I know that Operation Barkhane has been in effect this year, withdrawing French troops from all over Africa.

I wasn't aware they still had a lot of forces in the Congo, though. I'll have to look into that.

Edited to add: Well, I started looking into it, and Operation Barkhane ended last year. So I'm out of date on my info already.

I don't follow African politics as much as I should. I do know there have been several coups in some African countries this past year, and some people blame France for it, because they have been pulling their troops out of Africa.

Edited again to add: Still looking through all the info I can find on France's military bases in Africa, and I can't find any info about any bases they currently have in the Republic of Congo.

If anyone has any information about that, please share.

I'll keep looking, but right now, all signs point to "no" when it comes to France still having troops in the Congo.
