Move or merge

There is a discussion at

Talk:France–Americas relations which suggests moving or merging that article, with obvious consequences for this one. Andrewa (talk) 03:06, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply

Bias

Socialist rhetoric had long attacked the imperialistic program of the French overseas empire, and his continuity in Francophone Africa after those states gained independence. Socialist president François Mitterrand (1981–1996) ignored that old rhetoric, and maintain the benevolent French supervision of the former colonies. He maintained French relations with pro-apartheid Africa, and his military and commercial efforts continued in the neocolonial style that de Gaulle had fostered.[29][30]

Anyone else immediately have their bias alarms go off? 'maintain the benevolent French supervision'???

I don't know enough about the topic to really criticize it myself, but this seems incredibly sus. --2601:82:C202:5ED0:7D1A:36E0:1A33:3A12 (talk) 04:19, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, France is a single political entity. Africa is not. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:53, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning oppose. I think this principle applies when both subjects are countries, but where one is a country and the other is a continent, it does not. BD2412 T 02:26, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
