A poem highlighting France’s legacy in Africa

My Dearest France You who are the darling of the world And the brightly shining light of democracy and civilization Producer of the Great Napoleon Bonaparte Conqueror and governor over lands far and near

My Dearest France It has been a tough 3 years for you 6 of your most-priced brides have chosen to get divorced from you Six! And without opting for a peaceful and amicable divorce They chose to end it all in the most brutal of ways; a military coup

My Dearest France, Yes, I am referring to the military coups in Africa in the last 3 years How coincidental that they all happen to be in countries colonized by you How can these brides whom you have nurtured from birth go rogue? How can they choose to swap French-sanctioned democracy for military rule?

My Dearest France Some of these rogue brides have chosen to denounce you Some of them kicked your military out of their countries Others have replaced French as their official language A language that you so freely bestowed on them with such a loving-kindness

My Dearest France How could these rogue brides even think they could do such nonsense? I know that this is the thought that occupies your mind daily I know that just like I do You wonder daily why these brides are so ungrateful

My Dearest France The new rulers of your Nigerien bride threatened to stop selling Uranium to you It’s a shame they could even think or say such a thing You’ve closed your eyes to quasi-democracy and corruption in the past It’s a shame they don’t realize that you always put business above everything else

My Dearest France You condemned the military coup in your Gabonese bride 2 weeks ago You kept quiet for 56 years while she was ruled by a single-family You kept numb to the massive corruption and deeply flawed elections But a military coup creates a bad image so you had to condemn it. Bravo!

My Dearest France Your beautiful Burkinabe bride has fallen into the embrace of the Russians How can she prefer those rascals to the French grace? You helped her fight insecurity for so long but her security keeps deteriorating Why can’t she appreciate the fact that you even helped at all?

My Dearest France Mali and Guinea are on this list of rogue brides They say their quarrels with you are the same as the other brides That you don’t care about corruption, flawed democracy, or bad governance How dare they say such a thing about you

My Dearest France It cannot be a coincidence that only your brides have chosen to run away But I want to give you the floor to speak If you say it’s a coincidence Please explain this coincidence to me

My Dearest France Your brides populate the list of the poorest countries in Africa? Your former African colonies have been ruled by one family for decades Some escaped the one-family democracy but replaced it with quasi-democracies What manner of coincidence is this?

My Dearest France, Can your silence be a coincidence? You keep quiet through thick and thin when the citizens suffer You shout the loudest when the people rejoice that the military might offer hope What manner of coincidence is this?
