More Imperial shenanigans.
France has often been the world leader in setting the bar very low.

The French have taken much longer than the British and most of the other classic imperialists to abandon their former colonies. France is still clinging to her interests in the Ivory Coast's large cocoa industry much like the Americans still covet the huge oil reserves in Iraq.

Anyone who believes these imperial powers are just in it for their own national security or for the welfare the native populations is ignoring the lessons of history or just plain delusional. There is usually a hidden agenda involving natural resources or some other strategic advantage. And it usually means some long term benefit for the imperial powers at the expense of the local population.
