Francophone Africa is in the process of becoming less Francophone or completely NOT Francophone. The French are very proud of their language and are humiliated when its influence withers away.
The French withdrawal ( expulsion) is secondary, the US being expelled from Niger and Chad is noteworthy. Ironic, you can pull up pictures of RUSSIAN soldiers now inhabiting the US built base in Niger….another mini Afghanistan debacle….
…of course little is being reported by western MSM about another senile Joe failure.
