What cause is sown, what fruit will be fruitful, France colonized and plundered in Africa, suffered the hatred of African countries, and now it must also taste this bitter fruit.
Before there was the turmoil in Niger, which made France lose uranium ore, and then Nigeria came out to obstruct, leaving France helpless.
What has happened recently in Africa? What are the grievances between Nigeria and France?
First, "non" is stronger than "non"
In the Age of Discovery, fraternal African countries were invaded by France and became French colonies, and now after those countries have become independent, France also regards Africa as its own back garden and imports various resources from African countries like hooligans.
Taking Niger as an example, France's uranium resources for nuclear energy have long depended on imports from Niger, and if there is any internal turmoil in Niger that affects the supply of uranium resources, France will be very tight.
The more afraid of what will come, the recent coup d'état in Niger directly stimulated France's small heart, and even did not hesitate to use force to interfere in Niger's domestic affairs.
But now Africa is no longer the Africa of the period when it was willing to be enslaved by France, and when they saw that France was making trouble again, Niger's brothers and brothers stood up to stop France.
Algeria issued a solemn warning: "If your troops dare to enter Niger, you will not return." ”
Mali and Burkina Faso said directly: "If France dares to send troops to Niger, it will declare war on us." ”
In this way, France panicked, to say that an old and weak country like Burkina Faso, it can not pay attention, but Algeria's warning, France cannot but listen.
Again, Algeria's position in Africa is the reason for this.
In Algeria's own words: "We are now important members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, the League of Arab States, the African Union, and we are a cadre in Africa." The influence on the world stage is still very large. ”
And the military strength is quite strong in Africa, and even the entire Mediterranean region can be called the first, if France comes to make trouble, it may not be able to walk back.
But why is Algeria so excited in the face of France's actions?
The grievances and feuds between the two countries
Many African countries were once colonies of France, and Algeria was no exception.
As early as 1830, Algeria was bullied by France, when France bought Algerian grain but did not want to give money, even Governor Hussein personally collected debts, France did not give face.
Hussein was so angry that he directly smashed the leather pipe in his hand at the French minister, which gave France an excuse not only not to give food money, but also sent troops to attack Algeria.
Although the French Empire had just experienced Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, France was still strong, marched into Africa, and soon took Algeria, which began 132 years of colonial rule.
In order to appease the hard-line Algerians, France claimed to give them equal status with the French, passed laws to include the colony in its territory, and had seats in parliament.
As the name suggests, on the day the law came into force, there was no more Algeria and more French land.
But Algerians, who became "French," were not treated equally, and their situation was even more embarrassing than that of other colonial peoples. As a result, some locals renounced their national identity and considered themselves French. More locals did not want to be annexed by France and chose independence.
Thus, the struggle for national independence and national liberation had never ceased in Algeria, which had been achieved through the sacrifice of 800,000 people, the displacement of more than 2 million people and more than six years.
This blood debt is remembered by the Algerians, and if France dares to do anything to Algeria or other African countries, they will be the first to stand up to France.
The strength of the two countries is strong and weak
France is undoubtedly a little scared in the face of Algeria's warning, so what is the difference in the military strength of the two countries?
First of all, in terms of military strength, there are currently about 130,000 active soldiers, about 135,000 reserve soldiers, and 200,000 militia and other personnel, with a total strength of more than 460,000 troops.
In terms of armament, there are also 200 warships of various types, more than 500 military aircraft, and more than 1700 tanks.
France, on the other hand, is inferior to Algeria in numbers, with only about 415,000 troops, 120 naval vessels, 1,000 military aircraft and more than 200 tanks.
But the strength of a country can not only look at quantity, but also look at quality, although France is not superior in quantity, but has the most advanced weapons in the world, such as the third generation of main station tanks equipped by the army, that is, Leclerc main battle tanks; nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines equipped by the Navy; The Air Force is equipped with the fourth-generation Rafale fighter of the highest level.
The weapons and equipment on the Algerian side are somewhat collapsed, and the army is the main tank of T-62 and T-72; The Navy is an Abbas attack ship with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons; The Air Force is even some old Su-30 and T-90SA fighters.
Moreover, France is one of the five permanent members of the United Nations and has a certain say in the international community. In general, France is still stronger than Algeria. But to really fight, France does not necessarily beat Algeria.
France is Algeria's enemy, and if France attacks again, Algeria will surely be a soldier. Fight to the death against France, a snow of the shame of colonial plunder.
Brothers and brothers in African countries have been bullied by France, and now they will join hands in the face of a common enemy to fight back against France, and in their hearts, either victory or destruction.
France does not have so much courage, originally just for the development interests of their own country, how dare they really use the knife and gun, even if they think that the invasion of Africa and colonial plunder of Africa is "just", but they will not do their best to confront African countries.
Whether in the past or now, France can be regarded as having a large number of people, strong troops, bullying the small with the big, and when it is inferior to others, it will surrender directly. So if Algeria really wants to fight France, the French themselves will say: "Algeria's position is really enough for us to drink a pot." ”
