Anti-French sentiment in West Africa is deeply intertwined with the region's colonial history and France's ongoing influence. From the legacy of colonial rule to modern-day political, military, and economic control, resentment has been growing, especially in light of recent military interventions and political upheaval. Dr. David Matsanga, Africa Affairs Analyst, joins us to discuss the causes and implications of this rising anti-French sentiment. He explores the effects of the 'Françafrique' system, the role of French military presence, the impact of Russia and China’s influence, and how social media is amplifying youth-driven protests. The conversation also touches on how these sentiments differ between urban and rural populations and the future of France’s position in the region.
