I don't think it's all that relevant who was there first, who runs the country.......
It is those who run the country that are responsible for the treatment of the refugees so yes it is relevant. Trying to place blame for the current situation on the French, as Carroll is doing, is specious at best, smacking of an agenda at worst when the country has not been under French rule for fifty six years. So, yes let us direct our condemnations against those responsible.
