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 They need to reform all their outdated surpressive exploitive colonial policies, to give these African countries their rights to wealth and resources back.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.
