First sentence still true, it’s just used by france to (badly attempt to) hide their continued colonialism.
First sentence is 100% false, actually.
You don’t consider the GRU/Africa Corps to be neo-colonialism at the least?
They could be part of neo-colonialism, if Russia was actively dominating and exploiting these countries financially in a manner that goes beyond trade. However, I have not seen any evidence of that, just the presence of mercenaries. Western millitaries and mercenaries are not neocolonialism itself, but the means by which neocolonialism is maintained when IMF loans and other financial tools are not sufficient.
Colonialism is a predatory, extractive economic relation. The presence of a mercenary company alone doesn’t tell us what purpose they serve. Many of their clients are the same African states that have recently overthrown their neocolonial rulers in Europe, and have understandable reservations about doing business with western mercenaries at such a sensitive time.
On, non!
Because juntas have a hard-on for other authoritarian regimes?
Yes, because all African countries are “juntas” you racist prick.
Our Prince family, their warlord clan
The ones that are ditching France for Russia are.
Prove it.
If that was the criterion, they all would be calling Trump daddy right now like a certain NATO official.
Do you think African states are picking geopolitical allies purely based on how strong the state is? All states are “authoritarian,” the core difference is in which class the state serves. African states are generally interested in kicking out imperialists, so they side with socialist states like China and strategically anti-imperialist capitalist states like Russia.

Dehumanizing people over political beliefs doesn’t actually help your case.
