Mitterrand warned that if France ever lost her de facto African colonies, then France would be permanently poor. Later Chirac repeated this warning. Well now it's happening. Africa is kicking the disgusting French imperialists out for good. Macron warns against pessimism, but pessimism is realism

In 1957, while serving as a prominent minister during the Fourth Republic (and writing in his book Présence française et abandon), François Mitterrand famously warned:

"Without Africa, France will have no history in the 21st century."

Jacques Chirac (2005 / widely cited transcript):

"We bled Africa for four and a half centuries... a large part of the money in our banks comes precisely from the exploitation of the African continent."

Jacques Chirac (March 2008):

"Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third-world power."
