Last update: 11 hours agoSlavery Law Overhaul: France’s National Assembly voted 254-0 to repeal the Code Noir (Black Code), the 1685 decree that treated enslaved people as “movable property” and governed slavery across colonies, with the bill now heading to the Senate. Reunion & Indian Ocean Angle: The Code Noir’s reach included French Indian Ocean islands such as Réunion, tying today’s legal cleanup to the island’s colonial economic history. Diplomacy Watch: A tentative 60-day U.S.-Iran cease-fire extension is being discussed, with the Strait of Hormuz and renewed nuclear talks in focus—important for trade routes that also affect the Indian Ocean region. Regional Strategy Op-Ed: A new analysis argues India-France cooperation in the south-western Indian Ocean matters more as China’s footprint grows and security risks shift beyond the Gulf of Aden. Local Business/Community Note: A Reunion-linked cultural thread appears in coverage of France’s overseas territories and their economic stakes, including how policy and history shape current development priorities.
