Hier een lijst van militaire Franse interventies in Afrika vanaf de jaren 60 tot nu in de ex-kolonies... minstens 44... de meeste zonder VN steun en met de bedoeling een al dan niet democratisch verkozen president af te zetten die Franse bedrijven meer belastingen wilde opleggen of nationaliseren.

Attempted coup originated in France: Equatorial Guinea
But is France pursuing a neo-colonial policy in Africa? Is it continuing Francafrique , the term coined to describe the country's relationship with its former African colonies, in which it supported unpopular African politicians in order to advance and protect its economic interests?
In order to ensure that it could easily reap resources like oil, gas, gold and uranium, France secured stability in these African countries.
This story reveals the lengths the former colonial power has gone to - from coups and assassinations to rigged elections and embezzlement - in order to satisfy its thirst for energy.
In the decades following independence, France supported the lavish lifestyles of African dictators while their people endured extreme poverty.
A complicated network of government and non-government employees laundered money through the country's public oil company, Elf Aquitaine.
When this was revealed in 1994, it became known as the Elf scandal.
People who were involved in this network also rigged elections and orchestrated coups.
The French government even paid for one African leader to become an emperor - only to later overthrow him.
