Algeria expects an apology over France's colonial occupation of the North African country, President Tebboune says

A woman cries by a coffin of one of the 24 Algerians at the Moufdi-Zakaria culture palace in Algiers, Saturday, July, 4, 2020.

"We have already had half-apologies. The next step is needed... we await it," President Abdelmadjid Tebboune said on Saturday in an interview with news channel France 24. In what has been seen as a thaw in ties, Algeria on Friday received the skulls of 24 resistance fighters decapitated during the colonial period.

Tebboune said an apology from France would "make it possible to cool tensions and create a calmer atmosphere for economic and cultural relations", especially for the more than six million Algerians who live in France.
