#Global_South: Before leaving for Africa, Macron encouraged French companies to invest in Africa and show "humility". While speaking to the Congolese, Macron made moralizing remarks accusing them of being incapable of running their country. If he continues in the same key,⤵️
the French leader will create more critics of France/the West than friends. The Democratic Republic of Congo condemns French support for Rwanda and calls for sanctions. Macron's lack of sensitivity (tact) explains again why Russian narratives⤵️
are spreading and taking deep root in West Africa. If Western diplomacy doesn't learn humility (and doesn't teach lessons) it doesn't stand a chance in the Global South.
