France: Controversial Kingdom or Genuine Partner: Françafrique, Neocolonialism, and the Struggle for African Sovereignty (Afroactioneers Book 19) Kindle Edition

France as a Controversial Kingdom or a Genuine Partner is a bold, urgent, and unflinching interrogation of France’s enduring postcolonial hold on Francophone Africa. Far from being a relic of history, French influence remains deeply embedded in the politics, economics, and minds of African nations. Through meticulous research, impassioned prose, and a fiercely interdisciplinary lens, this book pulls back the curtain on a vast web of neocolonial control that stretches from banking systems to sacred rituals, from military bases to elite classrooms.The central question posed—is France merely a former colonial power, or does it function today as a shadow kingdom ruling by proxy?—guides the reader through an expansive journey from historical betrayal to contemporary complicity. From the trenches of World War II, where African soldiers died for a country that erased their sacrifices, to today’s entanglements of monetary dependency through the CFA franc, this book reveals the mechanisms by which France has maintained dominance—not through brute force alone, but through strategic, subtle, and psychological means.Key chapters examine:The enduring power of the Françafrique network, where African presidents are vetted, coached, or removed to serve French interests.The CFA franc as a financial leash, locking 14 African countries into economic submission under Parisian oversight.The role of Freemasonry, occultism, and elite cults in shaping political allegiance and spiritual legitimacy.The transformation of the Church into a silent chaplain of power, blessing tyrants while ignoring the cries of the people.The colonization of the African mind through education systems that produce obedient bureaucrats rather than sovereign thinkers.Notably, the work does not descend into simplistic France-bashing. Instead, it makes a critical distinction between France as a geopolitical power and the richness of French culture or its people. The call is not for revenge, but for radical epistemic justice, monetary reform, and cultural decolonization. Case studies—including the Southern Cameroons crisis, military interventions in Mali and Chad, and the assassinations of revolutionary figures like Thomas Sankara—illustrate how French-backed regimes are maintained through silence, secrecy, and strategic violence.This is not just a book—it is a political declaration. A demand to deconstruct colonial myths, expose the “partnerships” that mask control, and forge a new future where Africa no longer negotiates its sovereignty with former masters.Written for Afroactioneers, patriots, activists, scholars, historians, and all who care about justice, this book is a fierce contribution to the ongoing struggle for African liberation—a work of historical reckoning, political clarity, and moral urgency.
