May 2nd, Odessa: the cynicism of Merkel and Obama
Stephen Sefton *, May 9th 2014
Not even a week after the neo-nazi massacre in Odessa, on May 8th, President François Hollande placed a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Solider in Paris to commemorate victory in Europe over Nazi Germany 69 years before. May 8th will also forever mark the anniversary of the 1945 Setif massacres in Algeria when French security forces and settlers set out on a murdereous rampage killing over 40,000 Algerians.
