The CFA Franc: French Monetary Imperialism in Africa

Описание: France projects itself as being detached from neocolonialism. In some respects, there is reason to believe this claim.

However, France has continued the tradition of French paternalism on Africa, going as far as saying:

"We [France] only want to help our brothers and sisters to succeed and to help this African youth to conquer its future.”

At the 2017 G20 summit, French President Emmanuel Macron, told a reporter that Africa’s problem is “civilizational,” implying that there is something wrong with the continent. The attitude reflected in these statements highlights the greatest barrier to reaching true African sovereignty: France’s continued influence in West and Central Africa.

This video addresses the issues of monetary imperialism in Africa. How everything started, and what can be done for the future.
