In 1960 the French colonies of black Africa were granted independence. General De Gaulle entrusted Jacques Foccart with the task of creating a secret network that sought to maintain, by all means, control of the former colonies and of oil. 50 years later, this system, called Françafrique,still continues. But the Reason of State has given way to the Sarkozian triumph of money.
