Is it too early to start the discussion for the decolonisation of Morocco, Tunisia, Sudan and Ghana?
Or whether France is prepared to actually let its colonies go, instead of Decolonisation Through MOAR FRANCE!
OTL Decolonisation by years says we might be close and TTL the UN actually in cooperation to the Colonial Powers builds up to that, so there might be some being ready a little earlier:
Ah ok, hope they win though but might become like I mentioned at page 13.
Also we already worked on how it'll be divided.
I was thinking that we should support/mandate a democratic (and a bit secular) Iraq as it'll help keep a certain coup from happening... hopefully...
