EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - "The Raising of the French Flag at Timbuktu (Mali)". Taken from Le Petit Journal, February 1894, this engraving by Frederic Theodore Lix showcases the occupation of Timbuktu by French soldiers during the late 19th century. The image portrays a scene filled with tension and power dynamics. In the foreground, we see a group of soldiers proudly hoisting the French flag atop a fort, symbolizing their conquest and establishment of an empire. Their uniforms exude authority as they stand tall against the backdrop of Timbuktu's landscape. This photograph offers us a glimpse into Africa's complex colonial history. Timbuktu, once renowned for its intellectual and cultural heritage, became subject to European colonization during this period. The presence of these soldiers raises questions about power struggles and imperialism on African soil. Through this photo print, we are reminded of how historical events shape our present reality. It serves as both a reminder and an invitation to reflect upon the impact that colonialism had on nations like Mali. As we observe this powerful image captured over a century ago, it is crucial to acknowledge its historical significance while also considering its relevance in today's world where discussions around decolonization continue to gain momentum.
