Macron in Kenya: A Visit That Didn’t Go as Planned?

Added: 2026-05-16

[00:00:01]The French president, Emmanuel Macron, was in Kenya and said that he is more Pan-African than all African heads of state that were present in that [music] room, which was a hall whereby they hold their meeting.

[00:00:17]And mind you, the French president also claimed that the Sahel countries will regret their choice of choosing Russia >> [music] >> alongside France.

[00:00:29]They It is just a matter of time for them to come and actually regret why they chose Russia >> [music] >> against France.

[00:00:39]So, at the same time, the French radio, RTL, [music] claimed that France has a very, very good job in supporting terrorism that is happening in the Sahel.

[00:00:52]So, let's actually come together and discuss about all these things that we are hearing. So, I'm Wise Man, guys. Uh thank you for being with us.

[00:01:02]I really appreciate your work >> [music] >> and your time that you actually invest in to be part of this family.

[00:01:09]It's so [music] good and hilarious.

[00:01:12]Thank you.

[00:01:13]So, we are talking about the Macron's comments about being more Pan-African than Africans themselves.

[00:01:22]Macron, during a lecture that he was lecturing some of the African delegation, plus some even other leaders that were present on the ground, he said that France has a very big role to play in the Sahel.

[00:01:36]They said that even France has a big role to play in Africa because they know what Pan-Africanism means more than any other person that can talk about Pan-Africanism. So, in brief, the French are teaching Africans on how to love their continent.

[00:01:53]The same French people that are actually exploiting Africans in every country they are in.

[00:02:01]We have seen the countries of the Sahel, the countries of Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger chasing out France after the expulsion of the French troops in Mali, in Burkina Faso, and Niger.

[00:02:14]Chad, Senegal, and other countries also followed the same suit.

[00:02:19]And why?

[00:02:20]Right now the the French government is at odds with the government of Madagascar.

[00:02:26]And the reason they are giving is that the government of Madagascar is accusing France of having subversive activities that are aimed to overthrow the current government that was chosen by people.

[00:02:42]Remember the current government of Madagascar actually came as a result of large protests that overthrow President Rajoelina in Madagascar.

[00:02:53]So, the people of Madagascar are accusing France of having subversive activities against their country.

[00:03:01]So, those who are disguised as diplomats come to do also some dirty works.

[00:03:07]So, they end up being caught and expelled from Madagascar.

[00:03:11]So, this comes at the wake whereby all African countries have tightened their grip against the French media, the French activities, their economy, and other things that are actually being carried out by the French.

[00:03:28]So, what do you think about this, guys?

[00:03:29]Do you think that Africans should expel the French from Africa?

[00:03:34]Because what the French has done to Africa is enough.

[00:03:38]Just give us your opinion. Mr. President, today tomorrow at the dinner we will be serving some Kenyan tea that looks like French wine.

[00:03:51]What do you think about that?

[00:03:53]So, moving on Emmanuel Macron said that the governments of the Sahel are going to regret the decision they made to expel the French or to choose the Russians and leaving the French.

[00:04:09]The expulsion of the French troops from Burkina Faso was a result of ineffectiveness of the French troops.

[00:04:18]Since 2013, the French forces were in these countries, but nothing actually came out of them.

[00:04:25]So, the governments decided to terminate their contract and expel expel them from their land.

[00:04:32]In a return, the French have become more bitter and bitter.

[00:04:36]And right now, their media houses are claiming that the French people or the French government is supporting Tuareg separatists against the current government of Mali.

[00:04:50]So, the fact is that the Malians have held firm in their positions. They are fighting terrorists. Kidal is soon to be freed from terrorists. Anytime from now, you can receive news that Kidal is once again in the hands of the government.

[00:05:08]The attacks that were launched on 25th were one of the deadliest attacks in decades.

[00:05:15]Any country couldn't hold on that attacks.

[00:05:19]So, the attacks were carried out being supported by the media narrative and a media war against the country of Mali.

[00:05:28]Right now, after the attacks were foiled, the narrative have changed.

[00:05:34]They are trying to soften on the language against Mali.

[00:05:37]But the same forces trying to destabilize the country are the same source forces that are using also the media as their tool to actually control the narrative from these countries.

[00:05:50]Most of the channels have been banned in these channels.

[00:05:54]Even the access to their websites are so controlled by the government. You can won't access any information from these channels.

[00:06:01]These channels have been used to manipulate the public opinion for so long.

[00:06:07]So, in return, the governments have revoked their licenses and expelled them from uh their countries.

[00:06:16]First, can you imagine? Just imagine one thing.

[00:06:19]Reporting in a country, you're reporting about a country whereby you don't have even an office in that country.

[00:06:27]You know?

[00:06:28]You're even saying that you're relying on terrorist sources. Does that make sense? Which kind of professionalism do you hold as a person or as a journalist?

[00:06:41]So, the degeneration of Western media has accelerated their termination from the Sahel.

[00:06:48]So, no one actually should ask why they were terminated.

[00:06:52]So, leaving that, the operations against terrorists in Mali are intensifying day by day.

[00:06:58]The Malian armed forces, being helped by the African Corps, are carrying out numerous attacks on terrorist strongholds in the country. They're hunting down uh the terrorists from cities, wherever they are. Even some of them are trying to block some countries also to block some roads so that the commercial the businesses don't go as it is planned. So, they are being hunted day by day wherever they are hiding.

[00:07:28]So, this is what we are seeing.

[00:07:30]Not only in Mali or Burkina Faso, but also in Niger.

[00:07:34]Thank you for being with us.
