TERRORISTS OR FREEDOM FIGHTERS

Sir,

It is now estimated that France is holding close to US$500 billion African countries’ money in its treasury and would do anything to fight anyone who wants to shed a light on this dark side of the old empire.
The African countries don’t have access to that money.


France allows them to access only 15 per cent of the money in any given year.
If they need more than that, they have to borrow the extra money from their own 65 per cent from the French Treasury at commercial rates.
To make things more tragic, France imposed a cap on the amount of money the countries could borrow from the reserve.


The cap is fixed at 20 per cent of their public revenue in the preceding year. If the countries need to borrow more than 20 per cent of their own money, France has a veto. Former French President Jacques Chirac recently spoke about the African nations money in French banks.


precisely


He said, “We have to be honest and acknowledge that a big part of the money in our banks comes precisely from the exploitation of the African continent.”
France has the first right to buy any natural resources found in the land of its ex-colonies. It’s only after France would say, ‘I’m not interested’, that the African countries are allowed to seek other partners.
In the award of government contracts, French companies must be considered first and only after that these countries could look elsewhere. It doesn’t matter if the african countries can obtain better value for money elsewhere.
‎As consequence, in many of the French ex-colonies, all the major economical assets of the countries are in the hand of French expatriates. In Côte d’Ivoire, for example, French companies own and control all the major utilities – water, electricity, telephone, transport, ports and major banks. The same in commerce, construction, and agriculture. In the end, as I have written in a previous piece on how umlungu robbed black people, Africans now live in the mercy of the whites!


Through a sophisticated scheme of scholarships, grants, and ‘Defense Agreements’ attached to the Colonial Pact, the africans should send their senior military officers for training in France or French ran-training facilities.
The situation on the continent now is that France has trained hundreds, even thousands of traitors and nourish them. They are dormant when they are not needed, and activated when needed for a coup or any other purpose!
Under something called ‘Defence Agreements’ attached to the Colonial Pact, France had the legal right to intervene militarily in the African countries, and to station troops permanently in bases and military facilities in those countries, run entirely by the French.


When President Laurent Gbagbo of Côte d’Ivoire tried to end the French exploitation of the country, France organised a coup. During the long process to oust Gbagbo, France tanks, helicopter gunships and Special Forces intervened directly in the conflict, fired on civilians and killed many.


To add salt to the injury, France estimated that the French business community had lost several millions of dollars when in the rush to leave Abidjan in 2006 the French Army massacred 65 unarmed civilians and wounded 1 200 others.
After France succeeded the coup, and transferred power to Alassane Outtara, France requested Ouattara government to pay compensation to French business community for the losses during the civil war.


Indeed, the Ouattara government paid them twice what they said they had lost in leaving. A French language and culture dissemination organisation has been created, called ‘Francophonie’, with several satellites and affiliates organisations supervised by the French Minister of Foreign Affairs.


humanity


As demonstrated in this article , if French is the only language you speak, you’d have access to less than four per cent of humanity knowledge and ideas. That’s very limiting.
During the introduction of Euro currency in Europe, other European countries discovered the French exploitation scheme.
Many, specially the nordic countries, were appalled and suggested France get rid of the system, but unsuccessfully.


Without the report, no money.
Anyway the secretary of the Central banks of the ex-colonies, and the secretary of the bi-annual meeting of the Ministers of Finance of the ex-colonies is carried out by France Central bank/Treasury.
‎African countries in general are the ones with will less regional military alliances. Most of the countries have only military alliances with their ex-colonisers! (funny but you can’t do better!).


In the case France ex-colonies, France forbids them to seek other military alliances except the one it offered them.
Over one million African soldiers fought for the defeat of Nazism and fascism during the second World War.
Their contribution is often ignored or minimised but when you think that it took only six weeks for Germany to defeat France in 1940, France knows that Africans could be useful for fighting for la ‘Grandeur de la France’ in the future.
There is something almost psychopathic in the relation of France with Africa.


First, France has, since the time of slavery, been addicted to looting and exploitation of Africa. Then there is this complete lack of creativity and imagination of the French elite to think beyond the past and tradition.
Finally, France has two institutions which are completely frozen in the past, inhabited by paranoid and psychopath ‘haut fonctionnaires’ who spread fear of apocalypse if France would change and whose ideological reference still comes from the 19th century romanticism. These are the Minister of Finance and Budget of France and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
These two institutions are not only a threat to Africa but to the French themselves.


It is up to us as Africans to free ourselves, without asking for permission, because I still cannot understand, for example, how 450 French soldiers in Côte d’Ivoire could control a population of 20 million people!?
People’s first reaction when they learn about the French colonial tax is often a question: ‘Until when?’
For historical comparison, France made Haiti to pay the modern equivalent of US$21 billion from 1804 until 1947 (almost one century and half) for the losses caused to French slave traders, by the abolition of slavery and the liberation of the Haitian slaves.


African countries are paying the colonial tax only for the last 50 years, so I think one century of payment might be left!
Why are terrorists targeting France and the US? Have you ever asked yourself why Britain, despite being a coloniser itself, is not threatened?
Do you remember that the late Nelson Mandela was regarded a terrorist, yet he was a freedom fighter?
