Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozin in italics:

[ColonelCassad] France continues to notably burn out from what is happening in Africa, where the French neo-colonial empire that existed for several decades is collapsing, from which the Central African Republic, Mali and Burkina Faso have dropped out over the past few years.

French Foreign Ministry accuses Russia of conducting neo-colonial policy in Africa

The French Foreign Ministry responded to the words of the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, that Moscow is not interested in the opinion of Paris on the development of its relations with African countries. The agency criticized her statement, accusing Russia of pursuing a neo-colonial policy in Africa, RIA Novosti reported.

“Today, what we are seeing in Africa is the conduct of a neo-colonial policy by Russia,” the French Foreign Ministry said, adding that this approach is allegedly aimed at calling into question the sovereignty of the states in the region.

Earlier it became known that Russia wanted to resume flights to a number of countries in Africa and Asia - domestic carriers were urged to consider organizing direct flights to destinations inaccessible to Russians due to Western sanctions.

Of course, when France placed puppet presidents in the countries of the region, deployed troops and supported military coups in its favor, this was not a neo-colonial policy in dependent countries.Unlike France, Russia has never had colonies in Africa. On the contrary, the USSR, and now the Russian Federation, help the former colonies to gain real independence from the former colonizers.

It is high time to raise the question of the liberation of Niger from the heels of the French colonialists, who appropriate the local uranium.

#1 As a starter, and for a history of French involvement, one cannot do better that Claude Wauthier's "Quatre Presidents et l'Afrique: De Gaulle, Pompidou, Giscard d'Estaing, Mitterand"
