How did France maintain its influence in its former African colonies? To what extent did it go to protect its interests? This second episode of the 5-part series on African coups provides an overview on France's post-independence Africa policy. France managed to exert significant influence on newly independent countries. But it also intervened extensively to keep pro-French politicians in power. We explore the reasons behind France's poor reputation in the region.
