France has finally admitted its part in the violent repression of independence movements within Cameroon during its colonial era.
A joint historical investigation, culminating in a detailed report, revealed France's role in the decades-long conflict.
This acknowledgment of French colonial atrocities, though significant, lacks a formal apology or concrete proposals for reparations.
The report's findings mark a crucial step towards reconciliation but leave many questions unanswered regarding justice and healing.
