Our dear spies are back in Africa! Everywhere to maneuver, in the desert with the Tuareg as in the official offices of the capitals, they discreetly guide the new African policy that they do not want France. But in the globalized Africa of the twenty-first century, our secret agents are no more at the party: Israelis, Chinese or Russians give them a fierce contest with African presidents breathless, eager for strategic intelligence to perform. Antoine Glaser and Thomas Hofnung came here by the passionate opponents in English - usually silent - and explain how wars between services were spent in the private sector. On a continent much coveted for its raw materials and its human potential, our "dear spies" defend what remains of the French interests. Still in the shadows, they are trying to keep the old African file in which the file is now classified "confidential defense". Antoine Glaser is a journalist and specialist in Africa. Thomas Hofnung is a journalist at The Conversation-France.
