France waged a "war" in Cameroon marked by "repressive violence" during and after the African country's decolonisation in the late 1950s, President Emmanuel Macron acknowledged in a letter published Tuesday. The letter, sent to his Cameroonian counterpart last month, is the latest example of France's efforts under Macron to come to terms with its often bloody colonial history. FRANCE 24's Yuka Royer reports.

"... looking at the roots of our wealth broadly, globally, and looking at the ways that we relate, especially in the field of global aid ... who's making decisions in that space and what are they for?
