In the true secrets of Françafrique A symbol of "Françafrique", lawyer-lobbyist Robert Bourgi writes for the very first time about his life, his relationship with his mentor Jacques Foccart, and all the "missions" he carried out over almost forty years on behalf of African and French presidents, including the leading lights of the Right (Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy, Charles Pasqua, Jacques Toubon, Dominique de Villepin, Claude Guéant, François Fillon etc.). From Félix Houphouët-Boigny and Laurent Gbagbo (Côte d'Ivoire) to Mobutu Sese Seko (DR Congo), via Blaise Compaoré (Burkina Faso), Mathieu Kérékou (Benin), Abdoulaye Wade and Macky Sall (Senegal), Mohamed ould Abdel Aziz (Mauritania), Gnassingbé Eyadéma (Togo), Pascal Lissouba, Denis Sassou Nguesso (Congo) and above all Omar and Ali Bongo (Gabon), it lifts the veil on the psychology of numerous presidents, south of the Sahara, and their regimes, giving the reader a fresh look at France's African policy over several decades.
