Opinion: Macron won’t release his “Françafrique” just yet…

The problem of Nigeriens today is putschists who are putting them in danger, because they are abandoning the fight against terrorism, because they are abandoning a policy which was economically good for them, and because they are losing all the international funding that was enabling them to get out of poverty” – President Emmanuel Macron (LSI Africa, 28.08.2023).

We are seeing the desperation from Paris. Paris is losing their vassal states and the ones who has been under wings under “independence”. These nations are now addressing Paris in a manner, which it haven’t been before. While the “French Interests” has come before the National Interests of these “independent” states themselves. In this regard, Niger.

Niger has treated unfairly and unkindly. It has been a place of looting and control from Paris. They have found “mechanisms” and means to an end. That has been done through military assistance or other means. Just to be the “white saviour” who happens to take home the valuable assets from where-ever they where stationed for hot minute. That’s what Paris has done and they thought they could continue this practice for forever.

They thought they could loot, steal and have a say in national affairs all over Sahel region. The French thought they could use power and influence to get “interests” which benefits Paris. That to still be seen as an empire and be a big deal. The French has been proud of this method. The way it keeps of colonial practices and “liberation” agreements, which binds the nations with the French. It isn’t for fun or games, but for profit and gold. The French wants to extract and get as much resources as possible for cheap. That’s why they finessed the “liberators” who signed off on horrific agreements, but they did so in the best possible manner. Since then they have been guaranteed pressure and potential setbacks from Paris.

That’s why the junta government in Niamey was the final straw for Macron and the elites of Paris. They have already tasted the bitter fruits in Burkina Faso, Mali and Guinea. Now Niger is following suit. Being a block of nations of former French colonies who strikes back. The Empire wants to strike back this time. They want their puppet and friend regime in office. Not people who see who the French really are. No, they want to the ones who are willing to budge and be a token soldier for France. That’s all it is and the resigned President in Niger is one of them.

The French doesn’t care about democracy or democratic values in “Francafrique”. This is the same people who are happy with the family dynasties of Togo, Tchad and Gabon. The nation who are backing Biya in Cameroon and so fourth. There so many questionable leaders that the French are supporting in Africa and they still wants to be the voices of reason. When we see what sort of men they shaking hands with and giving favourable treatment. Seriously, the junta of Niamey is the least problem the French has on its hands.

We have seen Macron been disrespectful to Algeria and elsewhere during his tenure in office. Yet again, he shows the French arrogance and belief that they “own” and has a “unique” right to be there. If they are there now and has a mandate. That should be decided by Niamey and not by Paris. Just like Niamey shouldn’t decide what is happening in Paris. That is sovereignty and Paris should respect that. However, neocolonialism and French arrogance stands in the way of that.

A man of Macron stature should understand this, but his jaded with power. That’s why he behaves like this and even uses the “war on terror” as an excuse to overstay in Niger. This is all up to the Head of State of Niger and his fellow dignitaries in office. They are the ones deciding this on behalf of Niger. It isn’t up to Macron to decide that.

Macron isn’t a white saviour and the French state haven’t saved their former colonies. Instead it has kept them in chains and shackles. Under a bureaucratic mess and vast amount of agreements, which has haunted them since “independence”. So, he should be more careful and be grateful that it lasted this long. Peace.

Opinion: President Traoré spoke truth to power

My generation asks the following questions: we don’t know how it is that Africa, in lands with so many resources and with such generous nature, where there is so much water, sun and of all the rest, today is the poorest continent. Africa is a starving continent and its heads of state roam the world begging. There are many unanswered questions. Today we have a chance to build a new relationship and I hope it will serve to give our people a better future. Today we face the most barbaric and brutal forms of neocolonialism and imperialism. We are still forced into slavery. Our predecessors taught us that a slave unable to rebel does not deserve pity. The problem is that we see African heads of state doing nothing to help the struggle of their own peoples, we see our leaders singing with imperialism, who, in fact, have become its ministers, they are treated as people who do not respect human rights. Talking about it here is both insufficient and shameful. We need African leaders who will stop behaving like dancing puppets whenever the imperialists take their tools. Our people said – Basta! Glory to our peoples! Benefits for our peoples! Victory to our peoples! Fatherland or death! Thank you, comrades” – President Ibrahim Traoré (28.07.2023).

Regardless of what you think of Captain Ibrahim Traoré who has been the interim president since 30th September 2022, which means he haven’t been in office for long. The President of Burkina Faso who is 35 years old and came from Forces Special (FS) which was a unit created by the ousted President Roch Marc Christian. He was the second army commander to do a coup d’etat, as the previous one was done in January of 2022.

We can now see that Captain Traoré has outlasted his predecessor, but not by much. He needs support and make alliances. We know he has done so with Mali and Guinea. Which are all junta governments and transitional ones at that. They are all working for similar causes and within their respective republics. Therefore, we know the Captain is wise to have allies close in the Sahel region.

Now we are hearing a tune of the forefathers. It is like the Captain has studied or tried to emulate Thomas Sankara. His a hero and everyone wants to resemble him. While doing so… you could also become a target of the same forces which betrayed Sankara too. That’s something that the Captain should think upon or even consider.

The message the truths of which he was speaking is amazing. It needs to be told, but not only be words, but end up in action. The Republic of Burkina Faso shouldn’t be used by an imperialist. No nation should suffer under that plight. The Burkinabe and anyone else deserves better. The message from the Captain is swell and should be amplified.

However, at the same token, he is a guest and a Head of State visiting Russia. The Russian Federation dreams of the glory days of the Soviets. The current Russian regime wants puppets and people who are feeding into their greatness. Therefore, the Captain shouldn’t change one imperialist over another. There is always a transaction and never a free lunch.

The captain should know this and he could easily be used by the Russians. As much as the Francophone Africa has been misused and extorted by the French. The French and others has to atone for their sins on the African continent.

Still with all that in mind. The systems are still alive and active. Things aren’t revolutionized or rectified. No, they are more of the same. Unless, the Captain have means or plans to achieve self-sustainability in his own Republic. That would be great and would be the best anyone can conquer. Instead of having to rely on others, but be able to take care of your own self. That’s the basics here and that should be the end-game.

Because, the imperialist will only find their way in and use tricks of the trade. They will offer something sweet, but they want a buck-load in returns. The imperialists aren’t there for charity, but for profit. They are there to earn currency and they don’t mind the costs put on others. As long as they get the ends. That’s what the Captain has to overcome now. Not just talk, but aim higher. Peace.
