Title
Afrique : « Il serait trop facile de ne voir que “la main de Moscou” dans ce spectaculaire congédiement de la France »
Subtitle
En prétendant continuer d'exercer son influence en Afrique, la France s'est faite la complice des échecs des indépendances. Mais nous gagnerions sans doute à considérer les événements en cours comme une nouvelle phase de la décolonisation, analyse Philippe Bernard, éditorialiste au « Monde », dans sa chronique.

Comment
"It is not a question of beating one's guilt, but of changing software", such is the conclusion of this article which makes the harsh observation of "this spectacular dismissal of France" in Africa. These are very light words. It's easy to change the software of a computer that doesn't know what battre sa coulpe means. A far more difficult task for the French politicians who are described as condescending, not to say always imbued with the idea of the superiority of the white race. To change software is to recognize at least the fiasco of a policy carried out in Africa since the so-called decolonization. This, under the pretext of ensuring the security of the new independent African States, culminated in the genocide of the Tutsi in Rwanda in 1994 when France had installed its army under the pretext of "protecting our nationals", as the journalist who just forget about this genocide. Certainly, Hubert Védrine and all the others will answer that France had withdrawn its troops in December 1993. But they returned on April 9, 1994 to evacuate our nationals when the genocide undertaken by our friends had begun. They left - or almost - then came back to save these dear friends the killers and allow them to flee with impunity.
