Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, has criticized African leaders for what he called their "ungratefulness"

He made this statement when discussing regional developments.

We actually had a two-way relationship that was founded on security. On the one hand, we have been fighting terrorism since 2013. We were correct; I believe someone neglected to express gratitude. It will arrive with time, so don't worry.

"I say this for all African heads of state who have not had the guts to stand up to public opinion, even though I know too well that being unappreciative is a disease that cannot be spread to men."


"My heart goes out to all of our soldiers, some of whom have given their lives and fought for years, and without the French army in the region, none of them would be a sovereign nation today."

"We made the correct decision. Due to coup de'tats, we departed. Sovereign states requested our presence and wanted France to accompany them.


"France no longer belonged there if it wasn't for the coup d'etats and the people's declaration that their goals were no longer combating terrorism."

Recall that the Niger Republic drove French forces out of the nation in December 2023.

This came about following a military coup.

Niger's new military rulers made a drastic policy shift and demanded that the French leave after President Emmanuel Macron publicly supported Bazoum, who is still being held in his presidential mansion, and publicly denounced the coup.

Relations with France became even more strained in November 2024 when Niger Republic authorities banned the Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (Acted), a French aid organization, from doing business there.

In recent years, Chad, Senegal, Mali, and other African nations have also requested that French troops withdraw from their nations.

We shall know the truth soonest

Hmmmm!

There's more to this.

Face your country.

The terrorism you're fighting in another man's country is at your doorstep.

Attachee by force.

Bruised ego!

This man needs a hot slap

Seems the last slap has expired

You rob people for hundreds of years and you turn around to call them ungrateful for getting tired of your robbery?

France should be appreciative of the African countries they used to build their country after the devastation of World War 2

Since you have helped them achieve their sovereignty, must you hinder their development through your direct & indirect exploitations? An African adage says: "if you give somebody a goat 🐐, you release it with the rope".

Nawa ooo, we dey do us oo

Read between the lines!

There is a veiled threat in this press statement.

These former French colonies in Africa should be very careful. Thank God Nigeria is on their good side.

Lol....since the Nigerien leader blew open the secrets behind France's bromance with the drug dealer in Aso rock, this guy has been pained....seriously pained....

If Africans say thank you to France for rapppppiny them for over 400 years, what does France to Africa?

Foolish SIMP,you need another slaps

Nairaland.com is full of toxic people. French and Africa leaders is the topic, what brought about obedient I don't know. One statement French president made that caught my attention is that fact that French military lose their lives and others were injured in the cause of operating in Africa atleast for that, they ought to appreciate France. You don't treat people that way, French help them financially as well. We must learn to be self reliance before we can tell them to go to hell. You send French away, then brought Russian in, what's the difference?

Bring the retaliation and let's see who will run. Weren't the obidients the ones that helped Shehu Mardi the arrested propagandist to spread his lie of French government building military base in Nigeria. If the so called Obi supporters have taken time to know that Nigeria is not a French colony but just business partner. They wouldn't have danced naked with Shehu.

Useless,even with your presence the coup still succeed so whats the brag about.
