> Colonialism may have ended, but France continues to exert influence in Africa.

Yes, of course. Lots of countries exert influence in Africa. The PRC just opened its first off-shore military base Djibouti. Russia has whatever fresh hell the Wagner group is bringing - especially to the Central African Republic. America has bases in at least 10 African countries.

Colonialism may be over but challenges in managing international influence will always persist.
