France Can't Hide Its African Collapse Anymore

In this episode, TJ highlights a series of compelling articles that reveal a truth long understood by many across the continent: the economic fallout France is facing due to African countries stepping away from exploitative military and economic arrangements. Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, and Chad have all begun pulling out of various bilateral agreements with France—moves that are now threatening the health of the French economy to the point where an IMF loan may be on the table.

TJ reacts to the staggering irony of this moment. For decades, African nations have been subjected to IMF-driven austerity measures and debt dependency. Now, the very European power that designed many of these structures may find itself turning to the same global institutions for relief. This reversal highlights the real material impact that African sovereignty can have—not only for the continent, but for the geopolitical balance more broadly.

TJ breaks down why rejecting French military presence and business practices is just the beginning. He explains how the CFA franc—a colonial relic of economic control—remains one of the most insidious tools of neocolonialism in Francophone Africa. Until countries like Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, and Cameroon form a united front to develop their own sovereign currency, they will remain locked in cycles of extraction, debt, and dependency.

This analysis sheds light on the shifting global order, where African agency is no longer theoretical—it’s tangible. TJ argues that true liberation requires not only political independence but financial sovereignty, regional solidarity, and the courage to dismantle colonial-era institutions. For those interested in the future of African geopolitics, this is a critical moment of awakening.
