EU-AU summit: Ghana's Akufo-Addo calls for 12-month transition in Mali • FRANCE 24 English 

I wonder if any French journalist has asked French officials about their backing and financing of coups in Africa. You’re clearly concerned so sit down with your own leaders and demand some accountability!

Why France can't just leave Mali without making noise? Is Mali a belonging of France? Malians No more want to deal with France and you guys of ECOWAS should better support Malians instead of supporting France against Mali

Mali is for Malians! Ecowas should be cooperation and common interest, not an instrument for the west! France should stop interfering on an independent former colonies!!!! Pay the market price for gold and uranium and cacao.

God bless you Africa child. Allah is on your side Amin

Who is France?always wanted décidé for africa people.

Be careful with France!!!

Hypocrates question like always,why facing our President with such question,Malian governement and the people of mali have spoken let France Leave.Thank you Mr. President for such an excellent answers I do not know why they are interest in our Continent.We Africans are united no more western hypocracy.

Nana, really speaking in his inteligente mind.but the africa leaders must to use their ressources to upgrade the new génération stead to buying heavily cars.

When it comes to this my King is an expect but on grounds is the big problem it means his subordinate are not helping. Nana live long 🔥

Great Man NANA ADDO we hail you 🙌

As far as Europe Union policies is to keep Africa down leaders of Africa wake up from your slumber and take action and keep Europeans unions out of Africa for Africa survival

Clearly this Reporter has no idea and knowledge of what's going on in that region of the world. The President is knowledgeable by far with the right situation without the need of France.

clear talks, vivid insight. thanks Nana!

How can Mali have a elections when there's no security in other region how are they going to vote? He's only asking questions that suits the west.

Why are you so worried with the MILITARY in Mali

What are you doing to help them to secure Mali that’s what we should be talking about not election. Does election solves a problem that France and NATO created?

✋✋✋✋✋✋ We Are Oliver!

What about Chad ????

This is my president❤✌

My question is did Au have a voice in EU?

Mali youth must not listen to these old cars who wanted to take you back to French stick the nation to the partner which considers people lives not those who wants the young Malian to cross the Mediterranean Sea to go and works for them slavery had stop though still alive but be careful with French!!!

What a snake of a reporter, trying to twist the narrative again. Nana did a fantastic job as usual 👏👏👏

Excellent rebuttal Mr President. " we were all here to see what happened on January 6th in the United States ". Does that mean America is a failed state and has the contagion spread to Canada with the trucker protest and a state of emergency having to be implemented in Canada. Will Mexico be next to grapple with military rule. Just asking? . Notice how the interviewer brings his preconceptions into the discussion and tries to form a narrative of uncontrollable instability. I'm also very glad that the President pushed back on these naratives that would have ostensibly be a foundation to build a pretext for the necessity of foreign militaries to march into western Africa. The interviewer even tried to lay the ground work for intervention. Wow. Played his Trump card, " Russian mercenaries", expertly rebuffed. This age of Physiological warfare must not be allowed to manifest into actual warfare. It's like the script is clear, World powers fight each other in the African theater. Be very vigilant Africa!!!

God richly bless you all

Nana Addo all the way ❤❤❤❤

You have see our government is confused 🤷‍♂️

The journalist asks questions to get answers the French government is waiting for .Shame 🧐

Elections are Mali's business. Not the colonizer.

You are not asking the right QUESTIONS. Ask him why the military is taking over most West Africa countries. Tribalism, corruption, bribery, ethnic oppression, higher unemployment

The military leaders should study the works of Sankara. Military leaders are not necessarily bad. It depends on who these military leaders are. They must first take the interest of the people at heart.

Hell no. France need to leave now. If any nation try to force Mali's hand, Mali needs to fight and destroy all foreign forces.

Brilliant mind, brilliant man, outstanding president, outstanding leader of many nations. Wish you long life and success.

Dear African brothers and sisters, let's take our time and look at nana akufo ado, submitting the results planted against Africa. Accontenting France that they will do whatever to please them

I love this president the man with vision, how I wish more African presidents are like him.

Does mali belong to Ghana.

Can Nana just keep quiet and fly back to Ghana. Why doesn't the journalist visit Mali, Burkina Faso and guinea to ask people there

What do you want Mr president the Mali 🇲🇱 people don’t want anything to do with ECOWAS just leave them alone and let them figure out running their country,if you want to be of help just support them.

Culture of silence 🔕 The rule of law or other from above?

Ahh does he think Americans democracy is the same as ghanas demo , a poor comparison of a superpower

Why are all democracies in Africa based on the American model, can't we Africans come out with something that will work for us that is effective, instead of African leaders been Managers of oppression for their European masters under the guise democracy , clearly African needs unity , clearly some of this small countries don't have the resources to manage on their own affairs, which allows for this other countries to take advantage of them

Nana Addo❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

French puppet let Mali do what's best for Mali

Coup is a French word that means cut different from "coup d'etat" 👈 also French

why talk to this network????

La legion etrangere of France are also mercenaries Mr president! Hope you are aware of that!

Let France 🇫🇷 not interfere in African issues

So they should leave, He means All foreign which includes france too

I have a lot of respect for nana He answered the coup happening in ghana with a perfect answer

Sir mali is not your country. Mind your country and leave us alone period.

It’s time for a new order in our continent. A people led movement and it is happening. Old men like this ones days are numbered

A truly conflicted character!

They can not governing the people very well that is the military are popular in Africa

Well Spoken Mr President

Puppets

When will the Au host western leaders in Africa for a summit?

Ecowas mandate is for the concern countries - by them , for them- through negotiation. African media MUST take front sit. Secure your resources and labor then security.

what are you doing in its a no presented in guna it's papert

This thing of Junta I hate it........

You stop to ask him. Your from euro

Mr President Nana Akufo Addo, there's good coup && bad coup the bad coup is when the foreign enemy is behind like we know France hands in Africa, the good coups is that the old Trophies for our Presidents stay alive.

Akufo addo there is not democracy in Togo and in Ivory coast

The African francophone countries need to visit Haiti, to see the legacy of France.

French puppet smh

You deceived panafricanist youths. No nazi politics in Mali. Mali belongs to Maliens people!!!!!

it's fake president in guna😅

Pour governance

Did you ask him about the corruption in his country ,the hardship his people are going through, the hunger killing his country men , the Increase the level of unemployment, the Dictatorship governors and Suppression of free speech in his country #AskThemTheRightQuestions #ThatsWhatGoodJournalistDo

Why this French journalist can't ask their government also why they are having military forces in such a very long distance even to the extent they are forced to leave they still insist on staying or relocating to another African country. What is really the force behind this. Is it only "protection" as they claimed or another point of interest because up till now majority Africans especially the youths are sick and tired or western military on African soil and yet no African military in theirs.

Why Africa leaders why?????? 😭😭😭

I’m from Ghana and I promise you this man is the definition of corruption

So colonial military in Africa was a good one is that what I just heard. The Russian mercenary is bad but the French European military is good wow unbelievable what you are saying.the Malian government deemed its necessary for the colonial forces to leave but and the mercenaries to stay.

Wishy wash leaders. We need another Rawlings or Nkrumah.

For talking he’s the best but putting work on grounds he’s the worse

best grammar speaking president ,seriously corrupted

Nana tell them that French government to remove all his military personnel IMMEDIATELY FROM all Africa.

I think nana akufo himself needs 12 months to leave the Palace because he is doing nothing for Ghanaian nor Africa

Shame on you akufo ado where was the ECOWAS when alassane ouatara and faure gnasimbé of Togo change the constitutions in their countries why the ECOWAS didn't sanction them

Photo opportunities

He doesn't know what he is saying

It's so disturbing to hear such journalist act like he doee not know what France is doing in the French-speaking African states. Well, he is comfortable to sit in paris to ask those questions. What the ECOWAS is not doing is play fair. Why is Togo president still there after changing the constitution to suit him? And so is Ivory Coast. Yes, Cameroun is not one of us. Not part of the 15-member , Ecowas group. The Paul Biya guy has been there since 1986, all being protected by France troops. And look at the mistreatment of the "Anglophone" part of that same country. When will the people of Cameroun rise up to this inhumane treatment of section of the nation.

With the Cameroun, the blame should go the Britts, when they were ready to leave Nigeria. That part of Cameroun should have been part of Nigeria, and that big nation of Nigeria should have been divided into 3. The Britts did not care how they left the nation of Nigeria. Britain & France are the 2 nations to be blamed for selecting parts of Africa in the 1894 Berlin Conference of slicing of the cake as far as Africa continent is concerned. France benefited & is still reaping a lot of it. The foreign reserves of the 14 french-speaking African states are still in the hands of France. Taxes, these nations pay every year is $500b. Why can't France stop doing this. France will slip into a third world country if not collecting this amount of money every year. Why is AU quiet about it? All because AU has a chairperson who is a puppet for France. And this Maki guy is making things bad for the Africa continent. And our leaders can't talk. They are muzzled because of some favors France gives them. We have cowards heading these African states. Africans are suffering because the playing fields are not equal. We can do better, folks.

Ecowas head of states should implement terms limits and also fight corruption. They should deliver the expectations of its citizens and stop self perpetuating ruling

Look at him oooo. Who is he?

So this guy In summery said the Russians are bad the French and Europeans are good .

Who is he ?
