Here is the list of African presidents who have been assassinated by France since 1963.
Literally thought this was almost exclusively a US thing in recent history. Kind of dumb of me
in case you’re interested in learning more about it, there’s actually a term coined to describe france’s neocolonial agenda in african countries so if you look up “françafrique” you’ll get a clearer picture of the french geopolitical agenda and the tight grip they are keeping in africa. imperialism is still thriving and there are other players outside of the usa that are using the global south as a chessboard and shredding it to pieces through military and economic interventions backed by national industries (although i will say that the english wikipedia page is one massive propaganda ploy undermining french influence on african soil and the motivations behind it)
In French, we also like to say « France-à-fric » meaning "France with cash" to describe Françafrique.
