and not spoken of in polite circles. The reality today for the 182 million
people living in CFA nations is that while they may be politically independent
in name, their economies and money are still under colonial rule, and foreign
powers still abuse and prolong that relationship to squeeze and exploit as much
value from their societies and geographies as possible." - Alex Gladstein
