Yea. Macron damn near lost his election to a lady who was wanting to pull out of Africa altogether.Something not being said here, is that Russia through extension of the Wagner group have basically turned all former African French colonies against the French.
I believe the French government is more pissed about this than most of us over here understand. Lots of revenue through exports is now lost and several have began to reject the franc as their currency. Will be interesting to see what happens.
