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.
The complete inability of Westerners to conduct even basic ass diplomacy at a time when the world order is shifting so quickly gives me so much schadenfreude
Negging sure didn't work to pick up chicks at the bar but I'm sure it will work to conduct international diplomacy
