Ahmed Kaballo of African Stream on Currency and resource control in Africa by France...

(time stamped audio below)

"Total Domination so the 14 uh french-speaking African countries they use the uh the Frank and the Frank's currency 50 of it is held in

Paris and they get to dictate how that money is spent what it's spent on so you know

this this kind of pipeline that's going through Nigeria to Niger the Nigerians

benefit absolutely nothing from it because they don't have sovereignty over to decide whether you know the

pipeline's going to go through in the first place what is it going to benefit the people of Niger where most people

don't have access to gas 90 85 percent of people don't have access to

electricity um it I mentioned before about it has the first right of refusal so we're

always told that what underpins capitalism is competition but they make sure there is no competition that these

uh former colonies that never really got their independence uh I'm not allowed to trade with who

they want at favorable terms when countries try to leave the CFA Frank like guinea did uh in the 60s the French

destroyed all the infrastructure that they claim they built um when Togo tried to leave the

president was assassinated in front of the U.S U.S embassy Thomas Sankara spoke

spoke out against the CFA Frank spoke out against uh the cancellation of debt uh was assassinated so it's complete

Total Domination um on the political sphere on the economic sphere on the trade sphere

um and and that's why you know so many people are coming out in this year in support of the queue like I said it's

not that the people are obsessed with army officials it's just that they know the definition of insanity as Albert

Einstein said is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results and if you continue with you

know these kind of neocolonial Puppets that serve the interest of a foreign country while you remain the second

poorest country in the world with 85 of the country not connected to electrical

grid then uh something needs to change something needs to change and they think that the French domination is the reason..."
