In response to the “Stora Report” on the memory between the two countries
In response to the report presented last month by French historian Benjamin Stora to French President Emmanuel Macron, on how to work for the “reconciliation” of the memories of France and Algeria, which are still imprisoned by the “Algerian War of Independence” ( 1954 -1962), Macron yesterday issued a decision to lift the secret of the “Algerian War Archive”.
In a statement, the Elysee said that the rector “responded to the request of the university researchers to facilitate access to the archival documents, which are 50 years old, and decided to allow the administration of the archive tomorrow (today) to lift the secret of the documents covered by the National Defense secret ”, explaining that“ this decision will affect the reduction of waiting times associated with the procedures for lifting the secret, especially with regard to the war in Algeria.
It is expected that this step will be followed by other steps aimed at normalizing the relationship on both sides of the Mediterranean, and that they will be included in Stora’s “recommendations”. However, the Algerian side focuses on four main demands, which are: the reception of the entire Algerian archive, the recovery of the skulls of the leaders of the popular revolutions, the full disclosure of what France has carried out nuclear tests in the Algerian Sahara. , compensation for the victims of these experiments, in addition to the disclosure of the fate of the missing persons estimated by the Algerian authorities at 2,200 people.
