 I was shocked to learn from the book Broken Money how France, to this day, continues to subjugate and impoverish poor African countries through the CFA franc. 

And when anyone seeks monetary independence and opposes the franc, they are assassinated. 

I wonder how many French know that their country steals from poor Africans? 
 Certainement pas assez.  
 I was working in Gabon years ago when the CFA was devalued to the French franc by 50% overnight. It’s a fairly efficient theft system
