France's colonial rule officially declared a crime by Algeria's parliament

Algeria's parliament has unanimously passed legislation declaring France's colonial rule a crime, marking a significant shift in the country's relationship with its former colonial power. The move comes after decades of tensions between Algeria and France over issues such as independence and human rights. Under the new law, French involvement in Algeria during the colonial era would be considered a criminal act. The legislation is seen as a major victory for Algerian nationalists who have long sought to come to terms with the legacy of France's colonial rule.
