Neocolonialism in Africa: the point of view of Ambassador Stéphane Hessel
Neocolonialism in Africa: the point of view of Ambassador Stéphane Hessel
Stéphane HESSEL, former French ambassador to Africa, is interviewed on the report he gave to Michel Rocard on the situation in Africa. He believes that French cooperation in Africa over the past 30 years is, for the most part, akin to neocolonialism. The African continent is experiencing great changes that it is necessary to accompany. Philippe LEFAIT spoke of the words of the director of the central fund for economic cooperation, Mr Postel-Vinay, who denounced corruption. The former ambassador confirms that corruption is real, but that responsibility is shared between African leaders and western democracies who have turned a blind eye to embezzlement and patronage complacency.
