In Paris, we hear the same refrain everywhere: "Fran\u00e7afrique is dead and buried!" Yet, from Ouagadougou to Libreville, from Dakar to Yaound\u00e9, from Bamako to Abidjan, young people are rebelling against what they perceive as French control over their destiny.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Fifteen years after World War II, France officially granted independence to its former African colonies. A deceptive freedom. In reality, Paris perpetuated the French Empire in another form:<\/span><\/p>\n


\nFran\u00e7afrique. A system that combines official, assumed, and claimed mechanisms (military, monetary, diplomatic, cultural, etc.) with shadowy, unofficial, and often criminal logic. A system built against the interests of the people, with the consent of a section of the African elite and which always benefits African autocrats who are "friends of France." A system that all French presidents have allowed to prosper, despite promises of "rupture."<\/span><\/p>\n

Exceptional in its scope and unprecedented in its content, this work traces this little-known history, from the colonial origins of Fran\u00e7afrique to its most recent developments. Written by renowned specialists \u2013 researchers, journalists, and community activists \u2013 the contributions gathered in this book show that the Fran\u00e7afrique system, far from disintegrating, continues to adapt in order to endure.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":997,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-995","celebrite","type-celebrite","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gfcie75.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/celebrite\/995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gfcie75.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/celebrite"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gfcie75.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/celebrite"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gfcie75.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gfcie75.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gfcie75.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gfcie75.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gfcie75.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
