The article below from the Telegraph is a glimpse into the dark soul of official France and their reflexive hatred of the traditions, values and inclinations of what they call the "anglosaxon." While to Europeans and other westerners, it provides another opportunity to ridicule la Grande Nation, to the less fortunate and defenseless in the back waters of Africa where Gaullist France bestrides, this reflexive hatred for the anglosaxon has deadly consequences.
Some have described this French pathology as the Fashoda Syndrome, which can has been loosely defined as an irrational fear and hatred of the "anglosaxons" by France borne out of the humiliation and surrender of French forces under Jean Baptist Marchand in Fashoda (present day Sudan) to the command of the British forces led by Horatio Herbert Kitchener in 1898.
While the British seem to have left the past behind to the point of having a non-agression pact with the French; to the point of giving Africans (the Southern Cameroons) as "little gifts" to France; the French are yet to be cured of their disease.
In Africa, where since the days of the European predation of slavery, France is allowed to give full flourish to their instincts conditioned by the Fashoda Syndrome the cost has been steep for Africans. In Rwanda, one million Africans, ironically mostly French-speakers or potential French-speakers were decimated with the active training, encouragement and participation of official France because of the "anglosaxon menace" of the Rwanda Patriotic Front who France saw as proxies of the United States of America and their anglo allies in Uganda and Tanzania. For us in the Southern Cameroons, the genocide is of a slow and systematic type, done with the active conspiracy and blessing of Britain in the 21st century.

While to Europeans and other westerners, it provides another opportunity to ridicule la Grande Nation, to the less fortunate and defenseless in the back waters of Africa where Gaullist France bestrides, this reflexive hatred for the anglosaxon and any African shift away from French "economic patriotism" has had deadly consequences: 400,000 killed in République du Cameroun in the Bamileke Genocide; 1,000,000 killed in Rwanda; 250,000 killed in the Pool of Congo-Brazzaville, countless massacres from Algeria to Madagascar; a surrogate war in the Ivory Coast today all in defense of what Mr. Seillière kindly described as French "economic patriotism."
We in the Southern Cameroons, being anglosaxons in the brutal French colony due to a racist British plot sees France's "economic patriotism" as an incompetent and corrupt venture based on lies, cheating, fraud, repression and death. We live it everyday in the worst possible way since the British in 1961, against legality and morality, opted in DeGaulle's own words to make us "a little gift to France from the Queen of England."
