السياسة الفرنسية تجاه افريقيا منذ العام 2017

During the colonial era, France pursued a policy of direct control over its colonies in Africa. After its independence and liberation from French colonialism during the period from 1956 to 1977, France sought by all means to ensure its control over its former colonies. To this end, it adopted the France-Afrique policy. However, this policy became widely rejected by African countries, both officially and popularly, forcing France to reconsider its policy towards Africa. This shift was most clearly evident after French President Emmanuel Macron assumed power in 2017, adopting a new policy towards Africa and expanding the scope of his activities to African regions not previously under French colonial rule. During his visits to Africa, he focused on several issues, including food security, development, entrepreneurship, human rights, democracy, education, and culture.
