8. Since French former colonies, already poor countries, are left with 15% of their own resources to function, they then go back to France for debts. And the colonizer will give them debts from their own money on commercial rates. I swear WE ARE COLONIZED

9. It doesn't only stop to resources. France former colonies are not allowed to get any other partners. France has an exclusive right to supply military equipment Mostly France former colonies must use the colonial currency which is the CFA

To end my thread, the decolonization of our continent will be much more complex as we sometimes think But first we must unpack a history of realities very hard to swallow : everyone wants a piece of Africa.

11. I am adding to this thread.More things we all should understand about France-Africa relations The only way the former colonies could get independence was through signing colonial pacts with France The colonial pacts simple made France the legitimate partnership in anything

12. The colonial taxes are framed by France under what they call colonial debts.France billed every country for schools, hospitals, every penny it supposed spent on these countries Note that France never shared how much each country owe. All it does, it bills them every month

13. Briefly none of these 14 countries knows how much they supposedly owe France . France inflate it as it wants . All they get is bills for every penny supposedly France spent on them during colonialism And that's the end of my thread for now

I'm more than a little stunned to learn this. I confess I know very little about the French colonial presence in Africa but I legit believed that it was a FORMER colonial power. Learning that it's actively siphoning resources in 2019 is... WTAF. Thank you for shining the light.

Haiti was made to pay “compensation” to France for the emancipation of enslaved persons—billions of dollars, that took from 1825 to 1947 to “pay off.” Little wonder why Haiti has struggled! France should give this money back, tout de suite.
