"I know, from my experience in Africa, France and elsewhere, that this anger is the painful and perhaps violent expression of a feeling of humiliation after all that has happened to us, of seeing our tragedies and our deaths treated differently. It also represents the humiliation felt after Nicolas Sarkozy's speech in Dakar. Fixating on an anti-French sentiment created and maintained by Russian propaganda is yet another way of telling us that we are incapable of thinking for ourselves and of revolting."
