So, France suspended military and economic cooperation with the Central African Republic over growing anti-French sentiments. The Friend military said it considered the Central African Republic as complicit in an anti-French campaign. This is the modus operandi

..of France in Africa. A country is destabilized. They send troops, and set up shop. The day the host country adopts or take a position contrary to French interest, Paris threatens to withdraw its troops. There are French troops in Gabon, Niger, Chad,

Mali, Cameroon. These troops are deployed with blackmail in mind. How many times have France threatend to withdraw troops over rising anti-French sentiment? In a NATO Summit in London Macron threatened to withdraw French troops in the region over rising anti-French sentiments.

In Guinea, Macron threatened to withdraw French troops over growing anti-French sentiments. In Mali they made similar threats.

With the Central African Republic there is a dynamics at play here. Ever since Russia started sending weapons and instructors to the CAR in 2018

..the President has been less malleable to the dictates of Paris. Numerous French based NGOs launched their attacks like they do in Nigeria. These NGOs claimed the Russian instructors are in fact "paramilitaries" of the "Wagner Group", a Russian private military contractor.

They accused the Wagner Group of actively participating in the fight against C.A.R rebels.....like, who are they supposed to be fighting against? the government that invited them? The level of sympathy rebel and terrorist groups enjoy from these NGO's is stunning.

The attacks against Russia has been relentless. Perhaps the CAR saw the handwriting on the wall, thats why his state visit to Nigeria he solicited help from the Nigerian government to rebuild the C.A.R army.

The Central African Republic, President Faustin Touadera is not stupid. He has seen what happens to heads of other francophone states who go against thw dictates of Paris, and probably vowed never to suffer the same fate. So what does President Faustin Toudera do?

He "coup-proofs" his regime. Thats right. President Touadera's decision to employ Russian forces to train C.A.R army is a clever strategic move to "coup-proof" his regime.

Once again these NGO's lit their hair on fire screaming Russian imperialism.

They claimed President Touadera sold out his countries gold and diamond mines to Russia in exchange for protection. Lets touch on the issue of coups.

It is extremely difficult to carry out a palace coup when you have a powerful ally stationed in your country.

The relative ease at which coup plots have been successfully executed means something is really wrong somewhere. To proove French complicity in these coups, let's use related events for perspective.

In Gambia, when Yahya Jammeh refused to hand over power, an ECOWAS intervention force was all it took. Nigeria had to station troops for an extended period of time. Coup plotters will have to get past Nigerian and Senegalese troops to seize power from a duly elected President.

In the Central African Republic the coup plotters will have to get pass Russian troops in order to depose President Touadera and seize power by force.

Heck even in Chad it was the same. Rebels from Libya trying to overthrow Idris Derby had to pass through French forces first. The French airforce did not wait for the rebels to enter Chadian territory before Rafale fighters pounded the rebels, in the Libyan desert.

But in Mali its different. Why? What is the common denominator in the aforementioned country?

Idris Derby was loyal. The new Malian President was becoming highly critical of Paris. So in a nation that houses 5,700 French troops, three complete Squadrons of fighter jets,

..amoured vehicle's, a dozen rebels were able to execute a palace coup. For real? The Headquaters of the G-5 Sahel Alliance. And all Emmanual Macron could muster was to call for calm and caution President Jonathans mediation arrangements. Seriously.

When the new President broke ranks and became highly critical of Paris, what happened? Yet again a group of soldiers executed a palace coup and French forces were helpless today anything. How can one country experience a forceful overthrow of government twice in 16 months?

..and by coincidence they ousted Presidents were becoming critical of Paris. In the C.A.R the presence of Russian forces makes him coup proof, much to the chagrin of Paris. The French arms merchant, a former soldier in the French army arrested with caches of weapons

..of cash had one mission in mind, to deny the country the stability it needs to foster national development. They cannot get to him because he has basically coup proofed his regime So they will rather destroy the Central African Republic than lose their influence to Russia.
