French colonialism built permanent structures assuming endless occupation

Evidence

The structures built, the port facilities, the airdromes, the prohibition of the Arab language, often gave the impression that the enemy committed himself, compromised himself, half lost himself in his prey, precisely in order to make any future break, any separation, impossible. Every manifestation of the French presence expressed a continuous rooting in time and in the Algerian future, and could always be read as a token of an indefinite oppression. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 619 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
