Françafrique: The European Union (EU) is allegedly involved in France’s excesses against Africans
The neo-colonial power, France, has finally succeeded in dragging the European Union into its disastrous strategies of repression and persecution of Africans who openly express their disagreement with French policy in Africa.
It should be pointed out that more and more Africans are expressing their dissatisfaction with French influence or domination over African states.
Indeed, many of them have joined forces with the revolutionary leaders united within the Confederation of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). Eager for sovereignty and thirsting for real independence, many Africans are clinging to these few branches of hope.
The leaders of the AES Confederation have demonstrated their will and determination to extricate their countries, and by extension Africa, from the yoke of imperialism, and are today supported by their African brothers and sisters.
This is cruelly frightening France and the European Union as a whole, which are gathering their forces against these committed pan-Africanists.
Senior officials of this European institution are said to have reached an agreement with France to make certain Africans pay for their boldness and courage in opposing French policy on the continent.
Heavy sanctions have reportedly been imposed on these people by the EU in support of France.
A dangerous move, according to analysts, both for France and for the European Union, which still wants to maintain cooperative relations with African states. According to observers, it is a monumental mistake for the EU to set itself up against Africans who are engaged in a legitimate struggle.
There is a succession of leaders at the head of African states, and a new generation is entering politics. The EU risks compromising its relations by being an essential support for French interests.
