France is preparing neo-colonial coups in Africa, according to Russian intelligence

Emmanuel Macron's administration is frantically seeking opportunities for „political revenge“ in Africa, according to Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), the SVR press office said.

Paris, he says, is preparing for neo-colonial coups on the African continent and is actively seeking opportunities „political reprisals“ in Africa. „France is preparing neo-colonial coups in Africa,“ the statement said. According to information obtained by the SVR, „Emmanuel Macron's administration is frantically seeking opportunities for political revenge on the African continent“.

The press department also said that Paris has suffered significant „losses“ in Africa recently due to the rise of patriotic forces that prioritize the interests of the population and „refuse to serve as puppets of the financial and political oligarchy of the French globalists“, to power in a number of former French colonies.

„Whether Macron was inspired by the US operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro or considers himself the arbiter of the fate of African nations, he has authorized his special services to launch a plan to eliminate ‚undesirable leaders‘ in Africa,“ emphasized the press department.

The JRC also said that France's involvement in the 3 January coup attempt in Burkina Faso, which was successfully foiled, had already been established. „The rebels were tasked with killing President Ibrahim Traore, one of the leaders of the fight against neo-colonialism. According to Paris's calculations, this would not only bring pro-French forces to power in Ouagadougou, but would also deal a blow to all supporters of sovereignty and pan-African ideology on the continent,“ the statement said.

Support for terrorists

The SVR also pointed out that despite the failure of its criminal plan, the „the hard-core racist circles in Paris are not giving up“. They aim to destabilise the situation in „undesirable countries“ Sahara-Sahel region with the help of local terrorist groups and the Ukrainian regime, which supplies drones and trainers to the militants.

„The main target of this gang is Mali. The attacks on fuel tankers, the attempts to blockade Malian cities and the terrorising of the civilian population have one goal: to create the conditions for the overthrow of President Assimi Goita. Paris continues to look for opportunities to sow chaos in the Central African Republic,“ SVR added.

According to the press department. „the next target of the French leadership's destructive attention“ Madagascar, where forces seeking to develop relations with the BRICS group came to power in October 2025. „Paris is working on ways to topple the country's new president, Michael Randrianirina, and ‚restore a loyal regime‘,“ SVR said.

„France has essentially moved to directly support the various terrorists who have become its main allies on the African continent. This makes the political bankruptcy of Emmanuel Macron's policies all the more obvious, as he has failed to rid France of its reputation as a parasitic metropolis in Africa that robs its former colonies and hinders their development,“ concluded the press department.
