The statements attributed to Thierry Breton, the European Union Commissioner for the Internal Market, criticizing French President Emmanuel Macron's Africa policy and making controversial remarks about Africa's history and leadership capabilities, have been debunked as false.  According to Africa Check, there is no credible evidence that Breton made such comments.  These claims originated from unreliable sources and have been circulating on social media without substantiation  .

While these specific statements are unfounded, they reflect broader tensions in France's relationship with its former African colonies.  In recent years, countries like Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger have experienced military coups and have distanced themselves from France, citing dissatisfaction with its military interventions and perceived neocolonial influence.  These nations have formed the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), aiming for greater regional integration and economic independence, including plans for a common currency and infrastructure development  .

French President Emmanuel Macron's attempts to "reset" relations with Africa have faced criticism.  His remarks about African nations' "ingratitude" for French military support have been met with backlash from African leaders, who view such comments as patronizing and reflective of colonial attitudes  .

In summary, while the specific quotes attributed to Thierry Breton are false, they underscore the real and growing challenges in Franco-African relations, marked by a shift towards African self-determination and a reevaluation of historical ties.
