PM of Senegal responded (translated):

He finally declares that “no African country would be sovereign today if France had not deployed.” Let us note that France has neither the capacity nor the legitimacy to ensure Africa’s security and sovereignty.

On the contrary, it has often contributed to destabilizing certain African countries such as Libya, with disastrous consequences noted for the stability and security of the Sahel.

This is finally the place to remind President Macron that if African soldiers, sometimes forcibly mobilized, mistreated and ultimately betrayed, had not deployed during the Second World War to defend France, it would, perhaps still be German today.

      Apology accepted, comrade.

      I’m honestly curious as this is my second time looking at this message. I remember posting it and going “I wonder if people are still going to recognize Jeopardy!, it might go over people’s heads.” I’m trying to squint my eyes and I can’t do it. What makes the post look like Nazi propaganda? Is it as if I’m saying “America and Europe have been helping Africa since their inception.”?
