YOU’VE BEEN STEALING SILENTLY FROM AFRICANS: ANGRY DR. ARIKANA WARNS TO FRANCE TO RETURN LOOT.

How France still keeps former African colonies in this modern day. Former Permanent Representative of the African Union to the Washington DC in the United States, Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao, has stated that the Gabon coup should not be compared to that of Niger Republic, however, the idea that the alleged neo-colonialism of France was the straw that broke the Camel’s back leading up to the coup should not be discarded. The French influence in West Africa, marked by economic exploitation, limited assimilation, and a late but impactful move towards independence, shaped the region’s historical trajectory. Today, remnants of this influence persist, underscoring a complex legacy that continues to influence the dynamics between France and its former West African territories. The French presence in West Africa, spanning from the fifteenth century to the mid-twentieth century, underwent a transformative journey driven by economic interests, colonial ambitions, and the broader European colonial agenda. Early contacts focused on trade, particularly in gold, while the trans-Atlantic slave trade marked a shift in French priorities. Despite their initial establishment of a trade port in Senegal in 1659, significant French involvement in West Africa unfolded in the nineteenth century, characterized by the conquest of the interior, assimilation attempts, and economic exploitation. By the early twentieth century, French West Africa comprised present-day Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Guinea, Ivory Coast, and Niger. The French adopted a centralized, direct rule system, emphasizing economic self-sufficiency through forced labor and taxation. The move towards independence gained momentum after World War II, culminating in the emergence of sovereign nations in 1960. The legacy of French influence endures in the complex dynamics between France and its former West African colonies, reflecting a historical narrative shaped by economic motives, limited assimilation efforts, and the struggle for self-determination.
