I saw the attached image on Facebook, I thought it was a joke until I did some research.




Now, see for yourself!

on January 1st, 1966, David Dacko, the first President of the Central African Republic was overthrown as a result of a coup backed by Jean-Bédel Bokassa, an ex member of French Foreign Legion.
Aboubacar Sangoulé Lamizana, an ex member of French legion on January 3, 1966, backed a coup against Maurice Yaméogo, who was the first President of the Republic of Upper Volta, now referred to as Burkina Faso. Not only did he back the coup he, also fought with French troops in quite a good number of countries including Indonesia and Algeria against these countries’ independence.

To substantiate the facts mentioned above, throughout the past 50 years, 67 coups took place in 26 countries in Africa and 16 of those countries in Africa were colonized by France. This therefore shows that nearly 61% of the Coups that took place happened in the French-speaking countries of Africa. Don’t you think France is surely desperate by the way it strives tirelessly to maintain a strong contact with her colonies no matter what it would cost? Of course, you are right to say yes.



The ex French President Jacques Chirac in March 2008 stated that without Africa, France will smoothly go down in the rank of a third (world) power. Also, the former President of France François Mitterand who left seat for Chirac also said that if there was nothing like Africa, France would not have had any history in the 21st century.

Did you know that 14 countries in Africa are by colonial pact required to pay nearly 85% of their foreign reserve to the France central bank under the of control French Finance minister even as we speak? It is really disturbing that Togo and other 13 countries are required to pay a colonial debt to France. For the stubborn African leaders who declined this offer, they were either killed or overthrown through coup, but the docile ones were backed and recompensed with extravagant lifestyles while their subjects embraced abject poverty and distress.

Unbelievably, France makes almost 500 billion dollars from Africa every single year that comes by. My anger gets even worse knowing they are not ready to condemn or cancel the act as these countries have already paid in 2014. It seems our leaders are really afraid of being killed and therefore need a powerful nation to support them. In case you are wondering why most leaders send their revenue abroad, it is because they are oppressed by colonial countries. Is that so hard to believe?

This is really serious.

When will this people stop exploiting Africa?


And we're here killing ourselves over their problem.

If this is true then ehhh hmm kai

um um 17wonders of this world

The is unbelievable in this 21st century

Its an incredibly sad story my friend. Would u believe that b4 the minister of the economy in cameroun declares his budget in parliament he has to first do in france? More than 50% of their foreign reserves is with france. And they get to justify why they need it to execute projects. Last but not least....any infrastructure projects they want to embark must 1st of all be tabled to fr
French companies....who choose what yhey 2ant and then the chinese or americans can pick the rest!
Example is the french multinational...bollore. they control the douala seaport....and when the chinese who built the multi billion kribi port wanted control,bollore went to the french parliament....and they now control kribi as well...which opens next year......

Well this may be true as I know that Cameroon has been perpetually subject to France up till now, and I can't say that country is moving forward.

mmm

am not surprised because even the thinking of an african man is inferior to that of the white so what do u expect? Inorder word this a legalise modern slavery. No wonder Bob marley said that we should emancipate ourselves from mental slavery.
