France Acknowledges Role in Cameroon Independence Struggle

Imagine Cameroon, a country in Africa, wanted to be free from France a long time ago.

France controlled the area.

During the fight for independence, there was a lot of violence.

Recently, the French leader, Macron, admitted that France did some bad things during that time, like hurting people and even causing some leaders to die.

He said France was wrong.

Macron is now promising to help understand what happened by opening up old documents and working together with Cameroon to make things better and strengthen their friendship.

This is part of a bigger effort by France to own up to its past mistakes in other countries too.
