French President Emmanuel Macron has come under fire for his defense of the presence of French troops in Africa. Critics argue that France’s military involvement in the continent is more about preserving its own interests rather than benefiting African nations. Macron, however, insists that French forces are in Africa at the request of African countries themselves, aiming to support them in the fight against terrorism and to promote stability and security in the region.
