If you want to know the real reasons why France is onboard with arresting a man who promotes free speech online. Reason 1: Three out of every four lightbulbs in France re turned on by uranium from countries like Niger, and Russia has made significant inroads into French influence in the former colonies. "In Mali, surveys show that some 84 percent of the population has a positive opinion of Russia. Conversely, anti-French propaganda has been in full swing since France’s intervention against jihadism got bogged down, with Paris frequently depicted as an occupying power" "In Niger, General Abdourahamane Tchiani took power last July. He immediately took measures against France. The junta quickly demanded the exit of the French forces, who numbered about 1,500, and denounced existing security agreements with Paris. " "In early 2024, it was Chad’s turn to embrace Russia, moving away from its historical alliance with France. The transitional president, Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno, announced on January 24 that Chad now considers Russia a “brother country.” Reason 2: Russia uses telegram as an approved channel for their military. This is about the only official reason that has a hint of truth. The intersect of French and US interests, is the leverage to control telegrams content, ban all Russian counter information, and get back access to telegram. There is no other reason than Russia because Russia. Whether Durov works with them or not.
