Description;
The article delves into the historical context of "Françafrique," a term that signifies France's sphere of influence over its former sub-Saharan African colonies. Initially coined as "France Afrique" in 1955 by Ivory Coast's president, it later acquired a negative connotation when renamed "Françafrique" in 1998 to highlight alleged corruption within Franco-African networks. This concept traces its roots to Charles de Gaulle's strategic move of granting independence to sub-Saharan African colonies in 1960, aimed at preserving France's global stature during the Cold War. The article also details the key features of Françafrique, including cooperation agreements, the franc zone, and personal networks, which fostered informal relationships between French and African leaders but often led to corruption. The post-Cold War era saw a decline in Françafrique due to various factors, prompting France to adopt a more pragmatic approach in its African relations.
In summary, Françafrique's history is a complex interplay of geopolitics, colonial legacy, and diplomatic maneuvering, reflecting France's adaptability in navigating changing global dynamics while maintaining its connections with African nations.
