The country that committed genocide as long ago as the 1950's doesn't like people to look introspectively at the link between race and religion and the normalised bigotry in society.
I presume he’s referring to the massacres in Sétif and Guelma in 1945 - which did not constitute a genocide (regardless of what Algerian nationalist mythographers say) and have also been acknowledged and apologised for by the French government.
Why he didn’t mention the utterly malignant role of France in supporting the perpetrators of the Rwandan Genocide, on the other hand, is beyond me.
