Nigerians don't seem very happy with all that "costly help supplied by French democracy". If history is any indicator, that deal wasn't something beneficial for all parties involved.

If even Italian right wingers can call you out on your neo-colonialist shit you're either bad at PR or you're actually still a colonizer.

None of your arguments makes sense by I agree France should have left the Sahel long ago. The islamist attacks of the mid-2010s brought them back for security reasons, they'll leave for security reasons. My point about Russia and Wagner stands.
