FRANCE saved worthless ungrateful Black Governments from Muslim Jihadists: Macron Plans ‘Noticeable Reduction’ of French Military in Africa – My Comments
2002: 60 of Blacks said life under Apartheid was better
This is a story from Britain on my African Crisis Archive. Of course life was better under Apartheid, but nobody wants to admit that White rule was better. In 2023, Blacks are still realising this truth, but few dare say it.
[France should leave these worthless Black Governments alone and let the Muslims smash them and conquer them! I have no problem with Muslims conquering and ruling Black Africans. Let them implement Sharia law on the Blacks and stone them to death and cut their heads off. It means nothing to us Whites. I do like the French in Africa and I really wish we Whites could team up with the French again. The French were the PRIME supporters of all Whites in Africa who fought. The French were awesome. Jan]

President Emmanuel Macron announced on Monday a "noticeable reduction" of France’s troop presence in Africa following a withdrawal from Mali and Burkina Faso after years fighting jihadists there.
"The change will happen in the coming months with a noticeable reduction of our numbers and a greater presence in these bases of our African partners," Macron said ahead of a four-nation African tour.
This "reorganisation… does not intend to be a withdrawal", he said.
"We will remain but with a reduced footprint… We will do more training, more equipping and better accompanying" of local troops according to their needs, he said.
Some bases would become training academies, while others would become "partner" bases, he added.
Macron said they would adapt with less French military personnel on the ground, and an "Africanisation" of their staff.
They would see a "rise in the presence of their African partners according to goals defined" by these partners, he added.
Anti-French sentiment is running high in former French colonies Mali and Burkina Faso after military coups there that led to fallouts with Paris and the pullout of French troops from both countries.
Macron heads off on a four-nation tour of central African countries from Wednesday as Paris seeks to counter growing Chinese and Russian influence on the continent.
He will visit Gabon for an environmental summit, followed by Angola, then the Republic of Congo, or Congo-Brazzaville, and finally the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.
