This is what happens to people who try to enforce laws against things like child labor in Afirca https://www.africanexponent.com/post/10487-france-has-always-carried-evil-imperialism-with-it

  1. I just explained why a law would be a poor tool to solve this problem

  2. All countries on the continent are not former france colonies and even for those that are we can clearly see states like senegal making real effort to create jobs so that completely negates the idea that france is responsible for everything wrong with Africa and further validates my talk about failure on the part of African governments

France is just on example of what western colonialism is doing to Africa. The core problem is that African countries aren't allowed to develop in a way that benefits them. Any time countries try to assert their sovereignty and put a government that works in the interest of their people, the west overthrows their government, stages coups, funds terrorists, and if all else fails invades these countries.
