On January 20, 2021, historian Benjamin Stora released a report commissioned by the government of Macron intended to achieve a reconciliation of memories between France and Algeria. This article focuses on the report’s proposals concerning a disputed monument, the famous Ottoman cannon known as ‘Baba Merzoug’. Seized in July 1830, the month France invaded Algeria, and spoliated to Brest, France, it was transformed into a monument renamed ‘La Consulaire’. How does ‘statuomania’ animated by the erection of numerous war memorials operate in France and what is the symbolism of columns as memorializing monuments? Moreover, how does the Stora Report for Algeria compare with the prior 2018 Macron government-commissioned Sarr-Savoy Report that called for immediate restitution of sub-Saharan artifacts housed in French museums?
