"France's new President blames Africa's woes on women having too many children.
Not on the looting of Africa by colonial powers, one of which is France, but on too many children, insists the man who has none of his own."
~George Ades
French President, Emmanuel Macron, has ignited outrage across social media for saying that the main problem with Africa is it is overpopulated by women having too many children.The French president has come under enormous fire for "blaming innocent children" rather than Western companies that are "looting" Africa. http://bit.ly/2tKg7Gh
Let's examine the facts, shall we?
Just before France conceded to African demands for independence in the 1960s, it carefully organised its former colonies (CFA countries) in a system of “compulsory solidarity” which consisted of obliging the 14 African states to put 65% of their foreign currency reserves into the French Treasury, plus another 20% for financial liabilities. This means these 14 African countries only ever have access to 15% of their own money! If they need more they have to borrow their own money from the French at commercial rates! And this has been the case since the 1960s.
Believe it or not it gets worse.
France has the first right to buy or reject any natural resources found in the land of the Francophone countries. So even if the African countries can get better prices elsewhere, they can’t sell to anybody until France says it doesn’t need the resources.
In the award of government contracts, French companies must be considered first; only after that can these countries look elsewhere. It doesn’t matter if the CFA countries can obtain better value for money elsewhere. http://bit.ly/2t0FjeV

"I wonder how many people know that PARASITE France STILL controls every last cent of its 14 ...yes, FOURTEEN African colonies! France is totally dependent on making money out of that money and receiving colonial tax ...plus has 1st option (unfair) trade deals.
And woe betide any upstart African leader who has the temerity of wanting some independence (like pensions for people, so they don't rely on children as their pension scheme?) ... Scorched earth, assassinations, coups and bloody civil war will follow such a silly idea of 'independence'.
BTW - despite funding Sarkozy's election & more besides compliance, Gaddafi's Africa Bank, Gold Dinar and a reported international class action court case for broken treaties etc of colonials (apparently worth trillions $ and gained traction) was why the Foul Francos led the assault in destroying Libya .... plus grabbed the Aquifer project intended to give Libyans free water ...

You can find out more about this on youtube ....
So when I see posts complaining about poor damned refugees sleeping & pooping on Paris streets - I say:
HOUSE THEM IN VERSAILLES, YOU UNCIVILIZED, BLOOD SUCKING PARASITES!!"

"Historically speaking, the French have been one of the most brutal and inhumane colonial forces on earth, yet they hypocritically love to present themselves as a beacon of freedom and equality around the world. In the last 7 years alone, France has bombed the crap out of thousands of civilian children, women and men in 7 nations:
1.Libya
2.Syria
3.Chad
4.Ivory Coast
5.Mali
6.Central African Republic.
7.Democratic Republic of Congo

Wow. I didn't know about this. Very interesting and shocking. But one question has to be asked: Why do the presidents of those fourteen countries don't just simply leave the CFA?
One such leader wanted to break free of Colonialism. See how well that turned out for him...
Eyeopening.
Such blatant exploitation and such gall!
How much longer will the world's people stand for such evil, shameful behavior???
I think most people globally truly don't care. They are too busy playing on their phones, worshiping TV/Movie Stars, and gaming to be concerned about real world problems. Nobody gives a shit.
Sadly true! :(
wow!!! this enlightening, the question I have is what is the world doing about this? because I believe this is no secret, it's something the world "powers" know about, so something should be done
resteemed! Great report @holisticgreen
Thank you so much!
Most people have no idea this is actually going on. It's time they find out.
In fact, during the last 50 years, a total of 67 coups happened in 26 countries in Africa, 16 of those countries are french ex-colonies, which means 61% of the coups happened in Francophone Africa.
