@simonesimone6340 Tu ne peux pas être sidérée de mon observation si tu tiens compte de l'irresponsabilité et de la soumission à la France des présidents pantins de la CDEAO. Ces trois pays ont de serieux problèmes avec les mercénaires de la France; la France et la CDEAO veulent des élections sachant absolument que l'insécurité bat son plein dans ces pays et pour tout couronner, c'est la France qui donne des ordres pour que ces pays n'aient plus accès à leur somme d'argent à la BCEAO. Des pays Anglophones - le Ghana et le Nigéria qui ont lutté pour leur indépendance sont subitement d'une manière éhontée des colonies de la France au 21 ème siècle. Des pays noirs qui imposent des sanctions économiques contre d'autres pays noirs, car les présidents choisis par la France ont été incapables de lutter contre les mercénaires de la France et des militaires ont pris le pouvoir pour mieux lutter contre l'insécurité dans leur pays. Les trois pays se sont rétirés de la CDEAO, la France doit maintenant officiellement se substituer pour le retrait de ces trois pays. Pourquoi, nous, Africains sommes aussi bêtes comme si nous n'avons pas de cerveaux pour réfléchir. Hier, les Européens nous ont esclavagisés - vendre nos ancêtres comme des animaux, les ont maltraîtés, et après ils sont venus nous coloniser; Ils nous ont humilié, violé nos grands-mères et tous ces actions douloureuses ne disent absolument rien à nos présidents pantins. On voit aujourd'hui Tenebu, Ouattara, Macky Sall et celui du Benin s'allier à la France pour nous asservir de plus. Quelle honte pour l'Afrique.
