Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Déby has expressed strong disapproval of recent comments made by French President Emmanuel Macron, describing them as dismissive towards Africa and its people.
“I would like to express my indignation at the remarks recently made by President Emmanuel Macron, which verge on contempt for Africa and Africans,” President Déby stated. “I sincerely believe he is mistaken about the times we live in.”
The remarks reflect rising tensions in Franco-African relations, as several African leaders increasingly voice opposition to perceived paternalistic attitudes from Western nations.
