The Chaotic French African Policy

Abstract

Africa is organizing itself to finally lead Africa's voice to the international stage, trying to free itself from the heavy tutelage of the former colonial powers and international institutions. But it will be difficult to erase the footprints left by the former colonial powers. France and Africa are closely related. French African policy remains one of the major concerns of the French government. For good reason: Africa plays a leading role in the international influence of France, economically and politically. Africa is its strength. But clearly, the French's policy regarding Africa is chaotic, mindless and dangerous in the light of its importance to France.
