Lets see, sale of dozens of fighters including Rafale, helicopters and other militaria. Massive infrastructure spending. Prefered bidder status on all oil contracts and a possible EPR nuclear plant.
You were selling Rafale back then to Gaddafi..
Its all intention not firm commitment and by the way France should be wary of the Brits and Yankees who usually beat in arm twisting
By the way Areva has not signed single contract for nuclear power plants.
It wasn't struggling under Sarko. He kicked some ass.
Sarko is no longer here and its not that he returned the France-Afrique heydays when he was in power.
China is already a key player in this region surpassing by far French.
Not really, we reclaimed Cote d'Ivoir, gained new ground making Libya a client state and now we will regain ties with our old Syrian colony.
Ivory Coast you joking fighting for what Cocoa plantations.
Its not even reclaim at best intel services might have played a role in getting Laurent out.
If they start acting up it will. Lets hope they don't play it that smart.

They are already blocking streets and praying there, there are no go zone for police in suburbs and most importantly your country instead of continuing forward is having to fight medieval people who perform excision,polygamy, veiling women etc.
I don't even recall Putin visiting Syria. He is in France a couple times a year.
Putin in France just like Sarko in Russia.
He has a naval presence there in Tartus unlike France.
It isn't civilian when used for military purposes. Turkey already proved that.
How do you know?
Do you trust Erdogan the megalomaniac who wants the Ottoman empire back.
Anyway France supporting Terrorist and then taunting people about liberty,fraternity and equality is complete bollocks.
