Massacre de Thiaroye : Ségolène Royal appuie Diomaye Faye
Former French minister and presidential candidate Ségolène Royal has called on Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye on X (formerly Twitter) to demand that France undertake a full "duty of remembrance and reparation."
Ms. Royal, who was Minister of the Environment and a Socialist candidate in the 2007 presidential election, focused her message on the tragedy at Camp Thiaroye.
She recalled the heroism of the Senegalese Riflemen "forcibly mobilized" and the savagery of their execution in 1944 while demanding their pay. Drawing on the testimony of her military father, she denounced the "lack of respect shown them."
The former minister demanded that light be shed on: Thiaroye's archives, which must be sought, returned, or whose disappearance must be clarified; and the command process that led to the crimes.
Expanding the debate on reparations, Ségolène Royal also called for "the return of all cultural property stolen or purchased at low prices during the colonial era," believing that "nothing justifies this slowness."
