French Troops in Africa! Why Does France Have Military Bases In Africa? With the growing emergence of military coups in French colonies in sub-Saharan Africa, French military bases in Africa seem to be taking the hit. Recent coups in Mali and Niger were followed by a series of protests requesting that France withdraw her troops from these regions. French military bases in these two countries and Burkina Faso have close proximity. To add more, France is having a bad time as these countries have been relating to Russia in the past few months, which looks like a threat to the French, and considers it a Russia bid to reck its post-colonial ties with these countries.

These protests have been targeted at ending what they call French colonialism and imperialism. But here is the big question: Why does France have military bases in Africa? In addressing this burning question, we will uncover the historical, strategic, and geopolitical factors that have led to the establishment and retention of French military bases on the African continent.
