 How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. Walter Rodney 1973
Colonialism was a negation of freedom from the viewpoint of the colonised.
Colonialism increased the dependence of Africa on Europe in terms of the numbers of persons brought into the money economy and in terms of the number of aspects of socio-economic life in Africa which derived their existence from the connection with the metropole.
In the little-known Spanish colony of Guinea (Rio Muni), the small amount of education given to Africans was based on eliminating the use of local languages by the pupils and on instilling in their hearts ‘the holy fear of God’.

According to (A republic in western Europe; the largest country wholly in Europe) France, in 1962 there were 236,000 Algerian Muslims fighting for the French army; some estimates suggest that, with their families, they may have numbered as much as 1 million, but 400,000 is more commonly cited.
As Algeria was part of France ("Departements") and not a colony, and all had French citizenship, many muslim Algerians enrolled in the Harkas during the Algerian civil war as they considered the independentists as terrorists.
However, at Independence, all guarantees were given by both signatories of the cease fire ("Accords d'Evian" signed by France and the Algerian GPRA), that no one, Harki or Pied-Noir would suffer any reprisal after independence for any action during the civil war.

Puzzled and alarmed, shaking his head ruefully as he recalled the carouse of the silent, he hobbled down the mountain as fast as he might for the grip of the rheumatism on his knees and elbows, and entered his native village.
They brewed a liquor that had the effect of shortening the bodies and swelling the heads of all who drank it, and when Hudson and his crew visited the mountains, the pygmies held a carouse in his honor and invited him to drink their liquor.
For a long time after he was buried it was the habit of this gentleman to crawl from his grave at unseemly hours and gallop about the country, sending shivers through the frames of many worthy people, who shrank under their blankets when they heard the rush of hoofs along the unlighted roads.
