The Last Frenchman | VPRO Documentary
In this episode of 'Frontline' Bram Vermeulen examines the reversed roles in the relationship between Europe and Africa.
The former colonies no longer put up with European interference and are now violently demanding an equal relationship. Bram is in Niger - where recently in a wave of anti-Western coups in Africa - a coup has taken place.
On his trip to Niger, in the heart of the Sahara Desert, Bram Vermeulen sees how the billions of euro's Europe has poured into African countries in recent years to combat terrorism and migration have gone up in smoke. After the coup in Niger, the coup plotters cancelled any cooperation with Europe and people smugglers are allowed to go about their business again.
Former colonizer France, in particular, is to suffer. The French ambassador has been sent back to Paris, along with the 1500 French soldiers in Niger. Almost all French citizens also left. Bram speaks to the last remaining Frenchman who is still willing to show what he has to leave behind after 42 years.
Bram is also invited to one of the coup leaders, but this governor of the capital Niamey soon has enough of his questions. Meanwhile, in Agadez, the base of operations for people smugglers, people are celebrating. The scrapping of the law banning the transportation of migrants gives them a free hand again.
