Algeria marks 60 years since end of French colonial rule

Description

As Algeria marks 60 years of independence from France we take a closer look at the deep diplomatic and social tensions that exist between the two countries. From the enduring pain over atrocities commited during colonial rule to calls for reform from within Algeria, the country has had a bumpy six decades and yet July 5, the official date of Independence still sparks a deep, if complex, sense of pride for many Algerians.
