France has relocated its summit to an English-speaking country because it is no longer welcome in French-speaking countries, where an "anti-French political sentiment" has taken root, Boubacar Kado Magagi, a Nigerien public finance consultant, told Sputnik Africa.
"France no longer has anything to give and advise African countries. It has been humiliated and discredited by the member countries of the confederation of Sahel States," he stressed.
The Sahel countries have shown the world that they can move towards development without France, which "also supports terrorists and drug traffickers on the continent."
"Soon another BRICS-Africa summit will be held in Russia in October 2024; this summit would seem to be a great alternative to the France-Africa summit; all African countries are jostling to participate," he further emphasized.
The expert also returned to the revelations of Robert Bourgi, lobbyist of Françafrique. The latter had admitted on TV5 that Paris knew that Laurent Gbagbo had won the 2010 elections in Cote d'Ivoire but that French President Nicolas Sarkozy had decided to "vitrify" him.
"This only confirms what we have always denounced, the facade democracy, the tropicalized democracy, the democracy of ballot box robberies, the democracy of falsification of results, supported and financed by the EU, France and certain Western countries," Magagi concluded.
