Nah if Chad throws off the shackles of French neocolonialism then it will

[@Hsalf904]

Something that wasn’t mentioned here is WHY there is growing anti-French sentiment. Many Sahel residents resent French control and influence over their economy and politics, which many scholars have linked to continued economic underdevelopment, poverty, and conflict in the region.

[@BlueIvory4]

French neo-colonialism in Africa is really something. You can see it in the difference in wealth between former British colonies and ‘former’ French colonies

[@cxzact9204]

The problem with that theory is that most African countries suffer from "continued economic underdevelopment, poverty, and conflict" and the rest are not under the influence or control of France.

[@BlueIvory4]

@@cxzact9204the difference between those not under French influence is huge. We can’t compare Nigeria and Ghana to any of the other Francophone countries in West Africa. There’s simply no competition

[@finiavanamandresy5460]

not only in the Sahel region, it's in every ex-French colony in Africa (Algeria, Madagascar, Comoros, DRC). Talk to people from those countries and they will all tell you the same thing. The only differences are the absence of French troops and of the CFA Franc. France messed up its foreign policy with its ex-colonies from the get-go, instead of granting those countries full independence and treating them as any other strategic partners, she kept supporting favorable corrupt dictators, effectively making them satellite states. The overdue fall of the neocolonial French empire is finally happening and I'm all in for it!!! Reminds me of the fall of the USSR. It was about time.

[@finiavanamandresy5460]

@@cxzact9204 the fact that France propped up corrupt dictators in those countries sure didn't help. And one thing I noticed is that the French will always be ready to criticize US foreign policies while doing the exact same things.

[@cjshow-zp6nh]

It’s interesting that the recent coups in Africa mostly happened in African countries which were former French colonies. And when I heard about Francafrique and how France managed to make these countries subservient to France in terms of economy, foreign interests that makes these countries mostly reliant on France and even make these countries pay a type of tax to France and even their CFA Francs are all printed, distributed and controlled by France and thus, making these countries incapable of improving in terms of infrastructure, basic needs, healthcare, education and etc. And these coups are most certainly have to do with the fact that the leaders have to abide by the status quo of this Francafrique system and thus also breeds high level of corruption among the elites of these countries and these Junta leaders are trying to break that status quo and tell France to leave them alone.

[@themac9677]

The most reasonable response on here

[@FarsightAE]

France pay interest to CFA countries, there's no tax to France and none of them are forced to stay in CFA. France has also voted to end CFA and put the ball in ECOWAS' hands to end the CFA. If you want to see whats the reason behind the coups then look at who moves in right after there's a coup: Wagner aka Russia. Every single coup has russian backing and wagner mercs move into the countries right after. Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger etc, all have russian presence now.

To be honest, it is long overdue. There is an ethnic and sectarian division between Northern Chd, mainly inhabited by Arabs and Arabized Africans, Eastern Chad whose people are Muslim but have ethnic identities much like Sudan's Darfur and Southern Chad where Chad's largest ethnic group, the Sara who are Christian live. Point of contention: Chad's government is almost exclusively Zaghawa from Eastern Chad and a few Northerners but all their revenue from oil comes from the Christian majority Southern Chad. Southerners have been locked out of power via both genocide( The Northerners and Easterners came to power and killed off educated Southerner men who had ruled Chad up to that point. It is one of those overlooked, highly targeted genocides) and because they are a minority at 44% even though the Sara as an ethnic group are the largest ethnicity, the Northerners and Easterners simply band together against the Sara and other Christianized tribes in Southern Chad. If given a chance, Southern Chad would most likely merge with the CAR and Southern Sudan, but that would mean a collapse of Chadian society given that it lives off Southern oil.
