Parables

In October 2001, the national football teams of France and Algeria faced off in a long-awaited, and (at least in principle) "friendly" international game at the Stade de France in Paris. The event was trumpeted as an opportunity for reconciliation, a symbolic end to the conflict between the two countries, and an opportunity for a French nation increasingly shaped by it's Algerian immigrant population to find peace within itself.
