SAHEL IS NOW FREE FROM THE FRENCH PARASITES...
IT'S A NEW ERA FOR AFRICAN SOVEREIGNTY!
For decades, France has treated Africa—particularly the Sahel region—as its economic backbone, extracting wealth while maintaining a firm grip on its former colonies. Former French President Jacques Chirac once admitted, “Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third-world power.” Today, we are witnessing exactly that.
France has been dealt a historic defeat in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, where revolutionary leaders have dismantled its economic, military, and corporate dominance. Air France alone has suffered losses of over €65 million since being expelled, and French mining, energy, and infrastructure companies are collapsing as Africa reclaims control over its resources.
This is a victory for African sovereignty, and a long-overdue rejection of neocolonial exploitation. Let’s break down exactly how France lost its grip on the Sahel and why this marks the beginning of a new era for Africa.
France’s Economic Empire in Africa Has Collapsed
For over a century, France has extracted Africa’s wealth while keeping its former colonies in poverty. Through unfair trade deals, political puppets, and military interventions, France ensured that resources like gold, uranium, and oil flowed into Paris while African nations remained underdeveloped.
But a series of military coups in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger have fundamentally altered this power dynamic. The new revolutionary governments have expelled French troops, severed economic ties, and nationalized key industries once controlled by French corporations.
Nowhere is France’s economic downfall more visible than in the airline industry, where Air France has lost its monopoly over African skies.
The Fall of Air France: A Symbol of France’s Decline
Before being expelled, Air France generated over €2 million per day from Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso. It was more than just an airline—it was a strategic economic weapon that dictated flight routes, monopolized African air travel, and funneled wealth into French corporate coffers.
But when the revolutionary governments took power, they began questioning why a French airline was making billions while Africa remained poor. When Air France suspended flights in response to political changes, the Sahel nations responded by banning it from returning.
Mali’s Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop exposed Air France’s arrogance and exploitative business practices, pointing out that the airline routinely canceled flights, stranded African passengers in Europe, and treated African travelers with disrespect. Such behavior, he stated, “would never be tolerated in the United States or Europe, yet Air France felt it could do as it pleased in Africa.”
That era is over. If Air France wants to return, it will stand in line like any other airline—without privilege, without special treatment.
But Air France’s losses are just the beginning. The real financial devastation for France comes from its loss of control over Africa’s natural resources.
The End of France’s Resource Monopoly: Gold, Uranium, and More
France has almost no gold mines of its own, yet it has been one of the world’s largest gold exporters for decades. How? By extracting gold from Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger under exploitative contracts that gave African nations only a fraction of the profits.
Now, these nations have kicked out French mining companies and are working with new partners, including Russia and China, ensuring that African wealth stays in African hands.
The same applies to uranium—a resource critical for France’s nuclear power industry. For decades, Niger supplied over 35% of France’s uranium at dirt-cheap prices while receiving only 5% of the profits. France’s entire nuclear energy sector depended on Niger’s uranium, yet Niger remained one of the world’s poorest countries.
When Niger’s new military government took power in July 2023, they immediately suspended uranium exports to France. The impact was devastating:
France’s nuclear plants scrambled for alternative suppliers in Canada and Kazakhstan at much higher costs.
Billions of euros in projected losses hit French nuclear corporations like Orano (formerly Areva).
Niger is now renegotiating uranium deals with Russia and China, ensuring that France will never regain control.
Beyond gold and uranium, the Sahel is rich in lithium, coltan, cobalt, and oil—essential resources for modern technology and energy production. France had controlled these industries for decades, but that control is now collapsing as African nations nationalize their resources and cut off French corporations.
France’s Desperate Attempts to Regain Control
France’s reaction to its economic downfall has been one of desperation and panic. Instead of accepting its defeat, Paris has tried to:
Impose sanctions on Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger.
Sever diplomatic ties in a bid to isolate the new governments.
Use economic blackmail to pressure African nations into submission.
But these strategies are failing. Instead of bowing to France, the Sahel nations have strengthened their alliances with Russia, China, and BRICS nations—partners who offer fairer trade deals without the baggage of colonial exploitation.
France is now losing control over not just the Sahel, but the entire African continent. Anti-French sentiment is growing in Senegal, Chad, Cameroon, and even Côte d’Ivoire, long considered a pro-France stronghold.
French infrastructure companies like Vinci, Bolloré, and Bouygues are losing contracts as African nations redirect major construction projects to Chinese, Turkish, and Russian firms. The collapse of Bolloré’s monopoly over African ports and shipping routes is one of the most striking examples of this shift.
For the first time in modern history, France is being pushed out of Africa—and it cannot stop the momentum.
France Needs Africa—But Africa Does Not Need France
The biggest myth that France has pushed for decades is that Africa cannot survive without France. The reality is the opposite: France cannot survive without Africa.
Without cheap African uranium, France’s nuclear industry is in crisis.
Without African gold, France’s financial sector is weakening.
Without control over African oil and minerals, France is losing its global economic influence.
Former President Jacques Chirac’s words have come true: “Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third-world power.”
And that is exactly what we are witnessing.
The Sahel’s rejection of French exploitation is not just a local political shift—it is the beginning of the end for French neocolonialism. France is no longer in control. Africa is.
The message from Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger is clear:
No more military occupation.
No more economic exploitation.
No more French corporations draining Africa’s wealth.
Africa does not need France—and for the first time in history, France is learning that it cannot survive without Africa.
This is a victory not just for the Sahel, but for the entire African continent.
The question now is: Will France accept its defeat, or will it seek new ways to exploit Africa once again?
