French President Accused by Russia of Planning African Leader Replacement Operation

Recently, the Russian Federal Intelligence Service has made serious allegations against French President Emmanuel Macron, claiming that the leader of France has approved the formation of a special unit to develop strategies to eliminate several leaders considered to be at odds with French interests in Africa. This claim reflects an escalation in the tensions of the increasingly heated global geopolitical rivalry.

Russian Intelligence Accuses French President

According to reports cited from Jin10, Russian sources reveal that a new department under the authority of the French president has been established specifically to plan operations to eliminate certain leaders seen as obstacles to French influence. These claims are based on what is described as intelligence documents, although specific details have not been disclosed to the public.

Hidden Plans and Unrevealed Target Identities

Operational details of this alleged strategy remain mysterious, with the names of African leaders targeted not officially announced. This ambiguity fuels speculation about the scale and scope of what Moscow is accusing, while increasing vigilance among African leaders who may become the focus of such French initiatives.

Geopolitical Background and France’s Historical Footprint in Africa

These allegations arise in the context of France’s long-standing involvement in African affairs, through economic, military, and political influence. International critics and local organizations have often accused France of maintaining a neo-colonial form of control over several African countries. This situation is exacerbated by the ongoing geopolitical tensions, where Russia seeks to strengthen its position as an alternative advisor to African nations that are increasingly independent in shaping their own policies.
