Mali drops French as its official language

[Bonk]

Niger's government has just been removed from power in a military coup. With that, France's remaining ally in the Sahel is gone too.

French influence is totally finished in Africa.

Is it now official? I’m reading mixed messages about the military & national guards not joining the coup.

Interestingly, the western NGOs Mali kicked out just set up shop in Niger.

Everything is confusing right now & it seems Islamists are also expanding all over the Sahel.

What the hell is going on? Can you shed more light on it?

most Malians don't and have never spoken french or any colonial language like India and their english worshipping

How do you know, if you don't live there?

because I have malian kins for one
two, bambara is the most spoken language, then it's a tie between fula and french after

same thing as senegal, most senegalese speak wolof instead of french. only 20 percent of people in the capital it self speak french as their first language

now, in Ivory Coast and Benin they speak it first, loud and proud. but I don't see that any different than Ghanaians speaking english or nigerian pidgin

Ghana and Nigeria only speak English as a trade language/Lingua franca that everyone can understand. We Still always speak our native languages first whenever we get the chance.
