How France maintains its grip on Africa

[Apollo]

Caspian breaks down how France still rules West-Central Africa. Sad!

 

[911]

French were strong colonizers, all ex French colonies cuck to France. Even Djiboutians cuck to France and still speak French.

 

[Hassan Garguute Buldanana]

Worst colonizers, they loot you and destroy your culture.

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

Accusations of colonialism from the French & other Westerners/Euros against the Chinese is very ironic lol...

On a side note, the Frenchies are gonna have some brother rivalry with the Italians as they make their comeback to the HOA/East Africa.

It just shows how parasitic France are till this day. They need to reform all their outdated surpressive exploitive colonial policies, to give these African countries their rights to wealth and resources back. France could simply use other better alternatives like using modern Western free-market policies by improving infrastructure and investing in factories to give Africans jobs out of poverty. This would benefit everyone because you wouldn't have to worry about African refugees flooding into Europe.

Let's not fully blame France here because Germany and other strong North and Western European economies are fiscally tied to these poor African nations.

I mean Gaddafi’s plan was to introduce an African currency based of the Gold Standard which would have seriously damaged the western economy so they had no choice but to get rid of him.

Even China is taking advantage in Africa for their own gains but so far they did way better than the Europeans since they built infrastructures, invested in their factories and gave their countries an economic boom.

Africa will always be a pawn. It's called "survival of the fittest" for a reason.

Why can't Europeans hold a strong grip on their ex-Asian colonies?

Why Africa?

The more I read and understand the geopolitical & socioeconomic situation of Africa the more depressed and bearish I get on Africa.

They're too scared to touch Asia as China basically controls the economy of the entire continent.

Asia is now above Europe lol, it’s more likely that they start colonizing europe than the other way around, infact China is already starting too in Greece

But China wasn't colonised by Europeans.

 

[Tukraq]

But China wasn't colonised by Europeans.

It was by the Dutch and British at one point

 

[Apollo]

It wasn't. They only maintained tiny ports along the coast while the fast majority of China remained free of direct European influence.

Are those port cities not Chinese land that was colonized by Europeans?

The dutch colonised indonisia and when they saw how small the netherlands realy is they kicked their asses out of indonisia

Look up Macau and Hong Kong on this map vs the size of the rest of China.

 

[Tukraq]

Nobody is saying China in its entirety was colonized however, it did face Dutch and British colonization and even the Portuguese

@Tukraq

It's ridiculous to claim that China was colonised by the Europeans when in reality only a few long-term leases on some ports were forcefully acquired after a series of Wars against the Chinese.

If we go by that dumb logic then we can claim the whole UK was occupied by the Germans in WW2 via the occupation of the Chanel Islands.

Japan was the one under Dutch influence, not China. As far as I know, it was just the Brits and Portuguese.

The Brits didn't colonize them, they only forced the Chinese to buy their drugs, lol.

They also colonized the ports, they obviously didn’t have the power to take the whole country
