  • The French bombing of a Tunisian town in 1958

    The French bombing of a Tunisian town in 1958
    Feb 11 2025
    The bombing of a Tunisian town that escalated internationally, part of the history of colonialism in North Africa. For two months in 1958, a small Tunisian town became the centre of a major international incident that resounded from North Africa to France, the US and the United Nations. It started with the French bombing of Sakiet Sidi Youssef on February 8, 1958, during the Algerian War of Independence. Sakiet is close to the Tunisian border with Algeria. There were refugees from the war there and it was also a border crossing point for Algerian fighters. The attack killed at least 70 and injured about 100. France claimed it was targeting a base of Algerian resistance fighters but journalists visiting the scene found only flattened homes, a marketplace and a school. The attack strained Tunisia-France relations, amplified international condemnation of France's colonial policies and moved the Algerian War onto the global stage. It was a key moment in the history of French colonialism in North Africa.

  • Israeli far-right proposals on West Bank’s treatment like Gaza should be taken ‘seriously’

    Israeli far-right proposals on West Bank’s treatment like Gaza should be taken ‘seriously’
    Feb 11 2025
    Israel’s military operations in the occupied West Bank might not be at the same level of intensity as in Gaza during the war, but comments from top government ministers such as Bezalel Smotrich to apply the same methods should be taken seriously, says an analyst. “It might be just rhetorical, but we should take it very seriously,” Yossi Mekelberg, a senior consulting fellow at Chatham House, told Al Jazeera. “The far right [has] disproportionate influence within the government, they represent the settlers, and the idea of annexation and probably also the ethnic cleansing in Gaza and in the West Bank. We need to take it seriously.” Mekelberg noted that while the situation in the West Bank was already bad before October 7, 2023, it has worsened during Israel’s war on Gaza. “When there is talk about expelling most of the Palestinians from Gaza, it also enhances those among the far right, the settler movement that believes the same should happen in the West Bank,” Mekelberg said.
