It doesn't matter, that will come with time. Ingratitude, I am well placed to know, is a disease not transmissible to humans<\/em>&nbsp;\u00bb, the French president had stated in particular last week regarding French military interventions in the fight against jihadist movements in the Sahel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u00ab&nbsp;<em>He insulted all Africans. (\u2026) That is how this gentleman views Africa, views Africans. We are not human in his eyes<\/em>&nbsp;\u00bb, reacted Captain Ibrahim Traor\u00e9 on Monday during a New Year greetings ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Like many other West African countries, relations between Burkina Faso and France have continued to deteriorate since the 36-year-old captain came to power in September 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Burkina Faso, like its neighbours and allies Mali and Niger, which are also governed by iron-fisted rulers hostile to Paris, secured the departure of French soldiers from their territories between 2022 and 2023. At the same time, the three countries have drawn closer to Moscow, much like the Central African Republic, which also demanded the departure of the French in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-une-nbsp-indignation-pour-l-ensemble-du-continent-africain-nbsp\"><strong>An \u00abOutrage for the entire African continent\u00bb<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Under multiple pressures, or even a cascade of ultimatums, France decided to \u00abreorganise\u00bb its military presence in Africa in 2025, but certain countries such as Chad and Senegal had already taken the initiative as early as last November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Chad, France's last remaining stronghold in the Sahel, has denounced the military cooperation agreement and demanded the departure of French troops by the end of January. Two military bases have already been handed back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Senegal has also on its side requested the closure of French bases and the end of all foreign military presences, according to a timetable to be defined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">And the two countries, speaking with one voice, criticised the remarks of Emmanuel Macron, who had also claimed that France had graciously granted certain African countries \u00abthe privilege of announcing\u00bb the reorganisation of its military presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u00ab&nbsp;<em>I would like to express my outrage regarding the recent remarks made by President Macron, which border on contempt towards Africa and Africans. I believe he is living in the wrong era&nbsp;<\/em>\u00bb, said Chadian President Mahamat Idriss D\u00e9by Itno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Senegalese Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, for his part, had condemned \u00abcompletely erroneous\u00bb remarks and stated that Senegal's decision \u00abstems from its sole will\u00bb as a \u00absovereign country\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u00ab&nbsp;<em>If you want a break with these imperialist forces, it's simple, we denounce the agreements. If we don't denounce the agreements, just saying that they are leaving the (military) bases, we have done nothing<\/em>&nbsp;\u00bb, Captain Traor\u00e9 stated on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u00ab&nbsp;<em>Africans must wake up. We must work towards being independent. We need to decolonise our minds<\/em>&nbsp;\u00bb, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">With its back to the wall and pushed to the edges of the continent, France must also gradually withdraw its military personnel from Ivory Coast and Gabon, two countries with which diplomatic relations nevertheless remain cordial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">One last French military base will remain on the African continent, specifically in Djibouti. With nearly 1,500 personnel stationed there, it houses the largest French contingent abroad, and the military agreements binding the two countries were renewed in July 2024.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The head of the junta in Burkina Faso considered on Monday that Emmanuel Macron had \u00abinsulted all Africans\u00bb, during remarks where...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":3417,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5,4],"tags":[163,457,61],"class_list":["post-3416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","category-mis-en-avant","tag-afrique","tag-burkina","tag-macron"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.1 (Yoast SEO v28.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Le Burkina Faso s&#039;indigne \u00e0 son tour des propos d&#039;Emmanuel Macron sur l&#039;Afrique | Geopolitics.fr<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Les propos d&#039;Emmanuel Macron sur l&#039;absence de remerciement des Africains ont provoqu\u00e9 un toll\u00e9.
