00:17 As soon as Macron announced the departure of France to Nigeria, the Elysée prepares
00:22 macabre and fallacious strategies on Nigerian soil, according to Kemi Seba, a renowned Pan-Africanist
00:27 activist .
00:28 According to Kemi Seba, it is crucial that the Nigerian population understand that the
00:33 alleged departure of France is only a maneuver to buy time.
00:36 He claims that the Nigerian people clearly expressed their wish to see the French army
00:40 leave as soon as possible.
00:42 He strongly criticizes Macron's arrogant attitude, which seems to consider that he
00:47 has just decided when the colonizers have to fold their bags.
00:50 Kemi Seba was welcomed by a crowd in Lyon.
00:54 His visit to the country is not limited to symbolic meetings, but also aims to comment
00:59 on recent events that shake Nigeria, in particular the announcement of the withdrawal of the
01:03 1,500 French soldiers.
01:04 The announcement of the withdrawal of French troops was welcomed favorably by many
01:09 Nigerians.
01:10 Over the past few weeks, several demonstrations against the French military presence have
01:15 gathered tens of thousands of people in Niamey.
01:18 However, even if it seems less likely, the threat of an armed intervention by the
01:23 CDAO still plagues the country.
01:25 Kemi Seba denounces the leaders of the CDAO who continue to threaten and attack
01:30 Nigeria.
01:31 For him, this is an economic war and an asphyxiation imposed on the Nigerian population.
01:36 He calls for a general mobilization to resist this war, and emphasizes that Nigeria is
01:41 not alone in this struggle.
01:43 As for the withdrawal calendar of French troops, the Nigerian government
01:48 recalls that a common agreement with Paris must be established.
01:51 On their side, the United States, which has 1,100 soldiers stationed in Nigeria, also
01:57 envisages a possible withdrawal.
01:58 President Emmanuel Macron confirmed that France will withdraw its military and diplomats
02:04 from Nigeria following the successful coup by anti-French forces.
02:08 This decision will lead to the departure of about 1,500 soldiers by the end of the year.
02:13 France has decided to withdraw its ambassador.
02:16 In the coming hours, our ambassador and several diplomats will return to France,
02:22 said Macron during an interview.
02:24 He also announced the end of military cooperation with the Nigerian authorities,
02:29 specifying that the repatriation of French troops will be carried out in the coming months.
02:32 It should be noted that the pro-French Nigerian president, Mohamed Bazoum, was overthrown
02:38 during a military coup in July, thus marking a turn in relations
02:42 between France and Nigeria.
02:44 The issue of the withdrawal of foreign forces, especially French, from Nigeria remains
02:49 a burning and complex subject.
02:51 The massive demonstrations and passionate statements of Kemi Seba testify to the importance
02:56 of this issue for the Nigerian people.
