"By bringing Francophone leaders to Villers-Cotterêts Castle to remind them that France is the boss, President Macron might be committing a mortal sin. He is telling the people of West Africa that their leaders, by remaining subservient to France, have remained in the enemy camp at this moment of monumental progressive change. Trust Macron, with a little more determination, he may succeed in crumbling the neo-colonial edifice General De Gaulle worked so hard to build in 1958."
