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.

"Decolonisation is sometimes presented, not as an attempt to resurrect the dispassionate search for knowledge, but as a rejection of the idea of objectivity, which is seen as a sort of heritage of colonial thinking.

[but]

One can reject universal truths without endorsing relativism."

@solarpunkpresents are there any Decolonizing Wealth Project folks active in the fediverse? Are there any ways we can help them use fediverse tools to support their work?

"... 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? We can think about philanthro-capitalism ... leveraging philanthropy to perpetuate a lot of the harm in our society."
