Reactions to Macron's Africa remarks - BBC Africa

Senegal and Chad have reacted strongly to remarks by French President Emmanuel Macron about African countries being ungrateful over France's role in helping fight militant jihadist insurgencies. On Monday, Macron said that Sahel states "forgot" to thank France for its role, amid the continuing withdrawal of French troops from West African countries. He said no Sahelian nation would be a sovereign nation without France's intervention that prevented them from falling under the control of militants. In response, Chad's Foreign Minister Abderaman Koulamallah said Macron comments had revealed his contempt for Africa. #macronafrica #africanews #focusonafrica Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica Website: https://www.bbc.com/africa Facebook:   / bbcnewsafrica   Twitter:   / bbcafrica   Instagram:   / bbcafrica
