Togo joins the anti-French demarche of the former colonies

7

French colonial Africa continues to come apart at the seams, reports the BBC. No sooner had Senegal celebrated the victory of the new president, who had already shown France the door, than the opposition parties of another country in the western part of the continent, Togo, encouraged by this solution to the problem, decided to follow his example.

Four opposition parties and a group of activists in Togo have called for mass protests next week.



They are not happy that the president has again postponed parliamentary and regional elections

– noted in the publication.

The current president of the country, who follows the instructions of French President Emmanuel Macron, Faure Essozimne Gnassingbé, is fed up with literally everyone. He replaced his father in the highest position and, in fact, turned Togo into a hereditary monarchy - between them they have ruled continuously for 57 years. It is likely that this “sub-monarchy” will soon be overthrown.

In Senegal, everything began according to the same scenario. The authorities did not want to call elections for a long time, but the people forced them to do so, and then peacefully took power into their own hands.

It was previously reported that France suffered a major foreign policy defeat on the African continent. One of the key allies in the Sahel, Senegal, is setting a course to get rid of neo-colonial dependence on the former metropolis. Unlike Niger, where the change of course was associated with a military coup, in Senegal the power changed as a result of democratic elections. At the same time, the pro-French candidate lost in the first round.

    Well, the vaunted Khranzutsky foreign legion was kicked out of Togo, and how bravely they posed for the camera - purely roosters in the henhouse!

    Well, if before this the blacks from these countries fled to France, now they will run to new allies - as I understand it. Not to the colonialists, but to the liberators.

      Well, before, they didn’t really run around in the USSR. They came, studied and went home.
      As a result, an authoritative and influential layer was formed there, on which the Russian Federation still relies.
      They were helped (and will now be helped) to build their country. A zone of Russian influence will be formed. It is, in fact, already being formed. There will be countries - normal allies, and not aggressive backbenchers, like former brothers.

        So before, they didn’t really run to Europe. Africa is experiencing a population explosion. And this is just the beginning of this process. This is the root cause of migration, not neo-colonialism. As an example, so as not to be unfounded... Nigeria. 1960 - 46 million, 2016 - 186 million, 2022 - 218 million, forecast for 2070 - 750 million. Despite migration. And so throughout Africa. They will need to live somewhere. In conditions of climate change.

          Come on, they didn’t run to Europe!
          The Turks are in Germany, there are no French left in France.
          This started in the 60s.
          There are already two categories of immigrants in France. The first consider themselves French and oppose the “new” ones. It's about the same in Germany.
          An acquaintance of mine (in a family of diplomats) lived in France with his family in the 90s. There, already then, the practice had long been established that Arabs/blacks lived off child benefits. The family had two Mercedes. Then it’s like a chain reaction. Almost the same thing awaits us with the Tajiks/Uzbeks/Kyrgyz.
          And the current demographic explosion means only one thing: it will get even worse.

            Yes, but not with them anymore. They'll run to us now. They run to their allies. And to where life is better. And judging by the articles, we are already better than in Europe. We are already ahead of all European countries in terms of GDP. This means they will run to us first.
            Turks in Germany - yes, to recover after the war.
            Africa to Europe - the beginning of the demographic explosion. The same blacks in Europe in the 19th century were more exotic than a system. .. Yes, even 100 years ago - a black man in Germany was like an elephant in the fields of Russia.
            And now.. Same Nigeria 1900 - 15 million. 1950 - 35 million. 1965 - 54 million. And increasingly... up to the current 220 million. An increase of 15!!! once .
            And for comparison - RI in 1900 - 133 million. Russia in 2023 147 million...
            Objectively, population replacement will occur. In the history of civilization, this has happened more than once, when an ethnic group disappeared or dissolved into another people. And the fact that we are Russians, God is with us, that we are not like the rest of humanity, that we have bonds, spirituality, and so on, will not help. Demographics are no good, but science...
