odious relations maintained by France with its former colony. Nearly 60 years after their independence, much of the so-called French-speaking Africa continues to pay a colonial tax to France in a Machiavellian mechanism that makes their currency, the CFA Franc a tool of impoverishment and degradation. Since 1949 these countries have printed their currency in France and especially they are forced to deposit half of their assets in a French treasury account that uses this money not to guarantee the stability of the African economies of the CFA zone but rather to its own purposes. France manipulates the CFA franc, which it uses as a binary currency, namely a non-convertible currency on the international market which serves to keep inflation rates low for another main currency, in this case the Euro used by the metropolitan France.
Also when the economic situation becomes difficult, France can unilaterally decide on the devaluation of its binary currency which is the CFA Franc as it was the case in 1994. According to some sources in the manipulation of the CFA Franc, France recover no less than 400 billion Euro per year in the franc zone. A bleeding that can only favor misery in the tropics. In a situation like this, France can only support the dictators who better protect its interests, because a truly transparent and democratic regime that works for the good of its people would destroy all the caciques acts of the colonial pact, that continue to give France a certain aura in the tropics, and in the concert of Western nations.

Besides, it is easy to understand that true democracy in the tropics is a danger to Western mercantile interests, when its evocation is simply a tool of the obnoxious lobbies of Western powers. The language of ambivalence only serves propaganda and grants the West a speculative right to intervene in any tropical republic, to change the dictatorial regimes that sometimes by their extreme villainy, can reflect the ugly face of the West, which brought them to business. the tropical kings who want to leave a positive image of their reign, or who understand that to stay in power something need to be done for the people, often succumb to the refusal to continue to obey their Western masters, when they are not simply sacrificed on the altar of the larger agendas like Africa without Africans, which seems to be on the horizon with rebellious, terrorist and secessionist movements that seem to have taken root all over the African continent. It is no longer risky to think that democracy is imposed on Africans for better control their freedom, and the freedom controlled is only slavery. If African countries were to democratize themselves as they wished, they would understand the legitimacy of the rejection of Western interference in their internal affairs, and therefore break the relations of subordination that enslave the peoples of the so-called third world. The so-called aid or assistance of the west toward the third world is simply foremen of slave plantation doing their chores to maintain the system.
