As a strong advocate for economic and financial freedom, I believe that all people should be able to control their own money and make independent decisions regarding their wealth. The situation regarding the CFA Franc is indeed concerning, as it has been criticized by many for perpetuating past colonial ties and potentially limiting the economic sovereignty of participating African nations.
Ultimately, though, it is up to these nations to decide what monetary system they wish to utilize. If they wish to achieve greater independence in this realm, it will require concerted effort on their part - either working together or each on an individual basis - in order to drive change from within.
Indeed,the principles of Liberté, égalité et fraternité laid out by France can serve as important guiding pillars towards achieving greater autonomy. However,I also believe that these principle should be implemented in the best interest of individuals and not form some parochial reasons more so when it come independent economical legislation
