| Summary/Abstract |
IN AFRICA, France is guided by its economic interests and, to a certain extent, political considerations rooted in traditions, social relationships, issues of French influence, and its national pride. From the first days of his presidency, Emmanuel Macron, the eighth president of the Fifth Republic, has been talking about changing his country's African policy to a "soft power" of sorts. Nobody, neither the Élysée Palace, nor capitals of Francophone African countries nor other external actors with interests of their own on the continent have so far answered whether this can be done at all.

| Summary/Abstract |
MAJOR political changes are currently taking place in West and Central Africa. France is losing ground in the African countries that used to be its colonies, although it still considers them its indisputable sphere of influence. And this is not a one-way street. The African countries themselves are trying to move away from traditional dependence on a single donor, sponsor or patron and to expand their cooperation horizons.

| Summary/Abstract |
TWENTY YEARS have passed since what looked at first glance like a senseless slaughter in Rwanda in which one million of its citizens lost their lives. Today, wars and conflicts unfolding in other regions of our planet invited a closer scrutiny of the Rwandan slaughter. There is a strong possibility that certain politicians stirred up nationalists and pushed peoples into the bloodshed to satisfy their geopolitical ambitions and that the interests of the United States and Europe clashed there. This is confirmed by the deliberate inattention of Europe otherwise inclined to moralizing and by the deliberately passive response of the UN Security Council. We should go to the roots of the developments in Rwanda to better understand what have happened in the world since then.

| Summary/Abstract |
FOR A SHORT WHILE, the Europeans followed the military operation of France in Mali, a long-suffering and appallingly poor African country, by Euronews coverage which showed how jubilant dark-skinned Malians greeted French soldiers in the streets of liberated Sahel towns with French flags. Reality, however, was not that simple. The truth behind the developments in Mali and the haste with which none other than France turned up in the sands of the Sahara to defeat the "Islamic fundamentalists" is concealed in Malian history.
