📃 Оригинальное описание:
French flags are being burnt across the Sahel. Nigeriens and Senegalese set fire to tricolours in their respective capital this weekend. In Dakar, protesters shouted, “Get out France!” - while in Niamey, the cry was “Long live Mali, long live Burkina, down with France!”
France has long considered Senegal its ‘pré carré’ - or backyard. Popular Senegalese politician and election candidate Ousmane Sonko, who is openly opposed to French dominance, was re-arrested on July 28th for unspecified reasons, setting off a new wave of protests. He - like many Senegalese - is critical of the French-controlled CFA franc, endorsing the creation of an independent currency.
Meanwhile, in Niger, the army has seized power. Inspired by the anti-imperialist leaderships in Mali and Burkina Faso, many Nigeriens are hoping that those now at the helm in their country will expel the French military and other French institutions.
This rising anti-French sentiment in Senegal and Niger mirrors the general trend across the Sahel, where Malians and Burkinabe have also poured into the streets to denounce French neo-colonialism and intervention. Are we witnessing the dawn of a new day for this region?
