“This perception is fed by others, it’s a political project,” Macron told TV5 Monde in an interview. “I’m no fool, many influencers, sometimes speaking on your programmes, are paid by the Russians. We know them,” he said. France, the former colonial power in most of Western and central Africa, has longstanding military ties across Francophone Africa and French troops were stationed in Mali for a decade as part of a counter-terrorism operation.Critics describe France’s operation as a failure and blame it for destabilising the region further.

Russia has said Wagner neither represents the Russian state nor is paid by it. But the EU has imposed sanctions on Wagner, accusing it of carrying out clandestine operations on the Russian government’s behalf.Last year, a United Nations report said Russian military instructors and local troops in the Central African Republic had targeted civilians with excessive force, indiscriminate killings, occupation of schools and large-scale looting.

These French people are crazy, They're supposed to speak the language of love, but from this angle, it looks like the language of terrorim.

This dude Macron will soon taste his own lies soon.

She is speaking truth! Macron is a WEFmember and a WEFpuppet like CyrilRamaphosa!

It's the Italy President speaking the truth!
