A diplomatic row has erupted as several African nations responded to French President Emmanuel Macron’s recent remarks during a Conference of Ambassadors in Paris.
Macron accused African leaders of “forgetting to thank France” for its role in combating terrorism in the Sahel, sparking criticism and rejection from African governments.
The remarks have been described as dismissive, with African leaders emphasizing their sovereignty and contributions to regional security efforts. This incident highlights growing tensions in Franco-African relations.
