I get your point, there is probably a nicer word for it. But I find it more fucked up that a bunch of frogs militarily and financially sponsor dictators and then pretend it’s a crime against democracy when they get overthrown (be it by a similarly un democratic army).
It may be Francophone, but it’s as fucked up to call this “French Africa” as it would be to call India/Pakistan/Bangladesh “British India.”

That’s valid.
Curious what makes that unacceptable where it’s common and accepted to call Quebec “French Canada”
Local sentiments to the colonizers? Don’t think french Canadians harbour any (much) ill-will towards France I guess.
