SHOCKING! These African Nations Still Pay Colonial Tax In 2025. Full List Here!

#africanews #france The world says that colonialism ended decades ago, but do you want to know the truth? Some African countries are still bound by the roots of colonialism, especially those colonized by France. While some leaders are currently struggling to break free, others have become so used to this evil system and taken advantage of it to enrich themselves. Recent reports reveal that decades after Independence, France continued to exert its influence on some African countries through what is known as colonial tax. According to France, these African countries ought to pay for the cost of infrastructure and buildings it built over 100 years ago. How does this make sense? It doesn't but that is the reality of 14 African countries. In this video, we will give you a background history of how the tax came to be, the impacts in African countries, and how some countries are breaking free. In 2019, a diplomatic row erupted between France and Italy over increased migration to Europe, with Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio accusing France of impoverishing African countries, stating that “If today we still have people leaving Africa, it is due to several European countries, first of all France, that didn't finish colonizing Africa”. He further said that France was controlling the economies of 14 African countries that use the CFA franc, a CFA franc-backed currency pegged to the Euro. He then added: "If France didn't have its African colonies, because that's what they should be called, it would be the 15th largest world economy. Instead, it's among the first, exactly because of what it is doing in Africa." It's been a few years since Italy's prime minister made this statement, and even before that, questions have been asked like "Is France really robbing its former African colonies? Is the current relationship between African countries and France preventing successful African development and sovereignty?"
