Sunday September 24 is certainly a historic date because it corresponds to the departure of French troops from Niger. After resisting the decision of the Nigerian authorities for a month, the French president finally announced the departure of the ambassador and French troops. Niger authorities commented this announcement, saying “This Sunday, we celebrate a new step towards the sovereignty of Niger,” And indeed it's a huge step. It is also a victory for the African people who have just obtained the departure of French troops from Niger, after their departure from Mali and Burkina Faso.  Of course everything is not over, far from it. More than 1,000 American soldiers are still in Niger, while French soldiers continue to be stationed in Chad (*) (950), Ivory Coast (900), Senegal (300), Gabon (350), and Djibouti (1500).

The French Minister of Foreign Affairs put things straight by recalling that the Moroccan authorities are acting with complete sovereignty in the management of this terrible tragedy.

Since when does the head of state of a country speak directly to the citizens of another sovereign country? There is only one explanation: colonial behaviour is still present among French officials and the controversy created by the French media i...

After recovering their political independence during the 1950s and 1960s after long and bloody resistance, African countries began to rebuild their countries under extremely difficult conditions. But the colonial powers, and France in particular, did everything to curb these countries. Mercenaries, such as the Frenchman Robert Denard, carried out all sorts of actions to bring down governments deemed too nationalistic. According to some sources, from 1963 to 2016, more than 20 African presidents were assassinated, among them Patrice Lumumba (Democratic Republic of Congo, Ruben Um Nyobé (Cameroon), Barthélemy Bog...
