Exactly 60 years ago, the Évian Accords were signed, ending the Algerian War of Independence. For almost eight years, French colonial forces and Algerian independence fighters had been locked in a bloody conflict, but in March 1962, a ceasefire was agreed and in July of that year, 130 years of colonial occupation finally came to an end. Our guests discuss what this means today, where Algeria is going and the shadow still cast by Algeria's colonial past.
