New Caledonia: France and Azerbaijan, Blowback in a Pacific Island Paradise!
What does this have to do with the Pacific, and in particular the French possession of New Caledonia, we may ask? The recent revolt by the people of New Caledonia against their French colonial exploiters provides crucial insight into how colonialism actually operates and its consequences…
New Caledonia is another nail in the coffin of neo-colonialism
As the social and economic problems of the Western countries increase, the populations of their overseas territories and the subordinate countries of the Global South with puppet regimes are increasingly arguing in favour of the struggle for autonomy. We may be on the threshold of a revival of the anti-colonial movement of the 1960s of the twentieth century…
Why is France sending troops to Ukraine?
France has become the first NATO country to send its troops to Ukraine to fight the Russian military forces. This decision is a NATO decision, i.e., a decision involving the invocation of NATO’s Article 5. Yet, this is a significant development, which brings the possibility of a pan-European war closer to becoming an ultimate reality. The question, however, is why France took such a dangerous step that not even the US has. Its answer lies not in France’s sympathy with Ukraine…
The African response to the West in the face of the latter’s attempts to prohibit cooperation with Russia
After the authorities of number of African states broke off their cooperation, particularly in the military sector, with Western regimes, first and foremost those of Paris and Washington, new data appears, including on the reasons which pushed the governments of these African countries to put Westerners in their place…
The Look of Things After Russia’s May 9 Observance
On May 9th, Russia once again paid tribute to the tens of millions who perished defeating fascism in WW2. It’s been 79 years since the Soviet Union beat Hitler’s juggernaut back to Berlin. President Putin delivered a solemn address to all present and those watching via television and radio. The focus of the address framed for the world how the Western elites are currently revising history…
The Agony of Françafrique
Symbol of the perpetuation of French domination (slave trade or triangular trade, slavery, colonialism, deterioration of terms of trade, neocolonialism, etc.) over the peoples of Africa, Françafrique (soft-power, hard-power and smart -power) which has long served the interests of France in the black continent is heading straight to its grave thanks to the awakening of consciences of Africans. Having long served as a dairy cow for France from the royal era to the France of Macron, passing through that of De Gaulle, Pompidou, Estaing…
The presidential elections in Senegal and the condescending criticism of the French media
Since the beginnings of the victory of the Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Ousmane Sonko at the declaration of the official results giving the duo the winner by the electoral body of Senegal and confirmed by observers from serious countries deployed on the occasion, the French media and others of the Western line multiplied the insults to towards the new president Faye and the government team led by Ousmane Sonko…
New Caledonia or when Paris tries to close the way to independence of its colony
Regarding the neocolonial policy of the French regime, mainly with regard to a number of countries on the African continent, within the framework of the system commonly called Françafrique, which is going through the most difficult times today, it is also appropriate to remember that the French metropolis is, in fact, still a colonial regime, counting to this day several so-called “overseas” territories, de-facto – colonies, among which New Caledonia deserves particular attention…
French President's visit to India
French head of state Emmanuel Macron visited India the other day. He was the chief guest of the celebrations in Delhi on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Republic of India, proclaimed on 26 January 1950 with the adoption of the Constitution. Traditionally, on this significant day, large-scale military parades and colourful civilian demonstrations are held in the capital and other major cities of the country. Every year the Indian leadership invites a high guest of honour to celebrate the Republic Day. Initially it was planned that US President Joseph Biden would come to Delhi, but he, citing his busy schedule, could not come and then the Indians…
The Sahel region and the collapse of French policy
As time passes after the end of France’s military presence in the Sahel and the last French troops are withdrawn from Niger, the focus of many political analysts is on analysing its previous policies in the region. The withdrawal of French troops symbolises the end of Paris’s strategy, which disproportionately emphasised military power while sidelining the more needed elements of social and political support for Africans. The same political scientists draw the natural conclusion that France’s over-reliance on the military to the detriment of fostering development ultimately led to a weakening…
The Big Game in the Sahel Style: Geopolitical Ambitions of Russia, the US and France in the Sahel Region
During the last several years the situation in the Sahel region has undergone significant changes. Coups d’Etat have consistently taken place in Mali, Burkina-Faso, Niger and Gabon. Realizing their own significance in the multipolar world, African countries are more and more drifting away from the former colonial powers, which had used them for centuries as a cheap source of natural resources. Such perturbations in the region are giving way to a new span…
West’s Pseudo-Humanitarian Pressure on African Countries Is Doomed to Failure
Over time, the future relationship between the Global South, including African countries, and the Western world minority represented by the respective regimes is becoming increasingly clear-cut. And it should be noted that these relations are heavily stacked against the latter. The most interesting thing is that the collective West seems incapable of understanding what repercussions their absurd actions will entail and keeps making one strategic mistake after another, thereby again stepping on the same rake due to its arrogance. In the first days of 2024, the Swedish regime, still struggling to formally join NATO…
