The 11 Components of the French Colonial Tax in Africa

This is yet another favorite on the African Heritage blog.

Please take a moment to reflect on this colonial tax African countries have been made to pay for the past 70+ years, particularly in view of the new West African money ECO which is trying to come to life. We applaud the idea of a common currency in West Africa, and in Africa as a whole… remember that this was Kwame Nkrumah‘s dream and the forefathers of the African Union, but when we hear France’s puppet Alassane Ouattara of Côted’Ivoire say  that the ECO will be just another name for the FCFA, we can only scream against it, or rather against France’s scheming yet again to impoverish African countries. What France is doing to African countries, by getting over 500 billion dollars every year for free (Africa is funding Europe!), is the same thing that Nazi Germany did to France with their currency at the time of World War II: the FCFA was inspired from it. Yet… after pillaging Africa yearly and raping her daily, they do not seem to hold their economy down, dealing with unemployment, and the Yellow Vests! Free money is always like that: because you did not work for it, it always seems to run out quickly! It’s about time they think of a partnership… but then it is France, so that will probably never happen!

Nicolas Agbohou on the subject:  ‘Le Franc CFA et l’Euro contre l’Afrique.’

  1. I remember that post. You did a great job breaking it down to explain why the FCFA is a predatory Nazi currency. That was something I never realized until I came to your blog and seeing Dr. Mumbi briefly mention that money in one of her older videos.
