    Nah, they will gladly let Russia take the lead of imperialism and dictatorship. France had enough of that shit already and can find other suppliers for uranium. Also, let them deal with islamists, education needs, health care and all the costly help that democracies have supplied over the years.

      Nigerians don’t seem very happy with all that “costly help supplied by French democracy”. If history is any indicator, that deal wasn’t something beneficial for all parties involved.

      If even Italian right wingers can call you out on your neo-colonialist shit you’re either bad at PR or you’re actually still a colonizer.

        None of your arguments makes sense by I agree France should have left the Sahel long ago. The islamist attacks of the mid-2010s brought them back for security reasons, they’ll leave for security reasons. My point about Russia and Wagner stands.
