France has a legacy of plunder, bloodshed and Islamophobia!

 The french invaded Algeria in 1830 and killed around 825,000 indigenous Algerians from 1830-1875 according to Ben Kiernan. The indigenous population dropped by one third from 1830 to 1873.
French Lt Col Lucien de Montagnac, an officer in French expeditionary force in Algeria, gave the true picture of “French civilization” in a letter to a friend dated March 15, 1843: “This is how, my dear friend, we must make war against Arabs: kill all men over age of 15 take all their women and children, load them onto naval vessels, send them to the Marquesas Islands or elsewhere. In one word, annihilate all who will not crawl beneath our feet like dogs.” (“Lettres d’un soldat,” Plon, Paris, 1885; republished by Christian Destremeau, 1998.

 

By 1845, the French military was implementing this heinous program. General Aimable Pélissier reported the massacre of a Berber tribe of 1,500 people who had taken refuge in a cave. The French troops commanded by Pélissier burned the Berbers alive including all the children. In 1870, France passed the Cremieux Decree in which the Jewish minority in Algeria were granted French citizenship but the majority Muslims were declared second class citizens unless they renounce their culture and religion. Today, Muslims are portrayed as the ‘enemy within’ in France; a term originally coined by René Gontier for Jews in 1930s. It was imitated by MS Golwalkar who is Narendar Modi's ideological father in his book ‘Bunch of Thoughts’ where he termed Muslims as India's internal threat.
Jules Ferry, who is remembered as father of France’s secular public schools, said in 1848 at the national assembly after France was declared a republic: ‘I repeat, that the superior races have a right because they have a duty. They have the duty to civilise the inferior races.’

How France continues to plunder Africa

There are 14 african countries which are paying colonial debt to France. They have to put 85% of their foreign reserve into ‘Banque de France’. France has been holding the national reserves of 14 african countries since 1961:

Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Togo, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. François Mitterand prophesied in 1957 that: “Without Africa, France will have no history in 21st century”.

Even more ignominious is the fact that France has assassinated 22 African Presidents since 1963. During the last 50 years, 67 coups happened in 26 countries of Africa. 16 of those countries are french ex-colonies, which means 61% of the coups happened in Francophone Africa. According to German publication Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten, the former colonies of France must put $418 billion (400 Billion Euros) into the French treasury on annual basis. The French economy is surviving on Africa's economic subjugation. There were 147.5 million people in those 14 countries of Africa which are paying colonial debt to France as of 2013. This further explains that each person in the former colonies of France is paying an annual colonial tax of $2824 — almost $3000 — to the French govt.

 

 

Former French President Jacques Chirac said in March 2008: “Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third [world] power” Moreover, France has the prerogative to buy all the natural resources found in the land of its ex-colonies in Africa. 

Even while issuing government contracts, French companies have to be considered first. In Côte d’Ivoire, french companies are controlling major utilities – water, electricity, telephone, transport, ports and major banks. Similarly in commerce, construction, and agriculture. The “Defence Agreements” along with the Colonial Pact signed by the African countries allows France to deploy troops and intervene militarily whenever they deem necessary. There are permanent French bases in former colonies of Africa.
