Pieds noirs and harkis turn July 5 into « catastrophe memory”

Groups of pieds noirs (French colonists of Algeria) and traitors, who have been deported from the country, began organizing huge events including 17 French towns choosing next Saturday the fifth of July, Algeria’s Independence and youth Day.

• On the other hand, they decided to commemorate that day in the other side of the Mediterranean Sea to express sadness and sorrow because of loosing Algeria in the past.
• The organizers tried to devote the fifth day of July as a “memory of catastrophe” among the French. Harkis (Algerian soldiers in the French colonising army during the independence war) are seeking to fight what they call “forgetting” the past, especially massacres.
•  They allege that French people who used to live in Algeria were victims of this kind of massacres after the March 19th ceasefire in 1962. They also did not forget those killed in the revolution or “Algeria’s war”.
• In a move to give a national aspect to this occasion, the organizers chose many French cities and towns, including Paris the capital, Marseilles, Lyon, Toulouse, Perpignan, Toulon, Vance, Cannes, Besier, Grenoble, Exe en Province, Nime, Caneaux en province, Locani, Amien and Angire…in addition to other towns overseas such as Nomia city, which was capital colony of New Caledonia. Countless number of Algerians were exiled there during the colonization.
• Many associations which cell themselves “Algerians French” are working on this event including North Africa French associations and their friends, traitor members of many private associations.
