West African Niger's military coup has been unknown to this day. West Africa's economic community has opened this Sunday (August 6) to surrender power for the military and restore constitutional government period, otherwise military intervention is likely; Senegal has stated that he is willing to be willingFollowing West Africa's communities; national defense leaders of the community are also preparing for this meeting.When the two military governments of Mali and Burkina supported the Niger military and the military intervention in Niger was invading the two countries, Western Africa's multinational warfire may be about to outbreak.

However, in Niger's coup, a major theme that it is difficult for people to ignore is to support the military government's anti -French people.The first target of the people who support military coup to support military coup are the French Embassy in the capital Niamei; the theme of the demonstration slogan is anti -French, anti -colonization, and Russia;On the occasion of West Africa's communist over time (August 3), the two major actions of the military government were to stop the broadcast of French media and suspend military cooperation with French in the local area of 1,500 garrisons.

The development of this series of events, for Macron, who is on vacation in President Xia Gong and Bregamonburg, southern France, can be said to be again a political shock.

When we came to power in 2017, Macron was the first president born in France after the colonial era. It is the main axis of its foreign policy to reconstruction and mutual trust with the former French colonial country.Since six years, Macron has visited Africa 18 times.In the African schedule in March this year, "humility", "partnership", and "investment" are the main axis of the policy hanging on the edge of the mouth.He declared that the days of "FRAN? Afrique" had "really passed" and raised "equal partnerships".Earlier, he even said that the relationship between France and Africa was "a love story."

In actual action, Macron has indeed carried out a series of "semi -atonement" work for many years.He has publicly acknowledged that colonial France's treatment of Algerians "has no excuses that can be argued"; he apologized for France's inaction of the Rwanda race in 1994;It is also agreed that the central bank of West Africa to put half of the Overseas assets in the French Ministry of Finance is expected to be replaced by ECOs of Western African Community in 2027.

For African youths who are particularly dissatisfied with colonialism, Macron also actively communicated directly with civic society in many African countries during his tenure, hoping to create a French -African relationship with no historical burden.

Since 2020, Mali and Burkina Fedo have experienced two military coup each other. After the military government hugs the Wagner Group in Russia and drives away the French army, Macron also draws on the French anti -terrorism and anti -jihad in the two countries.Organizing lessons, there will be no past French garrison, and replace it with new military partnerships. The main force allows France to retreat behind the scenes and only for support and training.The French army stationed in Niger is the experimental venue of this new military partnership.

With the "Huairou Policy" of the President Badham, who came to power in 2021, the number of violent clashes in Niger has indeed declined significantly in the past two years.In contrast, Mali and Burkina Faso under the governance of the military government have encountered a sharp rise in the number of violent clashes.

However, the actual policy and even the positive results of actual policies may not be reflected on the sense of people's perception.Although the Vigner Group replaced the French army to help Mali counter -terrorism, the number of violent conflicts increased sharply, but according to the polls of a German think tank, the Mali people generally had no sense of security to Russia.

In its new African policy, Macron has two major missing.First, he did not understand that France and colonialism had a deep -rooted and difficult -to -cut connection in the hearts of many people. This was not changed by any short -term action.Therefore, even if Macron really intends to establish a new French and non -relationship, the action is not enough. Any attitude that can be interpreted as "colonialism" will be infinitely magnified.Selected in France was criticized by netizens; it refused to formally "seek forgiveness" for French colonial Algeria for the formation of French colonial Algeria out of French domestic political considerations, and also became a stumbling block for the two countries to resolve historical entanglements.

When the negative signboard of "France" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Macron's African New Deal should actually be dominated by "EU", rather than the name of "France" or "French".In the past six years, it has not been able to transition "French and African relations" into "European Africa relations", which is the second largest lack of Macron.

If the Niger military coup has eventually embarked on the old way for Mali and Burkina Faso, it will be the third major setback of Macron Africa's New Deal.
