SENEGAL-FRANCE-MILITARY-PENSIONS-COLONIES
Senegalese former sergeant Ousmane Kasse shows his medals at his office in Dakar 27 September 2006. France said today 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.
