Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The flags came down. The empire did not.AFRICA: THE EMPIRE FRANCE REFUSED TO END examines the system that outlived formal colonial rule: Françafrique, the web of monetary, military, political, commercial, intelligence, and media relationships through which France preserved extraordinary influence across much of Africa.With West Africa at its center, Marcus A. Sterling follows the machinery of power from the CFA franc and decades of permanent military basing to resource access, elite networks, interventions, and diplomatic pressure. He traces the deeper history from Algeria's war of independence to the upheaval transforming the Sahel in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, and the wider rupture reaching Chad, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, and beyond.Drawing on declassified archives, parliamentary records, court documents, and the author's firsthand experience managing the French military warehouse at Kamembe Airport during Operation Turquoise, this is a history grounded in primary sources rather than slogans.Inside is a story of presidents protected and abandoned, currencies defended, resources contested, narratives shaped, and African populations increasingly unwilling to accept arrangements inherited from the colonial era.This is not an argument that France caused every African failure. Nor does it excuse the African rulers and elites who benefited from the system. It is an investigation of power: who built it, who profited, how it survived decolonization, why it is breaking, and what may replace it.For readers who want to understand why France's position in Africa is unraveling, and what comes next.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Tshisekedi Shift: Dismantling Kagame's Looting Network and Forging DR Congo's Great Economic TransitionBy Marcus A. SterlingFor decades, the Democratic Republic of Congo was the world's richest poor nation-its soil bursting with cobalt, copper, and gold while its people endured exploitation, conflict, and despair. The Tshisekedi Shift reveals how a new generation of Congolese leadership is breaking that cycle, reclaiming control over the nation's mineral wealth, and reshaping the balance of power in Central Africa.Drawing on field interviews, investigative data, and firsthand analysis, Marcus A. Sterling traces the quiet revolution launched under President Felix Tshisekedi: the renegotiation of the billion-dollar Sicomines deal, fiscal and customs reforms that finally forced accountability, and a sovereign economic vision centered on the Fonds Souverain de la Republique.This is not another book about Africa's tragedy-it is the story of Africa's turning point. Sterling connects the dots between Kinshasa's internal reforms and the shifting global chessboard of China, the United States, and regional power brokers. The result is a gripping portrait of a nation reclaiming its agency after decades of foreign capture.Part expose, part economic blueprint, and part diplomatic wake-up call, The Tshisekedi Shift challenges investors, policymakers, and citizens alike to rethink what sovereignty means in the twenty-first century.Key Themes- The end of the resource-curse narrative and the rise of fiscal sovereignty- The geopolitical consequences of Congo's mining and infrastructure renegotiations- The global race for critical minerals and Africa's new leverage- Case studies: Sicomines renegotiation, Lobito Corridor, Inga III, and the Beni reformsAbout the AuthorMarcus A. Sterling is a finance professional and geopolitical analyst whose work bridges economics, governance, and diplomacy across Africa's Great Lakes region.For press or speaking engagements: - X (Twitter): atMarcusASterling This item is printed on demand.
