Sixty years on, Algerian desert region still struggles with effects of French nuclear tests
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 май 2021
- In February 1960, France carried out its first nuclear test in the Algerian desert, codenamed "Blue Jerboa". Three more atmospheric tests and 13 underground tests followed, until 1966. The consequences for humans and the environment were disastrous. More than 60 years on, the after-effects are still visible and the victims of nuclear tests are struggling to be heard. FRANCE 24 reports from both sides of the Mediterranean: with former French conscripts who performed their military service in Algeria and are trying to receive compensation, and Algerians, who feel abandoned to their fate.

@ laughtersweptoverthetable1259 in South Africa they did the same test on our black people and they are hidding the results from the public
France24: See this sad state of condition due to our nuclear tests.
BBC: Watch these countries struggling after the end of peaceful British Colonial Rule, that had left the country more modern than London.
I'm from Algeria I ensure thousands of people were exposed to nuclear bombs _ the number of nuclear tests in the sahara exceeded 50 tests
yup
and 170 tests in French Polynesia
Correction : 190 tests in French Polynesia I just checked
100 open air and over 900 underground teat in Nevada usa
And the fallout from all that spread eastward across America

Wow the US must really hate its population
France's treatment of their former colonies is an evergoing shame.
That would be most of the countries of Africa that now have massive problems due to the French colonial legacy and the French mentality even to the point that in countries like Mali getting anything done for the population requires a phone call to the French companies or authorities in Paris rather than being done in Bamako or Timbuktu.
@Fellwinter not only France . You must also include the western and southern Europe with all Babylon nations
That's the wickedness of colonization.
Algeria should be allowed to do nuclear bomb tests in France, and their defense minister can assure everyone that all is well.
Nothing in the desert. Who cares?
Lmao you wish
Its not even their land
Its moroccan sahara that france stole from morocco to give to algeria and test nuclear weapons
Heartless France 😡😡😡😤😤😤🤬🤬🤬
Lol usa in Nevada
@@nighthawk6755 no on japan and DU in irak hehe
French history is almost as despicable as British and American history.
Yes but at the time, the way of thinking was different
@@gokalzetop4183 tell that to the lybians, Syrian, Palestinians etc
@volklied inventions of Muslims and arab immigrants such as Belgacem Haba and Steve Jobs.
@volklied 🔥🔥🔥
Continue to show the dirt France has France24. Not to appeal to hate, but to show enough character to look at the wrong done in the past and be willing to do better. 😁
And France achieved what exactly?
Knowing our nuclears work
@@joshr24 Any Componsition for Algeria
@@ruhulamin9513 yes they compensated the victims who were exposed to it
@@joshr24 why are you lying??
@@prenom8793 I'm not
The nuclear tests couldn't have been carried out in France, huh? I see that the French victims of radiation are being compensated expeditiously. What does Paris have to say about reparations being paid to former African colonies? Aren't the Central Banks of these former colonies still run by the Banque de France? How many billions in taxes and premiums have been paid to France that could have been beneficial to these African economies? No wonder you show up with aid and grants to pacify the African people.
Well like how US put to Honduran instead of providing vaccine said "we provide Honduras with something that much more valuable - democracy".
Algeria should just be happy to have such a valuable gift from France instead of harping on irrelevant and unimportant issues such as reparations.
Same for Honduras, the friendship of US and democracy provided by US are God gifts. Shut up and start burying your deaths.
@@wongcy713 so you are saying Algerians should just forgot everything the french did to it
Including people who suffer from radiation everyday in the saharas?
Like literally if it happened in a European country every one wil speak about it
@@wongcy713 I hope that you are ironical
@@wongcy713 stop trolling
@@bingchilling994 that the reply I looking for . Citizens of nations colonized and or exploited by Western European need fire in their bellies and start DEMANDING REPARATIONS.
L'Algeria attende le riparazioni
the french people didnt d nothing. its always the military.
dont go to the army
🙄 When You are Evil Blame other for your Mistake
bro its not about french people or even military men, its about the higher ups
We had this here, too. Military and civilian populations exposed, some on purpose, both in the Marshall Islands, and in the US itself (Downwinders). Murder.
You mad bro?
WTF
Yes bro
bien sur sa parle toujours des autre, l'irak hawai le japon on en parle ?
Same liars
The only reason the french approach this topic is because they need immigrants to do the menial work. If you ignored it any immigrant might ask 'your country nuked my country'. But with these propag er I mean documentaries the french can say 'see we're sorry for what we did now get back to cleaning our toilets'. Was this too on the nose? I know manipulative tactics when I see them.
during chernobyle crisis when the cloud passed on south france the gouvernment said there was no risk, now the montains of the Alpes are expelling radiocative waste and cancer rate is up and no respond from the gouvernement since 1986.
Enjoy it
Wonder why they getting attack today chicken come home to roost
France has to pay the price this is a catastrophe
France won't,
Till we stand up and rape it ourselves.
No cuz this was a part of France
and usa for irak ? iran ? venzuela ? haiti ? hawai? JAPAN ?!
@@nighthawk6755 HAHAHAHHA FRENCH RIOTSSSS FRANCE IS NORTH ALRGERIA SMALL NATION
Just like American downwinders
And yet they still think morocco is the enemy
No body think morocco is the enemy
France has and always will be the enemy
France has always been the enemy of the Algerian Nation.
No wonder Algeria value independence.
Anyone messing with our souveraineté is an ennemy and shall pay the price
you will pay for this soon
