Algeria is a former colony of France.

Mr. Macron has however agreed to take initiative to improve the relation between France and Algeria.

France is a very powerful country in the continent of Europe. Unfortunately, the depressing colonial part of France is still haunting the country.

The police officers who were featured in the video which led to the agitation have been charged with charges of intentional violence by a person holding authority.

The French government deserves special appreciation for the way it has reacted to the issue of police brutality.

It is high time to bring in a law to reform security forces. The leaked video, which triggered the protest, proves if the law is not reformed it is easy for the police to take law in their hand.

Canadian PM expresses solidary with people of France

By 508 0

Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of the North American country of Canada, has expressed solidarity with the people of France, which suffered a terrible terror attack in the recent past.

The Canadian Prime Minister has spoken to his French counterpart, President Emanuel Macron, in connection with the matter. He has expressed his country’s support.

French recently faced severe criticism from the Arab world as it pledged its support to the right to caricature.

The recent terror attack has a connection to the right to caricature. It was to suppress the right to caricature that the attack was carried out.

Certain countries in the Arab world such as Turkey even directed its citizens to boycott goods produced in France.

The support France has been offered by the North American superpower of Canada is thus very crucial.

What the latest development indicates that like the Arab world has united against the right to caricature the liberal west has united for the right.

It seems that the development may create a huge rift between the liberal world and the conservative world.

The attitude of the superpowers towards this issue is crucial. It is the one which can determine the course of the present development.

By 446 0

Severe protests have been organised in numerous Muslim countries across the world, in protest against French President Emanuel Macron’s statement that he will do everything possible to protest the right to caricature.

The French President’s statement came in response to a brutal attack in which a teacher was brutally killed after he had showed an extremely liberal caricature.

It was Turkey that came with a strong statement against France at first. Turkey even advised its citizens to boycott goods produced in France.

The anti-France protests have happened in almost every prominent Muslim country. The protests have been organised even in some liberal Muslim countries. In certain conservative Muslim countries such as Pakistan, the protests have turned violent. In Pakistan, the protesters have even tried to march towards the French Embassy situated in Islamabad. As many as 2000 people have participated in the protest that has been organised near the French Embassy in Pakistan. The protesters have confronted the police, and the latter have used force against the former to disperse them.

Similar protests have occurred in Palestine and Bangladesh.

Anyway, it is less likely that France reverses its decision to protest the right to caricature.
