So Macron is going to be changing the way islamist prisoners are being handled, mainly by regrouping them all in one area. At the same time, he unveils a massive plan to identify and take action against anti-republican radicalization. http://mobile.lemonde.fr/societe/ar...61478_3224.html This makes me smile. On dit souvent que les capitalistes vous vendront la corde pour les pendre. Là, c’est pratique, ils ouvrent eux-mêmes les camps fermés de rééducation idéologique dans lesquels on ne se privera pas de tous les enfermer quand on aura pris le pouvoir. Après tout, le capitalisme n’est-il pas contraire aux valeurs de liberté et d’égalité qui forment le socle de nos principes républicains ?

Well at least it explains why Collomb's policies seem to be taken straight out of Le Pen's playbook, he's probably convinced that Le Pen won the election. In other news Khaled Freak continues to own https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UVOEtQ3G9I

So huh what's the plan with the SNCF ? On a related note according to that link we're only beat by japan for best rail network, metrics unspecified (and a few other countries that don't count because their system is ridiculously small next to ours, like Hong Kong (lol)) Idk about their source though.

The plan, as always, is to modernize the country by rolling back on every social progress reform made since the 18th century. The bold new vision for a competitive and modern France is the Ancien Régime.

The countries still using one of the two kind of CFA franc generally lack both. Also in 1985, Equatorial Guinea, a former Spanish colony, joined the CFA zone, as did the former Portuguese colony of Guinea-Bissau in 1997. Bitching about the franc cfa in Africa is like bitching about the Euro in Europe: it's popular amongst the population, far less amongst the local economists (who think a unified money is an important part of economical integration in Africa and a good way to dodge a Zimbabwe inflation scenario) and the local elite. Now personally i don't mind every countries voluntarily exiting the Franc CFA as long as they agree anything that whatever happens next is their own drat fault and not an evil Frenchmen plan but hey it's not going to happen (both the exiting and the not blaming parts).

There are two different CFAs, one in West Africa and one in Central Africa. They each have their own central banks, respectively in Dakar, Senegal for the West African CFA, and in Yaoundé, Cameroon for the Central African CFA. These central banks have African governors and are independent. However, they have an agreement where they keep reserve funds in the French central bank and in exchange France guarantees a fixed rate convertibility between CFA francs and euros. They are allowed to renegotiate the exchange rate, though they never did so. They are also allowed to unilaterally put an end to this agreement if so they chose, getting the reserve funds back and letting the exchange rate float freely, but again, they never did so. Countries are free to leave the CFA and to start issuing their own currency if they so wish, and several have done just that. But on the other hand, there were a few countries that never were French colonies in the first place, and that used to have their own currency, which adopted the CFA. Most recently Guinea-Bissau (a former Portuguese colony) in 1997. Interestingly, Mali left the CFA in 1962 and then rejoined it in 1984, after its new independent currency had lost half its value. So it seems stability is the reason why they've kept this system.

About that... http://www.dw.com/en/protests-mount-against-africas-colonial-cfa-currency/a-40640904 quote:For many African economists, the CFA is an instrument of "monetary repression." France is represented on the board of the two central banks of West and Central Africa and has veto power. According to Sylla, African countries should leave the zone and consider setting up their own common currency in the region. In the long-term, a weaker currency could also create more incentives for growth and jobs, he says. I was hoping for some real explanation, and what you're giving me is evidently a whitewashed simplification

As part of the convertibility agreement, France has a representative in the BCEAO and two in the BEAC, the same amount in both case as every other involved country. But there's no veto power, this is a claim made by someone who has an axe to grind. https://lanouvelletribune.info/2017/10/franc-cfa-gouverneur-bceao-verite/

I don’t read French so that article doesn’t mean anything to me. Anyways, the claim isn’t in quotes. That France has a veto in both central banks is being written as fact by Deutsche Welle e: Or are you claiming that DW has “an axe to grind”?

That France has a veto in both central banks is being written as fact by Deutsche Welle googling this, it seems reasonable that some journalist has misunderstood a political statement to be a purely factual one, and the editor hasn't caught it no doubt france maintains undue influence over the francophonie through this currency arrangement, but there does genuinely not seem to be any formal right of veto in regards to the central banks. there might be some de facto veto power (certainly some political figures in the francophonie claim as much) but this is not a formal arrangement this is not unheard of - in my country, there's no legal minimum wage, but union agreements are ubiquitous enough that people believe that there is anyway

But you accept it at face value because he is Pan African. *he literally went to jail for calling a public official in Africa a "Zionist scum."

Kémi Séba's Russia bonus: "In December 2017, he was invited to Moscow by the Russian nationalist intellectual Aleksandr Dugin to talk about the need to create a geopolitical alliance between the Pan-Africanist and Eurasian movements in order to join forces against hegemony of the West, and consolidate the political project of a multipolar world."
