Françafrique: EU manipulation against Africans, how far is France prepared to go for its interests?

Faced with its evident decline on the African continent, the neo-colonial power (France) is clinging to every possibility that might allow it to regain control, extend its influence, and reinforce its presence, albeit in a more covert manner. One such strategy would be to silence all African voices that rise up to denounce the actions of French leaders and their allies in Africa and elsewhere.
In addition to intimidation, defamation, legal action, threats, and other forms of persecution, France is also relying on measures such as stripping of nationality or visa refusals. To successfully carry out this strategy aimed at discouraging Pan-Africanists, the European Union (EU) is called to support. According to information from sources close to this European institution, reported by credible media, high-ranking officials are said to be involved in intimidating Africans who openly express their frustration with French influence in Africa.
France would have succeeded in manipulating these senior EU officials by arguing that Africans who defend the interests of their continent or support revolutionary leaders in their struggle for sovereignty and freedom are allies of Russia and thus hostile to the West. This raises a legitimate question for keen observers: “How far is France willing to go to regain control in Africa, especially in the Sahel?”
Observers also point to the continued subversive actions of this neo-colonial and imperialist power against regimes that are committed to fulfilling the deep aspirations of their people and to the total liberation of states from imperialist control. Increased caution is therefore required to thwart these maneuvers if the revolution set in motion is to reach its true conclusion.
