France Losing Income

The trend in West Africa has been a continual shift from the colonial horrors of centuries to a nationalism that is having an impact on more than just the individual countries in which the first wave of changes has been accomplished. The Sahel is gaining momentum in its refusal to be dominated by European thieves any longer. France has been the biggest loser so far. Their bandit operations in the Sahel have been terminated with prejudice, leaving them unable to replace the lucrative flow of cash from their banditry. Now the US is feeling the heat as John Mahama, new president of Ghana has demanded the closure and departure of military bases in his country. It is long overdue.
