France since 1957 controls 85% of the national reserves of 14 African countries. All are FORCED to pay colonial taxes to France. The 14 countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Togo, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon) in foreign currency at the Bank of France, and can only use 15% per annum, and when they exceed the limit of 15% they are obliged to pay 65% ​​fee under the total amount of the “loan”.
(Find out what France did with Togo in 1963 three days after the country “conquered” its independence)



Haiti is one of the most miserable countries in the world due to the enslavement of Africans promoted by the French empire. Until 2004, Haiti paid about 77 billion dollars in colonial rates to France.
France “collects” about 500 BILLION dollars annually from countries that are hitherto coerced to pay taxes so that they are not destroyed by the French government.


The colonial powers were not interested only in natural resources and raw material in the lands they set foot on. They were also interested in the languages, religions and cultures of the indigenous peoples of those lands. Therefore, colonialism both had economic-commercial and cultural-political objectives. On the other hand, it is possible to say that France left more permanent effects at cultural and political levels. For instance, it is very hard for an African country to vote against the national benefits of France at the UN today.

French imperialism found itself new markets, capital, raw material and cheap labor force and established colonies or protectorates in Africa by claiming that it was their mission to “civilize” the “primitive” folks. France, for instance, as one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, did not do much to prevent the ethnic clashes and genocide in Rwanda during 1994. Due to its right to veto, the French responsibility in Rwanda was never questioned at the UN or international war crime tribunals.

To maintain its dominance in Central Africa better, France established a federal structure called the “French Equatorial Africa” in 1908 and united Cameroon, Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Chad and Gabon. These countries are all independent states and are in political conflict with eachother today.

It is not possible to speak of a good vicinity in North Africa either. For example, Morocco has serious problems with Mauritania and Algeria because of West Sahara issue and political reasons. In some cases, African countries tend to co-operate against eachother with the country that colonized and exploited them. That is why, it is not really possible to speak of an African solidarity, unity.

When Africans wouldn't think!
When Blacks wouldn't forge their unity and act as one!
When selfishness rules the heart of the Negroid Race,

Why wouldn't they be slaves of the organized whites?

Only a black man would sell his future generations so as to acquire an umbrella with which to do yanga on the market Square
