Abstract
- The article presents an interview with lawyer Robert Bourgi. He discusses Jacques Foccart, chief advisor on African policy for various French governments, of whom, Bourgi was a disciple and learnt much about Franco-African relations. He refers to the Françafrique political culture, where allegedly bribery and cronyism went hand in hand with political destabilisation and dirty money between the French state and Francophone African leaders. He mentions spending his retired life in Dakar, Senegal.
