The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

This is a huge step towards finally honoring soldiers who fought for France, but who were betrayed and lost their lives after performing military service. After many years of denial, it is significant that the truth is finally widely known and that the memories of these men are being honored.

Establishment-critical narrative

France is the perpetrator of this massacre and it is not up to them alone to decide what the truth of the massacre was or what reparation the victims deserve. The way in which the massacre is memorialized and the victims honored should be a decision made in partnership with the African nations they came from.
