I would not be French had France not come to my grandparents and father first. There was no referendum, no niceties about the colonial project, which is still heralded as a great civilising entreprise. Our existence is bound to each other, this is also a colonial byproduct.

Many of my UN friends love this famous quote from Dag Hammarskjöld as an embodied raison d’être: “The United Nations was not created in order to bring us to heaven, but in order to save us from hell” — the mantra feels good maybe, except we ARE in hell and there’s no going back.
