Macron admits French ‘repressive violence’ in Cameroon decolonisation ‘war’

France waged a « war » in Cameroon marked by « repressive violence » during and after the African country’s decolonisation in the late 1950s, President Emmanuel Macron acknowledged in a letter published Tuesday. The letter, sent to his Cameroonian counterpart last month, is the latest example of France’s efforts under Macron to come to terms with its often bloody colonial history.
