Macron's comments on African gratitude for military aid ignite backlash

Credited from: CNN

  • French President Emmanuel Macron expressed dissatisfaction with what he termed "ingratitude" from some African leaders regarding military support in the Sahel region.
  • During a conference, he stated that French troops have been crucial in fighting extremism and asserted that Africa's sovereignty is linked to their presence.
  • His comments were met with severe backlash, particularly from Chad's foreign affairs minister, accusing Macron of a "contemptuous attitude" toward the continent.
  • Senegal’s Prime Minister countered Macron's claims, reinforcing Senegal's decision to close foreign military bases as an expression of sovereignty.
  • Activists criticized Macron's remarks as reflective of a neo-colonial mindset that undermines African self-governance.
