    Reploiement militaire français en Afrique

    By Helmut Sorge & Olivier Tramond Le général Olivier Tramond analyse la réduction de la présence militaire française en Afrique comme un changement stratégique profond plutôt qu’un renoncement. Au-delà des coups d’État et des sentiments anti-français, il souligne le rôle de la désinformation, de la concurrence géopolitique et des nouvelles priorités sécuritaires en Europe. La France ferme ses bases permanentes en Afrique de l’Ouest et centrale pour adopter un modèle plus flexible, tout en maintenant un pivot stratégique majeur à Djibouti.
