If you want to learn more about the rise of terrorism in the Sahel region and the French military intervention into Mali, I uploaded an entire video focused on that darker subject to Nebula here: nebula.tv/videos/reallifelore-modern-conflicts-french-intervention-in-mali In addition to my monthly Modern Conflicts videos on Nebula, I'm also posting monthly videos to Nebula in my new series called War Room, which provides monthly updates from active conflicts happening all around the world. The first episode of this new series can be seen here: nebula.tv/videos/reallifelore-war-room-february-2024 Thanks!

Okay man, I know that what I will write won't be well received in the comments, but please listen to me. I'm not a french troll or a french nationalist (far from it even), but since I'm working in this fields I must say that I am really disappointed with this video. You talked about Françafrique (which is good) but then vomited all the basic stupid russian propaganda that you could find on this subject. No nuance, no counterpoint, no points that well respected medias and organizations in the area would be saying, just blatant old-ass propaganda used by the military juntas in the region. Disappointing from you. Even Reddit threads on this subject would be better made... You could have talked about Bolloré practices in the region (but since you didn't worked on this subject seriously you probably don't even who he is), but no here come the almost conspirationist FRANCE CONTROLS AFRICA BRRRR. This video is dangerous because you feed russian trolls rethoric and shameless anti-western sentiment. Do better.

@@therealuncleowen2588 Unfortunately, this is true of a good chunk of America (and it's not really confined to any party or region, either). Education here regarding both history and geopolitics is extremely lacking and does not seem to be getting any better. Before this last year, I could not have told you anything more than very common historical knowledge (e.g. the Civil War or the two World Wars)- about a country I have lived in since I was born. It's sad to see how much I've missed, and how many things I've fundamentally misunderstood about history- and given I was always very interested in these subjects, I can't help but wonder how badly people who _aren't_ into history or geopolitics misunderstand and misrepresent things.

As a former French Foreign legionnaire who was in Mali during Operation Barkhane, I remember encountering Wagner Group in a village near Tessalit and even though both sides knew the other was there and it was ok, there was still a bit of tension. One of our guy, a Lithuanian, started an argument with one of Wagner after he apparently said something insulting in russian. I remember how we all looked at each others and instantly understood " let's chill, there's no need to excalate a situation we wouldn't be able to handle ", because let's face it, no matter how much training you have, when your only experience is fighting some dude in ragtags with a rusty AK, you don't feel confident taking on a similar force. I can't imagine fighting in the same place again against trained troops, heavy artillery, armor and drones... Especially in such an open place as the Sahel.

Because of the colonization, teh african demography has exploded, which should tell everything there is to tell about what it was and its results. As for what the french got from it?

The lack of sources should cause us to question EVERYTHING being said. The difference between good historiography and what could be a fairy tale is the presence or absence of good sourcing. Without sources to verify statements, the underlying justification for believing what’s being said is literally “just trust me, bro.” That feeling of “wow, this makes SO much sense!” is really easy to engender in an audience if you don’t have to post your sources. With that said, I hold a BA in History, and did about 1/3 of my studies on this region, and I didn’t see or hear anything in this video that I would say is false or even really all that suspicious. However, that in itself makes me a little suspicious - nothing in human history is ever perfectly sensible, clear-cut, and easily understood. But, without sources to check their statements against, that’s all I can say. It seems credible, it doesn’t *appear* to be an outright fabrication, and it is internally consistent. I feel like there’s one last thing which should be mentioned: There have been a limited number of events in which massive stores of ancient knowledge have been lost or destroyed, such as the destruction of the Library of Alexandria, the conquest of Baghdad & destruction of the House Of Knowledge, the “Great Leap Forward” and the Spanish conquest of the Aztec… Another of these events has been underway in the region this video focuses on, concerning the libraries of Mali. Jihadist forces consider the truly ancient scrolls that had been stored there for hundreds to more than a thousand years to be against their religion, and as a result they have been systematically destroying them, hunting down those who are attempting to hide, preserve, or evacuate these documents and artifacts - there have been some amazing stories of heroism in the service of the preservation of these priceless works, but most end in tragedy. Russia / Wagner / “Die Neue Afrika Korps (but we swear the other guys are the real Nazis!)” do NOT give a shit about ancient scrolls from Mali. They want gold, and other raw materials come in a distant second. France sucks for the way they’ve treated these people, but a mere cursory glance at the history of Russia will suffice to show that they have never - EVER - truly been a force for decolonization. If they ever came close, those days are truly over now, as Putin has expressed an almost completely overt desire to re-establish the Russian Empire. Inviting Russian troops into your country to help with peacekeeping and security is a very, very bad move that has never turned out well for ANY who have attempted it.

I suppose, I should atleast point out some nuance/context: Many Americans do ignore foreign problems...when domestic crisis at home for the average American must take precedence and right now it is a tacit issue but I digress. Outside of that, a significant percentage [if not nearly all or all] of modern world crisises receive American aid relief in some manner. Not sure if you meant the connotation but yes, as those with the most...we actually do give pretty much the most and the second typically being our allies from America's hat, the Canadians to those across the pond in GBE/UK or Europe and increasingly Australia/NZ and SEAsia from like Japan, SKorea and Taiwan. This is why disaster and conflict zones outside of our borders can be reached with very decent reliability Americans on site providing civilian relief from health service personnel like doctors, nurses, maxillofacia specialists, etc rendering life saving services to the unfortunate in warzone relief refugee, sanctuary and missionary camps to even specialists like pathologists and laboratory specialists for example in outbreak events to municipal, civil and infrastructure scientists and engineers in ecological sustainability or disaster relief from like severe typhoons. So, a significant portion of American effort (ie. human, manufactured and economic/financial capital) goes abroad to help others...but that's not as attention/click grabbing, soundbyte or algorithm friendly as like breaking news coverage of USAF fighters and bombs raining carnage upon some small country with a bunch of teens with oily skin and acne that are protesting outside of a newly opened McDonalds. Or my favorite for newspaper headlines is: Ex: "Small country that just found oil and suddenly their government is now overthrown by a radical Islamic terrorist cell and is wet and ready for stiff and girthy trouser slab of freedom, liberty and managed democracy throbbing through a 500kg bomb shoved up their bonus holes", front page article picture shows fighter jets streaking overhead and bald eagle standing on your shoulder as fireworks erupt behind you as you hold both a blasting AR-15 and a US flag standing defiantly atop an Abrams tank...why? Because, Amurica...f--uh-ck yeah. Anyways...

Basically, after France lost Indochina in 1954, the independence of Algeria and the May 1958 coup, the French didn’t want to lose another colony so in 1958, they set up a constitutional referendum in their Africans colonies that if they accepted the constitution, they will become independent in the French community in a period of several years while if they rejected it, they would received immediate independence. Most colonies approved the constitution, while Guinea, under the calls of Ahmed Sekou Toure, rejected it. As a consequence, the French before retreated from the country destroy the country’s infrastructure. And for the colonies that adopted the constitution, they have to carry an "Independent tax" which deprived of them any economic independence.

You're wrong about there being no uranium within France borders, there's enough Uranium deposits in France, especially in the "Bretagne" region. As a french i've lived 30km near an abandoned uranium mine for example. It's just not interesting for french companies to exploit these mines, due to factors such as pollution, it's way more economically and environmentally interesting to get it from foreign countries while safeguarding the strategic reserves for latter uses.

I was in northern Ivory Coast back in 2002 when the civil war started. I remember seeing French troops being stationed a block away from our house. We were elated to watch these soldiers roll in with their big guns and tanks after months of violent fighting between the government forces and rebels that cost the lives of thousands. At the time, we saw the French military as saviors because we were lead to believe that President Laurent Gbagbo hated us northerners and wanted to exterminate us. Fortunately my entire family was able to escape the conflict by clandestinely crossing the border into neighboring Mali where my parents are from. We spent 4 days and 4 nights hiding in the back of a semi truck trying to avoid all roadblocks put in place by the rebels. I remember on our 3rd day we got caught by the rebels and we all thought we were going to die in the most horrific ways. I will never forget the terrifying look on my younger brother’s face who started screaming “We’re dead! We’re dead!” as the rebels fired warning shots and aimed their weapons at us. The driver was able to bribe them so they let us go. It wasn’t until decades later that I truly understood what the real story was. Turns out President Gbagbo wanted to leave the Franc CFA and gain back control of the cacao industry to benefit local producers rather than foreign multinationals. So France in conjunction with Alassane Dramane Ouattara (ADO) who is currently the president of Ivory Coast, lead both a demonizing media campaign and a devastating rebellion against the Government of Laurent Gbagbo to stamp out his nationalist ambitions. So it makes my blood boil when most French media and political commentators reduce our rejection of France’s neocolonialism to a simple “anti-French sentiment”.

@@Kamfrenchie First of, there’s no such thing as an “international community”. This term refers to a minority of western powers who impose their will on countries that they’d like to control. The 2011 election of Gagbo was validated by the constitutional court of the country. Please go watch Nickola Sarkozy’s speech in which he states “we removed Gbagbo to install Alassane Dramane Ouattara” who has done nothing but represent the interests of France not only in Ivory Coast but all throughout west Africa. But let’s assume that Gbagbo did steal the election. What right does the French government has to drop bombs on the presidential palace of a sovereign country to remove its sitting President? Can you imagine an African nation bombing the white house to remove Joe Biden because Donald Trump said he won the election even after all the courts and institutions said he lost? By the way, the so called international community had nothing to say when ADO flagrantly violated the constitution which limits presidential terms to 2, to get elected for a 3rd term with over 94%. This is not some distant history. This happened in 2020 and he’s currently getting ready to run for a 4th term in 2025. We’ll be waiting to hear from Macron. Lastly, the fact that you would question why France would stage anything against a country looking to leave the Franc CFA tells me you still have a lot of research to do. The video clearly explains how France flooded Guinea with fake currencies when it dared leave the Franc CFA. But I’m not gonna bore with the countless examples from the past. I’ll give you current ones. Did you know that Macron and ADO sank the ECO currency that was supposed to replace the Franc CFA back in 2020? Did you know that Macky Sall (Senegal’s President) and France pull out all the tricks in the books to stop the candidacy of Ousmane Sonko because he said he would leave the Franc CFA and ask French troops to leave his country if he became President? Every single thing I laid out can be independently verified. But of course, there’s none so blind as they that won’t see. God bless.

You can find books in france about this subject. I had read a book about the "Francafrique" and its architect Jacques Foccart. There is also a reference to the "barbouzes", mercenaries doing dirty work for France in Africa. One of the most colorful "barbouzes" was Bob Denard, who went on to stage a failed coup in the Comores. A friend of mine who worked on french oil rigs in Africa also told me that it was full of French, Russian and South African mercenaries who would sell their services to the different warlords, rebels, african governments and oil companies. Being part of the same guild, they all knew each other and if they were working for opposing parties, would simulate pre planned firefights with no casualties. An acquaintance who was in the French Foreign Legion in the 1980's told me his job was mainly to protect the interests of Elf, Total and Fina in Africa. He was very disappointed as he was very patriotic and didn't want to babysit private interests.

I so want to get the full benefit from the effort you put into these vids, but in the instance of some texts sizes, it becomes completely fruitless and often times even sadly aggravating (especially when a charts you did will help really clarify the issue and I am just bleeding out the sides of my eyeballs squinting so hard to try to read the text...which I just cant seem to do...and then I'm pissed and covered in eye blood ;-) Remember, many of us are on phones and thus can't see the very small text. However, nearly every time, on all your vids, you have enough space to make the font sizes slightly larger without blocking the rest of the primary focus of the picture being displayed.

The CFA Franc allows for easy trade with the Euro zone, mining rights can be renegotiated (if needed) and foreign soldiers can boost the economy in a region (some regions in Germany are still benefiting from American soldiers who are stationed there).

After these african countries became "independent" in the second half of the 20th Century France had the oppurtunity to help these african francophone countries to develop well and making them stable democracies something like USA achived in South Korea or Japan. But instead France was too greedy and secretly exploited them and kept them poorer. Sadly now Russia and even China will make many of these resource rich african countries to be more anti Western.
