Shameful how they treat their own people as colonizers would.
We thank the french govt for this wonderful act of kindness, now they should apply the same law to themselves and return all the billions they have and are still embezzling from francophone africa
Its just a shame how the african elite are useless to say the least you take revenue from the helpless to enrich the economies of your colonizers
Well Said! This is from an African American. *TUKO PAMOJA (WE ARE TOGETHER!).*
hhhhh i love you u nailed it
@@shakanawao5950 why are you African American, were you born in Africa?
The audacity of France and Western Imperialism. Don't worry, France will be majority muslim by 2053 - 2055.
It's crazy how there are people defending this horrible guy in the comments
I wonder! But those are the dynamics of us Africa. We stuck in the colonial era instead of moving forward. Start from somewhere.
No one is defending him . . but this is the likely scenario from here on out . . . The ill-gotten gains (including the 30 Million euro fine) will be consumed by the very kind French ministry . . as "NO MECHANISM EXISTS FOR COMPENSATION OF THE PEOPLE OF EG YET", which really means that most of that stays with France and a small fraction will be "kindly" sent as foreign aid . . . .this aid will then be configated by various corupt government groups and will be divided mostly amonst its working population to keep that Oil a-flowing . . . so the real victims will continue being the poor people of EG . . so this is nothing but a publicity stunt and cash grab by the French government . . . which is this guy is never going to spent a day in prison or care about any of these show trails . . He knows their country feeds greedy western interests in exchange for political protection and a reasonable slice of the pie.
Why one person need to much money? And the money gathered through illegal means...
Goes on all over Africa
Exactly. It's how things are done in Africa. And the people seem to allow it too as if it's their right as elite 😂😂 unbelievable
I hope all African countries see this
Where will that money go
If France doesn't find a way to give this money back to the people of Equatorial Guinea it will be just as bad.. France doesn't have a clean history in Africa, but we should give it the benefit of the doubt.. let's see how the story proceeds
France is crooked.
Meanwhile Sarkozy is walking freely , another example of France's typical racist and colonialist mindset.
It's relevant because the international community's political will to punish corruption and war crimes only extends to punishing African leaders. Western politicians never get brought in front off the ICC or get caught up in international investigations. Punishing wrongdoers is always good, but some balance would be appreciated
Santiago Bron Spanish.
Brother Malcolm Sarkozy has been arrested
@@Mystuff4141
And he just got convicted.
They need to do the same thing in haiti
Same thing everywhere especially France
*Definitely not good a Butler* ..lol
I understood that French and France authorities are envious of the dude
who cares if France were envious of the thief, he stole money from his people while looking them in the eyes.
Poppet💩
Sure keep the money, earn crazy interest then eventually "return" it… how about you sue your own country for what they did to Africa too…
Y’all just gonna keep the money huh?
"whores"?? really... you couldn't have chosen a better word?
Like prostitutes?
They must always do this
Well will see true morality if France will do the same in Cameroun ,togo congo and gabon .
Equitorial guinea is a rich country, the only sub Saharan Africa nation who became a developed nation in 2005-2010 with a GDP per Capita of $22,000 but sadly their economy has gone down with a current per Capita income of $11,000
GDP percapita is not real.
I mean yah french people are more clever and understand the meaning of leadership and democracy
Because he didn’t do as Macron wants. We remember criminal Sarkozy.
But why France? This is absurd!
MONEY!! isnt is obvious
Cleptocrats...love it!
PureAmbition33 *Kleptocrat
Kleptocrats
france is the cause of the curroption ...
So in guinea there is no Courts of law. Why are African downgrading themselves. This is Shame to the condinent of Africa. I haven't heard any French politician being tried in African Courts of law.
