ICOAST-FRANCE-MILITARY-PENSIONS-COLONIES
Picture taken in Abidjan 19 December 2001 shows 72-year-old Jean Gnagbo Dogba, former caporal-chef of the French Army and president of the Ivory Coast association of veterans who fought the IndoChina war, posing in front of a war memorial. France said 27 September 2006 it is to raise the pensions of war veterans from its former colonies who fought in its armed forces to the same level as their French counterparts, lifting a four-decade freeze widely seen as unjust. The decision, announced by Veterans Affairs Minister Hamlaoui Mekachera, came the same day a new film highlighting the discrimination suffered by the troops from French-ruled Africa during World War II hit screens across the country.
