France and the causes

Whilst the french dwarf struts around waving the Eu flag and trying to ignore the latest yellow fashion garments worn in cities right across the country possibly he should take a look at other things ... possibly France is the cause of misery and the migrants leaving Africa to join him


African migration: Is the CFA franc forcing people to leave? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-46960532


Luigi Di Maio, Italian Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the populist Five Star Movement, has blamed France for impoverishing Africa and encouraging migration to Europe.
He accused the French government of manipulating the economies of mainly former French colonies in Africa, which use a form of the pre-independence currency known as a CFA franc.
"France is one of those countries that by printing money for 14 African states prevents their economic development and contributes to the fact that the refugees leave and then die in the sea or arrive on our coasts," said Mr Di Maio.
So what is the CFA franc and does it harm African countries?

Hi

Being lectured by Macron is like being lectured by Blair.

I do not take kindly to it and in fact do entirely the opposite of what they want.

The more they tell me to remain, the more determined I am to leave.
