How France Made These 14 African Countries Poor.

In 2019, a diplomatic row erupted between France and Italy over increased migration to Europe, with Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio accusing France of impoverishing African countries, stating that “If today we still have people leaving Africa, it is due to several European countries, first of all France, that didn't finish colonizing Africa”. He further said that France was controlling the economies of 14 African countries that use the CFA franc, a CFA franc-backed currency pegged to the Euro. He then added: "If France didn't have its African colonies, because that's what they should be called, it would be the 15th largest world economy. Instead, it's among the first, exactly because of what it is doing in Africa." It's been a few years since Italy's prime minister made this statement, and even before that, questions have been asked like "Is France really robbing its former African colonies? Is the current relationship between African countries and France preventing successful African development and sovereignty?" In this video, we will take a look at facts that will answer these questions and prove that France is truly destroying Africa.

To be sure, African leaders can be corrupt and not work in the best interests of their citizens, but even if they wanted to be honest leaders, they would be unable to do so. The big question is, why? The answer is clear. It's simply because the powers that be--that is, the West--would not allow them to do so because they benefit more from Africa in its current state.

Let's give a little background story.

Following the Congress of Vienna, which sealed Napoleon Bonaparte's fate, France could no longer claim to be a European, let alone an international power. The fall of Alsace-Lorraine to Germany in 1870 was the final nail in the coffin of France's world power status, and it was at that point that they shifted their attention to Africa. They were among the leaders in the enslavement, colonialism, and raping of the African continent. For more than 300 years, France governed more than 20 countries in western and northern Africa, encompassing around 35% of the continent. Countries such as Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Benin were used as slave trade centres by France during those years, and all resources in the region were exploited. They stole African gold, diamonds, and other natural resources to construct all of the magnificent structures you see in Paris today. In addition, uprisings launched by individuals fighting for France in the World Wars with the promise of independence were mercilessly suppressed. The five-century colonial period and wars of independence in the region killed more than two million Africans.
