting the Catholic faith in Vietnam while refraining
from making territorial gains.[4][6]
Peace negotiations proved unsuccessful and the fighting in
Saigon continued. Ultimately in 1861, the French brought
additional forces to bear in the Saigon campaign, advanced out
of the city and began to capture cities in the Mekong Delta. On
5 June 1862, the Vietnamese conceded and signed the Treaty of
Saigon whereby they agreed to legalize the free practice of the
Catholic religion; to open trade in the Mekong Delta and at
three ports at the mouth of the Red River in northern Vietnam;
to cede the provinces of Bięn Hňa, Gia Định and
Định Tường along with the islands of Poulo
Condore to France; and to pay reparations equivalent to one
million dollars.[7][8][9]
In 1864 the aforementioned three provinces ceded to France were
formally constituted as the French colony of Cochinchina. Then
in 1867, French Admiral Pierre de la Grandičre forced the
Vietnamese to surrender three additional provinces, Châu
Đốc, Hŕ Tięn and Vĩnh Long. With these three
additions all of southern Vietnam and the Mekong Delta fell
under French control.[8][/quote]
NEVER FORGIVE. NEVER FORGET. It will only end when all French
colonialist bloodlines have been eliminated.

Paris unites: Thousands march in solidarity with Israel
following Hamas terror attacks
[quote]THOUSANDS of people marched in Paris after Hamas attacks
on Monday, October 09.
Many carried signs vowing solidarity with Israel. Chants were
heard during the protest, some of which directly condemned the
terror acts of the Hamas group, and others that served as a
beacon of hope amidst the conflict.
"Long live Israel! Israel will win!"
The early morning attack was unleashed into Israeli territory on
Shemini Atzeret - a major Jewish holiday.
More than 600 killed, thousands injured and many more missing,
feared dead.[/quote]

The Thailand-Cambodia Conflict is Expanding.
[quote]Thailand and Cambodia spiral toward all-out war as
nationalism, border clashes, and collapsing ceasefires drive
Southeast Asia into crisis. Civilians flee, armies escalate, and
global powers scramble to stop catastrophe.[/quote]
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKs1zgksKUY
Colonial background:
[quote][...]
The border dispute between Cambodia and Thailand originates from
ambiguities in the boundary demarcations established under the
1904 and 1907 agreements, which sought to define the frontier
between the Kingdom of Siam (modern Thailand) and the French
Third Republic in French Indochina, which included Cambodia.
These treaty maps and survey documents produced by
[shadow=red,left]French colonial authorities were often
imprecise,[/shadow] leading to overlapping claims over several
highland areas and strategic passes.
Following Cambodia's independence from France in 1953, the
sovereignty of the Preah Vihear temple complex became a focal
point of the dispute. The International Court of Justice (ICJ)
issued a ruling in 1962 awarding the temple itself to Cambodia,
citing historical maps and French survey documentation.[51]
However, the court did not clearly delineate the surrounding
territory, leaving the adjacent highlands, cliffs, and
approaches to the temple in a state of legal and military
uncertainty.
The dispute remained largely dormant until the late 20th
century, when both Thai and Khmer sentiments intensified the
sensitivity over border sovereignty. From 2008 to 2011, renewed
military clashes erupted, including artillery exchanges, patrol
skirmishes, and limited incursions, resulting in multiple
fatalities and injuries on both sides. These clashes underscored
the enduring volatility of the area and the challenge of
reconciling historical treaties with contemporary nationalist
claims.
Despite repeated skirmishes, the ICJ reaffirmed its 1962 ruling,
confirming Cambodian sovereignty over the temple complex.
Nevertheless, ambiguities in territorial limits and the absence
of a mutually agreed border demarcation continued to fuel
tension, making the region a recurring flashpoint for military
and diplomatic crises between the two nations. Analysts
emphasize that these disputes are intertwined with domestic
politics, historical memory, and the strategic value of the
highlands overlooking the Khao Phra Wihan National Park and
surrounding areas.

I also heard Napoleon reintroduced chattel slavery in the French
colonies to help sustain his empire. France claims to be a
republic yet can't seem to let go of its stolen land...
