At the end of World War II, the island of Taiwan, which had been occupied for 50 years by Japan, was handed over to China, ruled at the time by Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese Nationalist Party, the Kuomintang. But in 1947, the Chinese troops who landed on the island were met with rioting from the local population, whose living conditions were deteriorating. The ensuing crackdown turned into a massacre. So began the "White Terror", which lasted for 40 years.

Sixty years ago, on December 12, 1963, Kenya gained independence after 68 years of British rule and following a decade of deadly violence. Between 1952 and 1960, the Mau Mau rebellion was one of the bloodiest episodes in the country's history. This rebel group, mainly made up of members of the Kikuyu ethnic group, organised a campaign of sabotage and assassinations against the British settlers, claiming 32 lives. The rebels' aim was to recover the land and freedom that had been stolen from them by the British colonial authorities.
A third-generation Harki, Sarah decides she can no longer accept her family's silence about the painful past. By looking into the story of her Harki grandfather, who fought alongside the French forces against the pro-independence National Liberation Front during the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962), she respectfully but persistently attempts to break the wall of silence. This omerta exists within her own family, but also among members of the Harki community who were interned in the Bias camp in south-western France.

Some in Argentina have known about their family's dirty secret since they were very young. Others lived for decades without suspecting anything, until the opening of trials for crimes against humanity committed under the dictatorship. These trials began in 2009 and continue to this day. How do you shape your personality or rebuild your life when you discover that your own father is guilty of torture, rape and sometimes even murder? How do you coexist alongside children of the victims?
At its height in about 1750, New France, a vast French colony in North America, stretched from the St. Lawrence River in eastern Canada to Cajun country in present-day Louisiana in the south of the United States. But after France lost control of the territory to Great Britain in the Seven Years' War, the language of Molière came under immense pressure from Indigenous languages and American variations of English. Our correspondent went to meet those determined to keep the French language alive in Canada today.
