On July 27, 2007, French President Nicolas Sarkozy delivered a speech at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, Senegal.
[3] The candidate Nicolas Sarkozy, before his election to the French presidency, advocated the end of Françafrique, in favor of the development of a simple partnership between France and Africa.
However, it is well known that the image of France in Africa has deteriorated since the law on recognition of the Nation and national contribution in favor of repatriated French people (in particular article 4, finally repealed, on the recognition in school curricula, the positive role of the French presence overseas) in 2005 and the immigration policy chosen with the law of July 24, 2006 on immigration and integration1.
It is in this context that Nicolas Sarkozy, accompanied by ministers Bernard Kouchner, Jean-Marie Bockel and Rama Yade, is on an African tour which began in Libya on July 25.
In this universe where nature commands everything, man remains motionless in the midst of an immutable order where everything is written in advance.
