Even more ignominious is the fact that France has assassinated 22 African Presidents since 1963. During the last 50 years, 67 coups happened in 26 countries of Africa. 16 of those countries are french ex-colonies, which means 61% of the coups happened in Francophone Africa.
According to German publication Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten, the former colonies of France must put $418 billion (400 Billion Euros) into the French treasury on annual basis. The French economy is surviving on Africa's economic subjugation.

There were 147.5 million people in those 14 countries of Africa which are paying colonial debt to France as of 2013. This further explains that each person in the former colonies of France is paying an annual colonial tax of $2824 — almost $3000 — to the French govt.

The “Defence Agreements” along with the Colonial Pact signed by the African countries allows France to deploy troops and intervene military whenever they deem necessary. There are permanent French bases in former colonies of Africa.
