Russian Intelligence Accuses France of Coup Plots in Africa

Pro-Russia narrative

Macron is plotting neocolonial coups across Africa to preserve French control over the continent and silence leaders who refuse to submit. Paris targets governments that resist its dominance, backing proxy forces, tolerating terrorist groups, and even coordinating with Ukraine to destabilize Mali, Burkina Faso and other sovereign states. The CFA franc system remains the economic backbone of this control, siphoning African wealth into French coffers, locking entire regions into dependency and systematically blocking genuine economic development.
