Many African countries gained their independence in 1960, although the French and British continued to play crucial roles in destabilizing African economies and installed puppet governments. France and its allies are currently concerned about the increasing influence of Russia across the continent, especially in the Sahel region, which was previously referred to as “French home turf.”

Watch the latest episode of Anna Chapman’s show, which is dedicated to the battle for Africa that is unfolding right before our eyes.
