France’s Macron has been throwing his latest tantrum – unable to accept that France’s former colonies no longer want to rely on the shoddy military ‘security’ Paris had been offering them. In a 6 January speech, he accused African leaders of ingratitude after they kicked out French troops from their countries over their failure to fight terrorism effectively. He also insinuated they were cowards for failing to counter the growing anti-French sentiment in the Sahel over the ex-coloniser’s neo-colonial practices there. As African Stream’s William Sakawa explains in this video, it’s a bit like an arsonist getting upset that his help isn’t wanted fighting fires. Have a watch, and share your reaction with us.
