Hey Jean-Xavier! I get the feeling (but could be wrong) the movement is pretty much aligned with the ideals of other more left-wing national liberation struggles. My question is, is this correct and if so are there right-wing elements and are they included in the struggle or how is the interaction between different ideological factions in corsica? Are there any other positions for the future that go beyond independence/autonomy in the broader movement? Thanks!

It's nice to see that some people in Britain are interested about our situation.... As a Corsican, I can say the current issues are deeper than that. And currently, it's more about autonomy than independence... Which makes a huge difference for the local social and political "spirit" if I may say. The French government have been ignoring the Corsicans voice, needs and recommendations for too long.

Thank you!! I’ve been following the situation in Corsica since early 2014 and it’s about time it got some media attention.

[@akesitonsi]

There's so much stuff that doesn't add up in the Yvan Colonna case. The weapon used for the assassination was a handgun, of the type that is essentially ubiquitous and fairly hard to trace in Corsica, except it was identified as a police weapon stolen from an earlier attack on a gendarmerie station. Claude Erignac, the victim, was seen as a relative moderate not necessarily opposed to autonomy, and was followed by a Republican hardliner. An iconic defense lawyer from the trial was later assassinated, and another fell from a window. Colonna was allegedly killed for blaspheming the prophet Muhammad, except a Muslim former cell mate of his says that's got to be bullshit. There's a lot of things that are seriously weird.

[@akesitonsi]

On the other hand, we know what a French false flag looks like, because the next guy tried one, and it's just ridiculously incompetent. The cops set a restaurant on fire, but they left tanks stamped with the gendarmerie's logo and radios still tuned to police frequencies. I'm not sure they're legitimately competent enough for an inside job.

[@dj_stalinounox8282]

We have a lot of jihadists in jail, and Corsicans are especially hostile to radical Islam. The FLNC even sent death threats to ISIS back in the days. So the official story quite makes sense to me though it's obviously not something bad to question it

[@Uhoh11111]

As a Muslim, an islamist from Cameroon, captured in Afghanistan, for doing terrorism against Americans, and kept in french prisons, with political prisoners, is the most bullshit Macroni-thing you can make up. Literally how? A camerooni being in Afghanistan? Why captured by french in their prisons if the man was American that he attacked? Literally where is the footage? It sounds so much like Epstien it's insane how they think that a person can be choked so easily, they take 10-30 minutes minimum and make ton of noise, no guards? No other inmates? No video footage? How are they expecting anyone to swallow this down?

Franck Elong-Abe is French of camerons origins, that's why he was sent back to French jail. Though there are serious concerns about the rising numbers of jihadists and mentally ill/crazy/psychopaths in French jails, living along normal inmates. That's a problem that administration doesn't properly treat, and result in the spreading of their heinous ideology and aggressions, pressions on other inmates.

Hi, thanks for your work about our concerns and our fight, you clearly did better than any other French media! I was at almost every protest and Bastia clearly was the most violent. Now that Yvan has died yesterday, time is now for recollection and mourning. We'll be in peace until his funeral, no politics and no violence inbetween. Few people know what possibly could happen next, but we're entering a time of uncertainty and we'll probably be writing a new page of our History, with a capital H, and we'll be there to write it. Thanks again for your great work of journalism. (By the way, I'm currently studying English in Corte so if you need someone to translate or interpret don't hesitate!)

My French used to be good, but if you don’t speak a language for long enough then you lose it, plus it’s Canadian French anyway so I don’t know how well it would be accepted. I’ll be in Corsica eventually, so I will most likely need someone good with both languages. If you want to stay in touch, I can give you my email, but also know that my arrival on the island won’t go unnoticed (and by that I mean you’ll know when I’m there).

Being French myself, I believe they should get a referendum on whether or not to get independence. However, the murder of Yvan Colonna has quite nothing to do with that. Sure he was an independence fighter, but he didn't die for that reason, he died simply because a clash erupted between him and a j*hadist prisonner. Both Corsicans and Macron are picking the case up for electoral goals but it doesn't make quite sense, I mean, he was not shot or beaten to death by the prison guards, France made its best to keep him alive during 3 weeks. The real matter behind his tragic death would be the influence of jihadist salafism in our prisons. #FreeCorsica though and thanks for this great documentary, great job as always
