In this blistering new episode of Lumumba Explains, Prof. PLO Lumumba offers a sweeping analysis of France’s declining global influence, Macron’s collapsing leadership, and Africa’s growing rejection of neocolonialism.
From the shaky halls of the Élysée Palace to the rising defiance in Ouagadougou, Bamako, and Niamey, Lumumba paints a picture of a France in freefall — held together only by posturing, rhetoric, and denial.
🇫🇷 France: A Power in Decline
According to Lumumba, President Emmanuel Macron is the face of France’s deep contradictions. He calls Macron “a man skating on very thin ice,” one whose political survival is now more about managing optics than solving problems.
“Sometimes hanging in there is not the solution. Macron is trembling inwardly.” – PLO Lumumba
Internally, France faces unrest, a faltering economy, and rising anti-immigrant sentiment. Externally, its grip over former colonies is unraveling. Macron, Lumumba argues, has become a symbol of a dying order.
💣 Neocolonialism Exposed: The CFA Franc & La Francophonie
France has long cloaked its colonial ambitions in soft power tools like La Francophonie, the CFA Franc, and bilateral defense agreements. But the illusion of partnership is fading.
Countries like Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger have expelled French troops, rejected the CFA Franc, and begun to forge independent foreign policy agendas—often turning toward Russia, China, and Turkey instead.
🕊️ A Proxy War and an Appetite for War
Lumumba accuses France and the UK of fueling the Russia–Ukraine war in hopes of reasserting European dominance. He calls it a proxy war, where Ukraine is the tip of the arrow, and Europe’s old colonizers are the hand that draws the bow.
“They’re acting as if war will somehow reset Europe’s role in the world. That is a dangerous delusion.”
He warns of nuclear escalation, invoking the memory of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to highlight the cost of unchecked military arrogance.
🛑 Trump, the Disruptor & America’s Strategic Ambivalence
Lumumba contrasts France’s desperation with Trump’s unpredictability, describing him as a “chief disruptor” who only moves when U.S. interest is clearly defined.
While Europe beats the war drums, the U.S. remains ambivalent, more focused on trade, tariffs, and minerals than moral posturing.
“Trump wants microwave peace, but the world is not a microwave.”
🌍 The Multipolar World Is Here
PLO Lumumba ends with a strong statement: Europe is no longer the center of the world.
- Africa is rising.
- BRICS is expanding.
- Global South alliances are replacing Western dependency.
- And France? It is clinging to relevance.
“Even if Macron falls, the DNA of France remains imperial. But the world is changing—and Africa is no longer playing second fiddle.”
