France’s Africa: A Story Of Modern Day Colonialism

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 26, 20220

The French Empire was one of the most powerful in human history. At its height, it controlled almost ten per cent of the world's land area. The country was a dominant global power from Southeast Asia to West Africa. And that was particularly true in Africa. France oversaw territory spanning 17 modern-day nations, from Morocco to the Congo. Under the banner of a "civilising mission," France managed brutal occupations that engorged the empire's wealth. It left a terrible legacy for ordinary Africans – marked by slavery, extraction, and murder. And today, France's empire in Africa is STILL around – in a streamlined, more profitable, and even more exploitative form. In the aftermath of the Second World War, a wave of decolonial movements swept across Africa and Asia. And the French –...

 French President Emmanuel Macron reshuffled his government on July 4 for the second time. The centrist ruling alliance lost in the parliamentary election. The president made significant changes to the positions at the top. This includes removing Damien Abad, the minister for the disabled, from the position due to the public pressure to remove him from power.

Infidelity Pleasure More Than Sin: France’s Paternity Test Ban To Ensue Societal Chaos?

Agamapar ChadhaJune 20, 20220

The paternity test checks whether a child is the father’s offspring and involves extracting blood from the father and the child. These samples are given to a lab for analysis to prove/disprove a man is a child’s father. These tests have an obvious way of being useful as a tool for examining genetic conditions. This data would help in times of medical crisis. Socially and financially, this test has many undertones with “absent fathers” paying child support to the previously helpless mothers, extra-marital affairs getting caught, and mothers not being able to claim fatherhood to take financial backing. France, however, stands apart from these implications by banning genetic testing altogether. Tests are performed under strict restrictions by the court’s orders in the circumstances ...
