00:00France continues to have an empire in Africa.
00:03After World War II, there was a wave of movements decolonial in Africa and Asia.
00:08However, France wanted desperately to keep its colonies,
00:11and responded by force in Algeria, Madagascar and Indochine.
00:15In the 1960s, France gave independence to almost all its colonies.
00:20But there was a condition.
00:22In addition to their independence and to the foreign aid of France,
00:25a African country would sign an agreement with France.
00:29Through this agreement, they gave France rights on the natural resources of the country,
00:34allowed France to maintain troops on their territory,
00:37and the country had to use the France CFA as money.
00:41France presented this as a choice,
00:43but when the Guinée refused,
00:45France cut all the aid to the Guinée
00:47and did everything to destabilize its government.
00:50They succeeded, because the Guinée never left it.
00:53The countries using the France CFA do not have monetary sovereignty,
00:57because the value of their money is liée to the euro.
