AFRICA STORIES: BENIN REPUBLIC HUMILIATES MACRON

For those who have been reading me for a while, you will recall that I have often spoken of the anger that most Francophone African countries harbour towards France. After colonial rule, France has through its policy of FrancaAfrique continued to meddle in the affairs of its ex-colonies.

French paratroopers overthrew the government of Jean Bindel Bokassa in Central Africa Republic (CAR) in 1979.

France funded separatist rebels on the sovereign country known as the Comorros Islands, forcing neighbouring Senegal and other countries to send their military forces to put down the French-backed rebellion in 2006.
