The exploitation of Africa and the neocolonial policies of French imperialism

The exploitation of Africa and the neocolonial policies of French imperialism

Author: The Communists September 18, 2026 Duration: 17:25
Eléonore Koffi | 1 August 2026 Why is it that Africa continues to suffer from such abject poverty when it is home to such enormous riches? France’s continuing prosperity and ability to maintain itself as a ‘leading’ country in the world is reliant on the relentless plunder of its former colonies – and it has set up a complex web of financial, political and military mechanisms to ensure the steady flow of loot from west and central African lands into Parisian coffers. The emergence of a sovereign Sahel has seriously undermined this arrangement, and France’s imperialist economy is suffering badly as a result. Meanwhile, the desperate attempts to recover this lost paradise are receiving considerable help from France’s imperialist allies. In March, 800 French military personnel arrived in the port of Mombasa aboard three warships. They have been gifted a permanent base there by the Nato-allied regime in Nairobi, meaning that Kenya now has three imperialist occupation forces on its territory. ------------------------------------------- Subscribe!

Tune into Proletarian Radio for a grounded and unflinching look at the world through a Marxist lens. Produced by The Communists, this regular broadcast cuts through the noise of mainstream news to offer a class-based perspective on unfolding political crises, international conflicts, and the struggles of working people everywhere. Each episode delves into current events with a focus on material analysis, drawing from the theoretical framework of scientific socialism as developed by the CPGB-ML. You’ll hear detailed discussions that connect daily headlines to broader historical and economic forces, providing context often missing from other reports. This isn't just commentary; it's a tool for understanding the root causes of inequality and imperialism. The aim is to arm listeners with knowledge that informs action, fostering a deeper comprehension of how to challenge the status quo. For those seeking a substantive alternative to conventional news cycles, this podcast serves as both an educational resource and a call to collective organisation. The conversations here are built on the principle that to change the world, one must first systematically understand it.
