  1. The result of authoritarian liberal government believing they know best.

  2. Take a note from Haiti and get them out yall country.. Simple as that

  3. Африка будет свободна! Долой французский фашизм!

  4. Wow now they blaming us! After they start a violence in Europe

  5. Poor France!!! Where will they steal Uranium and Gold from now???!?!?

  6. Uh oh. Uranium prices going up in France! Unless they buy from Russia, no .. wait, can't buy from them anymore. So maybe Kazakhstan? Nope. Russia's buddy. Looks like the only solution is the usual invasion to "protect democracy" and/or "humanitarian concerns".

  7. France is still colonizing Africa

  8. Time to cut links with colonialists. Why not! Let African fight for themselves. African war is coming???

  9. france needs to pay back all what they stole over the last 100 years as a start. french thieves and opressors. deepest shame on the french people.

  10. NBC is garbage masquerading as journalism. 😅

  11. The threat to use force if the appointed Monarch is not restored is eerily reminiscent of the threats that revolutionary France faced from reactionary Europe in the wake of the French revolution, when all of Europe's monarchies thought to band together to crush the insolent "Jacquerie". The rest of the story is well known. Perhaps there will be a similar world-shaking series of events to reshape Africa's geopolitics and legal framework as resulted from the reactionary attempt of Europe's monarchies to dogpile the revolutionary upstarts in France.

  12. African people acting like victims again? No way!

  13. Now if Gabon could only kick out the French 👀

  14. If it’s a homegrown endeavour then why are they chanting Putin and meeting Prighozhin in St. Petersburg?

  15. Europe it's time to pay for your crimes!!! Freedom to Africa!!! Thank you Russia!!!🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

  16. IDC what you think about Russia. France has for too long opressived and enslaved Africa.

  17. No one likes poor old France these days…sacré bleu!!!

  18. Please don't allow asylum seekers from those countries! Let them destroy themselves

  19. This peasants need to leave Africa alone😂they know they are nothing without Africa

  20. C'est Magnifique! En Francais vous ecrit il avec un moin du "g"! C'est Bonne!

  21. I support the protesters in the means of being freed, why the contradiction with the Russian flag though…🤔🤔🤔

  22. oh!! Sacrebleu!!! 🤣😂🤣😂 that country was doomed from the beginning of time

  23. Shove it up globalist macron's @$$.

  24. Every day we learn something new with CROOKEDNOMICS

  25. If they said it in "french" they have assimulated.

  26. The risk is that French predatory colonialism will be followed by another predatory colonialism that is using the people to affirm itself. History tends to repeat itself over and over again

  27. Finally it seems Africa had enough of the French bloodsuckers

  28. Full support to the protesters against French terrorist

  29. They need to get rid of the wh!te people✊🏾

  30. Western has used democracy to spoiled Africa by supporting corrupt Africa leader's and most of them came in through vote rigging and voters suppression and manipulation like this year February election in Nigeria which they announced an illegitimate person in the name of Tinubu as the winner and America got mind to send a delegate on the day of swearing in and now citizens are suffering high cost of living, hunger and insecurities, if tomorrow military take over power would you blame them the answer is No. Now Nigerians are calling on military to take over power because suffering is too much that's why you see citizens supporting coup d'etat in west Africa countries. So American and Europe are the cause of coup d'etat in west Africa.

  31. King George influences are the same as Napoleon France colonialism, they only take resources and enslave their indigenously, let them decide whether to be ruled

  32. Thank you Putin for freeing these French slaves.

  33. It is just the cannibal half chimps from west Saudi running mind control on the area

  34. If so, they don't want them to ever come to the U.S.A or Europe, just immigrate to Russia or China and we'll see the results.

  35. France can’t just leave it’s huge source of income. They don’t care about anything but the profits

  36. Can anyone explain why the Russian flag? Thanks

  37. Да здравствует и процветает свободная Африка от западных угнетателей, колнонизаторов и воров, грабящих африканский континент несколько веков к ряду. Желаю из России мира и свободы африканским друзьям борящихся за независимость Африки, за свое человеческое достоинство и свободу африканских граждан 👏🤞

  38. Ahh those americans again😮😮 oh no, wait…this is the Saint Russia😂😂😂 destroying another country, not just Ukraine. Hopefully putler going to get what he deserves.
