The Guardian: France is reaping the consequences of decades of its misdeeds in Africa
A report published by the British newspaper The Guardian has confirmed that France is currently reaping the results of decades of interference in the internal affairs of its former colonies in Africa, which has been accompanied by the reputation of commercial greed and the desire to gain personal interests at the expense of the interests of African countries.
The newspaper added that French President Emmanuel Macron tried to fix what could be changed to maintain his country's influence in Africa, but without success, including recognizing France's bad and dark history in Africa, and asking for forgiveness in Rwanda after Paris was involved in the killing of nearly one million Rwandans in the 1994 genocide.
The Guardian has said that several regimes in African countries have resorted to Russia and the Wagner group for many years to stop French influence, such as the Central African Republic, which invited the Wagner group 5 years ago, whose soldiers ensure security for the government and benefit from gold, diamonds, timber and money.The British newspaper has written that: A similar situation was also repeated in Mali, when a call was made to withdraw French military forces, immediately after the 2020 revolution, and then Burkina Faso, which asked France to withdraw its forces following last year's revolution .
Then it was the turn of Niger, which was recognized as one of the safest and most peaceful countries in the Sahel region, where the soldiers who made a coup have expelled the French ambassador in the country and asked the soldiers of that country, whose number is estimated to be 1,500 soldiers, to write in Niger.The British newspaper has concluded that, it was clear that the problem of the new administration of Niger is France, as it has not asked the forces of Germany or Italy to leave the country.
