You Guys Should Start Blaming France For Refusing The African Francophones Their Freedom To Self Determination

[@carolhartley5982]

Habib: all previous Frenc colonies in Africa have been independent, self-governing for decades. I think the first was Algeria, back in the 50s, and yes, that did require a war, as did the independence of Vietnam, but I don't remember any others having to fight. Now they belong to L'Organisation international de la Francophonie, a largely cultural organisation. CAR is suspended at present, probably because of its long-term political instability. Usually, suspensions happen in the wake of a coup.

[@drowsy-fx8pc]

Huge difference between a strategical german army base and wagner group activities. Wagner and, therefore, Russia aims to use and/or abuse the land and its people. They want to extract the rare earth minerals they want the money. Germany does not plan on exploiting its allies. Russia aims to brainwash half of africa into an anti-western thinking. They want authoritarianism throughout africa, as russia as the defacto leader.
