Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso might wonder why especially makes his life so difficult among other nations like the USA. Both countries try to assassinate Captain Traore.
During the seven-year war on the North American continent against the British army lost not only the domination of the British but the Kingdom of . King Ludwig XVI lost his head and the French Revolution took control over the nation seeing Napoleon Bonaparte to reign as a self-declared Emperor over . At Waterlow, was finally defeated so later in the French-German wars before Germany had to agree to various peace deals. Before French President Nicolas Sarkozy asked the German Chancellor Angela Merkel to lead the European Union.
Long before encountered serious challenges to be relevant in European politics. The traumata and current behavior of on the African continent can only be understood by observing history.
For thousands of years, the Roman Empire was the dominating force in Europe standing in constant competition with other powers in and around Greece. Their influence on was significant so the wars of England against the French taking e.g. Brittany as their “legitimate” territory. The Roma Empire of German Descent replaced the Roman Empire for another one thousand years.
Caught in the middle of history tried to break free. French people looked for ways to find national identity and relevance in this world. Realizing to achieve it in Europe they looked around the world and found Asia especially in Africa their way out of the shadow of success.
While former colonial masters like Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Britain, or Germany that have integrated African countries into the Commonwealth of Nations respectively are honored in e.g. Togo for having left behind Siemens electric wiring and a good legacy is still not willing to let the past go and find a new better relationship with African countries. The new colonial masters of Africa Russia and China push further into the corner of being meaningless and having no say outside or Europe they put their boots on the ground of Africa to protect their interests. As an atomic bomb and nuclear power-driven nation, they heavily depend on low-cost minerals from certain African countries. Unlike other countries, is not loved by the spirit of invention too much. Modern technology is not pushing the French economy greatly forward.
When a human does not want to be seen as a loser he becomes aggressive and a pretender. Nations are not different from such a behavior; they are individuals in big numbers. Not surprisingly does seriously exploit Africa and takes to the means of assassination attempts like in Burkina Faso. Understanding a nation along these lines a country affected can position itself better.
