President Emmanuel Macron is to outline on Monday France’s new strategy for Africa, where anti-French sentiment is running high in some of its former colonies.
His speech at the presidential palace comes two days ahead of a four-nation tour of central African countries, as Paris seeks to counter growing Chinese and Russian influence in the region.
Macron is to visit Gabon for an environmental summit, followed by Angola, then the Republic of Congo, or Congo-Brazzaville, and finally the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.
The president has insisted Africa is a priority of his second mandate in power, and in July he undertook a trip to Cameroon, Benin and Guinea-Bissau.
Welcome to the multipolar world.

"We were colonized and forgave those who colonized us.
Now,the colonizers are asking us to be enemies of Russia,who never colonized us.
Is that fair?
Not for us,their enemies are their enemies,our friends are our friends"
