La Colonisation: French History of Death, Torture and Indescribable Violence in the Pearl of Its Evil Empire! Many Issues Arising From France’s Colonial Crimes in Algeria Have Still Not Been Resolved

— April 10, 2024 | RT

Every year, Algeria remembers the colonial crimes committed by France against the Algerian people. The North African country commemorates several such dates throughout the year: February 13 – the day of the first nuclear test, July 5 – Independence Day, November 1 – Revolution Day, which marked the beginning of the eight-year independence war of 1954-1962, and December 11 – the day on which mass demonstrations started in 1960, and were brutally suppressed by French troops.

Algeria’s colonial period lasted for over 130 years, but the nation didn’t give up on its dream of breaking free from colonial oppression. Algeria’s sovereignty was finally recognized in 1962. But independence was won with a great deal of blood. According to official Algerian data, about 1.5 million local residents died in the war with France (1954-1962), about one sixth of the country’s population at the time.

Addressing the people on the occasion of Independence Day in 2021, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune recalled that the French colonialists were responsible for the most cruel violence, murder, and destruction in Algeria. Historians estimate that from 1830 to 1962 the colonialists caused the deaths of over five million people, including those who died as a result of contamination from nuclear tests.

In the 1954-1962 war against the National Liberation Front (Le Front de libération nationale, FLN), the French used civilians as hostages and human shields. Historians have documented numerous cases when French colonialists exterminated entire villages. They resorted to electric shock torture, used wells as prisons, threw prisoners from helicopters, and buried people alive in mass graves which the victims were forced to dig for themselves. The European invaders used the most sophisticated and cruel methods of torture.

The Musée de l’Homme in Paris still houses 18,000 skulls acquired from dependent territories, of which only 500 have been identified, according to French media. Most of these skulls are not publicly exhibited. The skulls of several dozen Algerian resistance fighters have also been kept in the museum since the 19th century.

France’s colonial crimes affected not only people, but also Algeria’s cultural and historical heritage. During the occupation period from 1830 to 1962, the French transported hundreds of thousands of documents to Paris, including those related to the Ottoman period (1518-1830). Since gaining independence, Algeria has appealed to France to return the archive. But each time when this issue comes up, France says that according to its laws, the documents are considered classified and their disclosure is a threat to national security.

French Ontervention

The French invasion of Algeria in 1830 marked the beginning of the European country’s extensive colonization of Asian and African territories. The occupation process stretched on for several decades, as the local population put up an active resistance.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Algeria remained under the nominal rule of the Ottoman Empire, to which it regularly made tribute payments. However, the country retained much of its independence when it came to external political and commercial contacts. During France’s Italian and Egyptian campaigns (1793-1798) Algeria supplied Paris with wheat on credit. In the following decades, however, France refused to pay the debt, which resulted in major disagreements between the two countries.

In 1827, during one such dispute, Algeria’s Ottoman governor, Hussein Pasha, lost his temper and slapped the French ambassador Pierre Deval with a fly swatter (or a fan, according to other accounts). The King of France, Charles X, used this incident as an excuse to invade Algeria, believing that given the internal instability France was going through, an external military campaign could help rally society around the throne.

In the summer of 1830, a 37,000-strong expeditionary force from Paris arrived near Algiers and soon entered the city. Hussein Pasha capitulated. This victory did not help Charles X, who eventually abdicated, but the French remained in Algeria for the next 132 years.

Abd al-Qadir

Having occupied several Mediterranean ports, the Europeans decided to move inland, but at that point the local Arabs and Berbers, who had previously fought against the Ottoman Empire, put up strong resistance.

The anti-French movement was led by Abd al-Qadir, the son of the leader of the Qadiriyya, a local Sufi order. In November 1832, he was proclaimed as the emir of the Arab tribes in the west of the country, and united the local population in the fight against the French occupation. Abd al-Qadir was adept at managing territories and conducting guerrilla warfare, and fought against the invaders for 15 years. He became a legendary figure, and his fame spread throughout the Muslim world and Europe.

Abd al-Qadir was very popular among Algerians, since he was considered a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad (i.e. a Sharif) and a true ruler of the faithful. However, resorting to pogroms and the mass extermination of the local population, the French deprived him of the support of many military leaders and turned the course of the war in their favor.

The Algerians paid a heavy price for the resistance – hundreds of thousands died as a result of it. From 1847 to 1852, Abd al-Qadir remained in a French prison, after which he was released and went to live in exile in Damascus, where he died in 1883.

Algérie Française: No Rights For Locals

In the following decades, Algeria was actively colonized, and the colonial territory expanded south. By 1847, there were about 110,000 European settlers in Algeria, and by 1870 this number had doubled.

In 1848, Algeria was declared a territory of France and was designated as its overseas department, with a European Governor-General in charge. The locals became subjects (but not citizens) of France. After the Ottomans were ousted from Algeria and the Abd al-Qadir movement was suppressed, the French had to deal with several other major uprisings in the 19th century, the last of which occurred in 1871-1872.

By the beginning of the 20th century, the French had conquered lands stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to the Sahara. In the 1920s, over 800,000 French settlers resided in Algeria. Three provinces – Oran, Algiers, and Constantine – became French departments. They elected representatives to the French Chamber of Deputies, but only European settlers who backed the interests of Paris could take part in these elections. Algerians did not have the right to vote.

Economic Benefits

Economically speaking, the period between 1885-1930 is considered the golden age of French Algeria (and of the entire French Maghreb region). The country’s most important ports and cities were rebuilt and modernized and the agricultural sector was actively developed. Muslims had relative autonomy and retained their religious and cultural institutions.

The demographic boom, facilitated by European achievements in the fields of health and medicine, led to a threefold increase in the population, which reached nine million by the mid-20th century. Out of these, about a million were French colonists who seized about 40% of the cultivated land, which meant the most fertile land in the country belonged to them.

In other areas of life, there was also inequality between the locals and the colonizers. Local workers were paid less, and about 75% of Algerians remained illiterate. Despite these issues, however, peace lasted in the country for many decades.

Paris derived great economic benefits from its new territories. Algeria occupied a central place among France’s eastern possessions and its location was strategically important since the most convenient routes which connected France with its colonies in West and Central Africa passed through Algeria.

The largest and bloodiest massacre committed by France in a single day occurred on May 8, 1945, when hundreds of thousands of Algerians took to the streets to celebrate the end of World War II. When people started shouting slogans demanding independence, the colonial forces opened fire on the peaceful protesters. At least 45,000 unarmed demonstrators were killed that day.

Protests broke out in France as well, and were also brutally suppressed. October 17, 1961, went down in history as the day of the “Massacre on the Seine”, or the “Paris pogrom”. On that day, about 60,000 Algerians took to the streets of Paris, demanding an end to the colonization of their country. The French authorities again used firearms against peaceful protesters, many of whom were thrown into the River Seine. The death toll amounted to 1,500, while 800 people went missing, and thousands were detained.

However, this did not stop the national liberation movement in Algeria. In November 1954, an alliance of several political organizations formed the National Liberation Front (le Front de Libération Nationale), which headed the armed struggle for independence. Many underground guerrilla groups also sprang up that supported the sovereignty of Algeria. At the end of 1954, they all went into attack, and this marked the beginning of the Algerian War of Independence, which lasted until March 1962.

Paris sent additional military units to Algeria to fight the rebels. An estimated 500,000 to 1.5 million local residents and over 15,000 European servicemen died as a result of the hostilities, which lasted more than seven years.

France won the war on a tactical level, but suffered a political and reputational defeat – its actions drew sharp criticism from its own citizens and the world community.

After negotiations and the signing of the Évian Accords, Algerians held a referendum and almost unanimously voted for independence, which was officially proclaimed on July 5, 1962.

Demining

After the war, it was necessary to clear the territory of mines. Since Algeria did not have qualified sappers, it requested assistance from European countries (Italy, Sweden, and Germany), but they refused to help. Private companies could not solve the problem either.

It was then that the USSR agreed to help Algeria, free of charge. On July 27, 1963, an agreement was signed between the Soviet leadership and Algeria. Soviet specialists removed about 1.5 million mines in Algeria from 1962 to 1965.

Nuclear Tests

One of the greatest crimes against humanity was the testing of nuclear and chemical weapons of mass destruction, which was carried out by France from 1960 to 1966 in the Sahara Desert in Algeria.

The first nuclear explosion happened on February 13, 1960, near the town of Zaouit Reggani in southwestern Algeria and was codenamed “Gerboise Bleue”. This experiment launched the process that turned Algeria into France’s nuclear test site. The power of the nuclear bomb was estimated at 60-70 kilotons, which is about four times greater than the bomb dropped by the US on Hiroshima during WWII.

A total of 17 nuclear tests were conducted in Algeria, which led to the death of 42,000 Algerians. Many people became disabled, and the negative impact on the environment and the health of local residents is felt to this day. Algerian authorities are demanding that France hand over maps which show where the radioactive waste from these experiments was disposed of. But to this day, France hasn’t complied.

France Is Still There

France suffered a severe blow when it lost its largest African colony, from which it derived great economic benefit. To this day, many problems between the two countries have not been fully resolved, and echoes of imperialism are still evident in their relations.

Algeria wants France to officially admit its guilt, and take responsibility for the past events. However, in the past 60 years, Paris has never offered an official apology to Algeria, although some of its leaders made certain apologetic statements. Moreover, Algerian leaders often raise the issue of approving a bill which would criminalize the colonial policy of Paris.

After gaining independence, Algeria faced contradictory emotions – it wanted to put an end to its former dependence on France, but the well-established trade ties, the lack of experienced national government officials, and the military presence stipulated by the Evian Accords ensured the presence of France in Algeria. Moreover, Paris provided the necessary financial assistance and supplied Algeria with essential goods.

Things changed when Algerian authorities decided to nationalize industrial and energy enterprises in the late 1960s. France’s intervention in the Western Sahara conflict, in which it supported Morocco, and a stop in purchases of Algerian oil, which led to a trade imbalance in the late 1970s, further strained relations between the two countries. However, despite a decline in political relations, economic ties with France– especially those related to the energy sector – have remained strong throughout the history of independent Algeria.

Four Key Issues

In December 2018, Algerian Minister of War Veterans Tayeb Zitouni stated that there are four key issues (the so-called “memory file”) related to the era of imperialism: the archive of documents from the colonial and Ottoman periods, the skulls of resistance fighters which are stored in the Paris Museum, the file of people who went missing during the war of independence, and compensation for the victims of nuclear tests. Zitouni said that addressing these issues is key to ensuring normal relations between France and Algeria.

In 2020, French President Emmanuel Macron agreed to hand over the remains of 24 Algerian resistance leaders who were killed and then beheaded by French colonial troops prior to the November 1954 revolution. All of them were buried at El Alia cemetery in Algiers. Negotiations continue on the return of other skulls, the number of which is not specified.

In late 2021, new tensions sprang up between France and Algeria. In his days as a presidential candidate, Emmanuel Macron recognized the colonization of Algeria as a crime against humanity. Macron said this on February 16, 2017, during a trip to Algeria. Nevertheless, by the end of his first presidential term, the countries were on the verge of a new diplomatic crisis – Macron still had not made an official apology for the “mistakes” of the past.

On October 3, 2021, Algeria decided to “immediately recall” its ambassador to France. The reaction was a response to an interview by Macron, published in Le Monde, in which he stated that since gaining independence in 1962, Algeria has lived off “income from history” which is diligently guarded by the military and political authorities, and questioned the existence of the Algerian nation prior to French colonialism. The former colony was insulted by these words.

Soon, Algerian authorities took even stricter measures. The next day, Algeria banned French military planes from its airspace. This order is still in force. In 2023, the authorities declined France’s request to open Algerian airspace for French military aircraft heading to Niger, where a military coup had taken place – an event that seriously undermined France’s influence in the region.

In an attempt to improve relations with Algeria, Macron paid a visit to the country in August 2022 and signed a new partnership agreement with President Abdelmajid Tebboune, on cooperation in various fields. However, relations between the countries remain tense. Tebboune was supposed to respond with a similar visit on May 3, 2023, but it has been postponed. The reasons are the same – Algeria is still waiting for France to take action on a number of issues, which are all related to historical memory.

If the preppies had Twitter

HI GUYS I'M BACK!!!! Please excuse me for this long absence, I have just finished my exams. So I'm now available to post again regularly!!

A while ago I had thought about (it doesn't happen often so believe me when I say this lol) to make headcanons on a character but I didn't really know who to do and then came up with the idea of doing a "if the students of Bullworth Academy had twitter" so here is what it would look like for preppies:

Pinky Gauthier:

Popular Twitter

She tweets "Hello", she has 500 likes and 152 RT

Twitter is his diary

In her bio there is a link to her Instagram

Derby Harrington:

"Harrington never lose" in bio

Makes problematic tweets

He was suspended several times

Settles scores with Johnny in space every 4 mornings

Bif Taylor:

Defends Derby at all costs whenever he's in the sauce

His pinned is his thread on his favorite hip-hop and rap sounds

His PP (Profile Picture) is him with his Bose Championship belt

He blocked Jimmy after the latter displayed himself with the boxing champion's belt

Tad Spencer:

He has a private account on which he spits his hatred on Derby

He posts pictures of the pastries he makes in his free time

participated in Mister Twitter (I swear we had that in France lmao) but lost

blocked Cedric Grolet

Gord Vendôme:

Twitter with a lot of followers too

Hit-tweets because they're funny

Makes indirect comments on his crush so that the latter understands that Gord is talking about him (this is Vance)

Once he saw a picture of Jimmy in an "awful" outfit (he was the one who said it) he flagged the tweet for violent speech

Parker Ogilvie:

his tweet "WHAT DO YOU MEAN A FRIEND OF MINE DID SOME WEIRD THINGS WITH MY GARDEN GNOME????" it became an iconic tweet

"gnome stan account" in bio

A real ray of sunshine in the TL

More follows than followers but he doesn't care

Chad Morris:

Has put Chester in header

Rt tweets about animal protection

He and Ricky have blocked each other but insult each other's family trees in space

Has a private account where he likes Lola's tweets

Bryce Montrose:

Doesn't have time to go because he juggles classes, work and boxing

Justin Vandervelde:

Tries to make people laugh with his tweets but they flop

When there's a scuffle in space, it adds fuel to the fire

In his "likes" there are only tweets from Ted and the other preppies

His dream is for Ted to follow him back

La semaine dernière, Frédéric Aigouy, courageux journaliste indépendant qui a travaillé à RT jusqu'à sa censure, a posé une question (https://twitter.com/frederic_RTfr/status/1758102968648290692) sur l'acte de guerre de la destruction des gazoducs de Nord Stream. Aujourd'hui, on lui a refusé (https://twitter.com/frederic_RTfr/status/1760249721837261192) l'entrée à l'Élysée pour avoir la possibilité de poser une question sur l'aide de 3 milliards d'euros de la France à l'Ukraine pour 10 ans, qui fait de la France un co-belligérant. En principe, l'entrée est ouverte à tous les journalistes "dans la limite des places disponibles".

La censure au Macronistan devient totale, mais les pays occidentaux ont encore le culot de donner des leçons de démocratie (y compris après la mort de Gonzalo Lira et les années d'enfermement de Julian Assange pour le crime de dire la vérité).

[dors-ee]

Bonjour!

J'espère que tu ne m'en voudras pas de glisser un petit message dans ta boîte aujourd'hui!

Pour cette journée "Parle ta langue", je me demandais si tu aimerais nous présenter deux ou trois œuvres d'art françaises que tu apprécies particulièrement?

Evidemment, aucune pression ; ne réponds que si tu en as envie!

Je te souhaite une très belle journée!

Salut ! Aucun problème ! Art plastique j'admets préférer des peintres non français, en général. Après en littérature -j'ai fais une licence de lettres modernes- j'ai plusieurs auteurs que j'apprécie !

Albert Camus, du 20ème siècle, j'apprécie non pas seulement sa philosophie. La Peste est très poignant, une vraie histoire qui touche profondément. Caligula de ce dont je me souviens, pour quelqu'un qui n'apprécie pas plus que cela le théâtre, était assez agréable à lire. L'étranger, j'ai également bien apprécié, là aussi non pas uniquement pour la philosophie mais le personnage, l'histoire même. Camus était un romancier, même si j'ai l'impression qu'hors de France il est plus connu pour ses idées sur l'absurde.

À l'époque, jeune idiot en lycée, je n'accrochais pas mais maintenant des années après je dois citer Phedre de Racine. Je dois aussi citer Zola, Madame Bovary de Flaubert, et je n'ai plus le nom mais un truc obscur de fin 19eme. Je me souviens quand on a eu le nom en 1ere année de licence, puis lu le livre, tout le monde se demandait "mais c'est quoi ce truc?!". Mais j'en ai de bons souvenirs, ne serait-ce que pour l'étrangeté !

Pour Zola bien que c'était très laborieux à l'époque de le lire, jeune idiot en collège encore une fois, je reconnais aujourd'hui son apport. Et le fait qu'en vrai il est bien moins laborieux et ennuyant que Balzac! Quant à Madame Bovary je ne sais si je recommanderais de le lire. Il représente tellement bien l'ennui et sa souffrance à elle, ses aspirations, son ambition ses erreurs... Mais il est long et bien chiant soyons honnête. (Et c'est là qu'est son génie. Je trouve cela drôle).

En poésie j'apprécie Rimbaud, Les saisons, et autres je n'ai plus les noms exacts raaaaah, Baudelaire j'ai personnellement moins aimé, mais peut-être que c'était l'âge. Rimbaud me parlait plus. Jeune âme artiste torturé. Je me retrouvais dans ses élans émotionnels et élucubrations existentielles. Dans ses images surtout... J'adore ses images et son language.

J'ai perdu pas mal de références, je ne me souviens pas de tout... Donc je pense qu'il y en a plus pais ma mémoire me fait défaut.

Je citerai peut-être Antigone de Cocteau, là aussi mon idiotie de jeunesse me faisait le rejeter, mais il n'est pas si mal.

Maintenant, si tu permets, j'ai aussi lu des auteurs non français mais non anglais et certains j'aimerais en parler : Lampedusa et Le Guépard, très très intéressant et l'air de rien lui aussi peut aller assez en profondeur et faire réfléchir sur certaines choses. Il campe aussi la Sicile, à une certaine époque. Bien intéressant.

Zweig, magnifique, qu'en dire. Il est poignant, prenant, mais ausis exude un certain calme. Ce n'est pas le tumultueux Rimbaud, loin de là. Au contraire. Il n'est également pas aussi obscure et complexe que les russes. Et pourtant il parle d'émotions humaines, il donne des lessons qui touchent profondément rt marquent à jamais oserais-je dire. Je me souviendrai toujours de La Pitié dangereuse je pense. Ou de La confusion des sentiments. Ou de certaines de ses nouvelles.

J'ai aussi lu des auteurs russes, même si je ne sais si c'est vraiment une bonne idée d'en parler. Je dirais Dostoyevsky et Tolstoy sont... quelque chose. Chacun à leur manière. Mais Anna Karenina est lui aussi un de ceux qui restent en mémoire. Je n'aime pas Anna, ni Vronsky, ni son mari. J'aime Kitty et Levin, oh surtout Levin de ce dont je me souviens je pouvais tellement m'identifier à sa recherche de sens, son fonctionnement mental, ses pensées. Sa réponse était dans la famille la tradition et dieu... Mais je ne peux m'empêcher de penser et si ? Et si aujourd'hui ? Si il était un homme moderne avec tous nos philosophes ? avec les connaissances et diagnostiques...

A meek one, Crime et Chatiment de Dostoyevski m'ont marqué. Le grand inquisiteur... Mais bon Dois-je vraiment décrire Dostoyesvki ? Si vous avez des semaines à perdre à vous torturer et triturer les méninges je le recommanderais. Sinon... Je ne sais pas. Il apporte des choses évidemment mais il est si complexe !

Ah je pense à un dernier auteur français, plus un philosophe : Henri Bergson. Les philosophes ont tendance à m'énerver mais lui j'ai bien aimé.

Oh un dernier nom désolé ! Théophile Gautier (h ou sans h je ne sais plus. Les tags disent sans h donc sans h!). Bien pour des nouvelles ghotiques et fantastiques. (Je préfère largement à Maupassant je dois avouer. Jamais pu digérer Maupassant.)

Jeune j'ai apprécié quelques pensées sur l'art et le théâtre d'Artaud, et un peu de sa poésie. Mais je n'ai jamais pu pardonner son sexisme et sa misogynie. Je ne veux pas entendre l'qrgument "c'est son temps" pour lui. Si Monsieur était si spécial et un génie, il pouvait aller contre son temps non?

Oh non français... hum... celui qui a écrit la maison de poupée je crois... Icksen?

Bref je dois m'arrêter haha 🤣 (et retrouver le nom du gars avec sa torture ornée de gemmes oui celui qui était étrange et nous a tous questionnés en licence 1 haha).

Voilà j'espère que c'est ok haha !

Bonne journée à toi aussi ! Enfin, fin de journée si tu es sur la même timezone que moi !

(Je suis content d'avoir pu parler de littérature... je n'ai jamais terminé ma licence, dernier semestre non complété, et je suis maintenant perdu en psycho... La littérature me manque beaucoup. Donc c'est cool...).

Qonto (AKA Tonto, or Sidero in France) by Bandai, Tokyo, Japan (1980). Qonto is based on Tonto (penultimate photo) the robot from the Japanese TV series "Message from Space: Galactic Wars" (1978). Tonto (or Sidero) is described as, "a talking robot won by the heroes at the start of the series, he proves his abilities as a pilot. He has his own ship and is highly resourceful. The two yellow spheres on his chest are missiles [Yes really!]." The TV series is a spin-off from the film “Message from Space” (1978) featuring the Beba-2 robot (last photo). Coincidentally (?), in October 2008 the social media company Bebo used Ukraine's RT-70 radio telescope to send 501 messages chosen by users, called "A Message From Earth", toward planet Gliese 581c. In 2007, this was the first potentially habitable exoplanet ever discovered. Twenty light years distant, the message will arrive in 2028.

Sorry I'm uncultured and I found your post through tumblr's 'you liked simular posts' but who's gloob and what's plusplus??

Heya!

They are the TV networks that broadcast Miraculous in Brazil and Ukraine respectively!

For instance ML is broadcast by TF1 (kids program is TFou) in France, Disney Channel in the US, RTS (kids program is RTS kids) in Switzerland, Gloob in Brazil, Plusplus in Ukraine, etc.

We're talking a lot about Gloob and Plusplus because they tend to release episodes out of order - Plusplus is infamous for releasing the S3 finale before the episodes "Chat Blanc" and "Félix" were out worldwide, and they announced they'd release the S4 finale early last season while we were still missing a bunch of episodes - thankfully the episodes weren't ready and it didn't happen, but fans were angry when they announced they wouldn't respect the order.

Gloob is infamous for sharing too many spoilers and too revealing/spoilery trailers, and wanting to be the first TV channel to release ML episodes worldwide. So they'll do anything to be first, and if they aren't first, they'll do anything they can to ruin the experience for the fans, be it by sharing as many spoilers as they can, or releasing episodes widely out of order to make sure that the channels who respect the order won't release episodes before them.

The reason we're talking about them a lot lately is because this season the order is very important and there's been a consensus at the start that the channels would release the episodes in order. Gloob also said they'd respect that. The problem is that TFou, the French channel, released a few episodes first in a very short period of time (episode 4-5-6-7-8-9, while Gloob had released 1-2-3 first). TFou made the mistake of skipping episode 5 but it was released a week after - so it was annoying but not that big of a deal.

Gloob got angry that they weren't first to release all these episodes, so to ensure they'd be first next time, they've decided to break the consensus of respecting the order and released last week 2 episodes out of order: we had the first 9 episodes and they've decided to release episodes 12 and 18 on the same day, which breaks the order a lot. Tomorrow, they'll be releasing episode 16, continuing to ruin the experience for the fans (and for the Brazilian fans, because they haven't broadcast yet some earlier episodes). So people are rightfully angry with them hahaha

The reason we're talking about Plusplus is because some Gloob fans have accused the people who are pissed at gloob for releasing the episodes out of order of only being angry at Brazil. Which is obviously stupid and untrue as we're angry at the TV network, so we're reminding them that we were equally pissed off at Plusplus (so a Ukrainian TV network) when they released the finale early.

I hope that was a clear summary of who these TV networks are and the latest drama 😅

Scorpio represents deepness, mysterious, intuitive, and power-wielding dynamic in the core of their personality, sustainer, being able to apply profound powers of concentration to projects, and discovering hidden truths etc..

🍂Mars is the ruler of Scorpio itself so somewhere it's like a home to it. And Scorpio is feminine sign while mars a masculine. So these ppl are really balance'ly representatives of their both sides.

🍂Just like it's sister sign Taurus, scorpio also rules sensuality [I mean ofc it's rules genetials too], but more of hidden one. So these ppl usually have sexual tension 😳 around them. No doubt sex for these individuals are deep too.

🍂Hold grudges till death. Will take revenge on you. However they will attack you from behind only.💀 Even if you messed up, they won't show their rage rt then, but will wait for you to start falling to attack. So one thing I would like to say as remarkable is their patience 🙂 [for revenge only, otherwise these bitches don't know what that shit means. But they say the one who kbows hot to CONTROL the anger, they can acquire the world.] as well as their scheming mindset.

🍂Due to being the sign of secrecy, they might be into such things too.[detective, occult, even criminals have such placements]

🍂Scorpio is a fixed (water) sign, which means yes these ppl are emotional but won't show that and will stick by the ppl they believe in for quite a long time. Also this also motivates to stand by or are indurent to what they want too. As mars is what we want to acquire so this is really good placement to achieve what you want.
