Now, I wonder if the Europeans in places like North and South America, Australia etc. also going to start going home.
The French introduced assimilation and created blackfrenchmen…but those blacks still experience an " inferiority complex" due to the culture dynamics over the years. They ought to return to Africa to rediscover their true identity.

Nationalism has taken over the world. Parts of Africa like Ghana, South Africa, and the Ivory Coast are also very nationalistic. What a shame!
I'm having this exact feeling currently. I'm coming back to Africa in the next 5 years. I recently went to my original country Guinea and was quite surprised about how everything has changed positively and talking to my friends there made me realize how much wealth I could make there. There is this sentiment you feel in Europe where no matter how much time you spend there, you'll never feel home there. You'll feel different and only in Africa you won't feel disrespected or degraded for who you are. My country Guinea is improving fast, like the income per person has risen by almost 1000 $ and the gross revenue of the country has doubled in less than 10 years.
the title…French Africans
Its good Africans coming back home may your plans come to pass
Worth the watch.
People of African ancestry commit a lot of come. That’s a fact. This is the reason they are mistreated sometimes. They cause a lot of violence and problems.
It's very sad to hear an African basically implying that Africa means nothing to them yet it's their motherland! 🙄
I enjoyed this. I think it’s about time that Africa and Africans work on becoming more United. I always feel that if a group of islands like Japan can develop as much as it has since the end of the 2nd world war – so can Africa with all its resources
This is the problem in the states…no identity!!!!
Oh look, another anti-French BBC "documentary"… I work in the Paris suburbs. This "Homecoming" is a very marginal phenomenon mostly from French people with identity issues. Most will come back to France when they realize the harsh conditions in Africa, and the fact that they are not culturally African.
The main reason behind their ungrateful behavior is not "racism" or discrimination. It's education: when you have immigrant parents telling you that you are Muslim/African/Moroccan/Malian/Congolese first, well… it can create mental issues later. Example: the mother talking ignorantly about secularism and spreading victimization..
The second reason is opportunism and greed. Same reason why many French go to work in finance in London or NYT. For the €€€€. But it looks better to play the victim, like the liar telling he is called "nègre" everyday. A shameful lie.
Ah yes but many will be back for any medical stuff they need to sort and some will have figured out how to get their benefits still while not being in France! It is true that European countries are finished and while there will be a number of successes of higher standards of living there will still be corrupted GOV officials and companies taking advantage….
This are intelligent people. The west has turned into one stressful experience and that’s not even taking ignorant racists into account. I am planning to return to west Africa after spending 53 years in UK. Arrived here age 8 years. Just plan ahead, try to secure your place of living first then everything else will be at your own pace.
Wonderful! Blaxit is real and growing in steam.
He will be back in a short time, living standards are much higher in France
We also need drastic change in Africa. France can no longer own so much of Africa and not expect immigrants. They are simply following their money.
Part 2: try not to get executed after promoting dating apps inshallah ❤
this is for all the people trying so hard to relocate to Europe, just know that your kids or grandkids will come back.
We all should go back to use our resources, build our communities and invest in ourselves and our people. Most of the problems in Africa, the instability are caused by these colonial powers.
With the exodus of french speaking africans back to Africa and the continuous resistance of former french colonies now independent countries and the awareness to have valid control over their resources will over time weaken the french economy and make France very weak.Moreover France will be weakened more by issues of radicalization by Islamic groups which will likely implode france over time.
Very good video.
Great watch! Good to see Africans that are in the diaspora come back home. We warmly welcome you home! iAfrica Mayibuye!
We must still learn I see to face situations on all fronts and know what the consequences are for the steps we are taking in life. Honesty will save the day. For Christians even in the Bible, there is stated that some things you better practice in the closeness of your interior room, otherwise if you are showing off, that is hypocritical.
I can relate with the uncle of Marie that there also needs to be certain things we do discreet. Because it is the ignorance that create fear and situations. Because the European is seemingly living their lives in the openness and have left many traditions behind, but what they are doing in the dark and the closeness of their homes that is for them. And than they have to put up with these kinds of situations that black and brown and Muslims people from other parts of the world want to come to "their country" and practice their religion and culture. For many of them it is an insult of everything they have worked and fight for.
>educated blacks out
<uneducated blacks in
Impressive move, France.
Illusion of inclusion 😅,east or west 😅home 🏘️ is best😊,excellent 👌 content
I understand to these people. France is a very racist country
Home is every where just be free
why are this people complaining about not having freedom to practice their religion?!! in their country they give no freedom for christians or any other religious groups to practice their religion, so they should be treated in the same manner by people of the country they migrate to! you hipocrits
illegal or/and bad imigrants are distroying france!
imigrants should stay in their native countries to improve it and make them sutable for themselves
There are opportunities everywhere so choose where you will be happy to stay
… start with correcting a big lie, they’re not French at all they may have been born in the country but the notion that only the west must embrace open borders is absurd and sad
Such documentaries are make believe to change the narrative…….asylum is here to stay……more immigrants will flood Europe
I think it's great that they are going home. Hopefully, they are getting rid of their European citizenship, too.
But isn't FRANCE paying them to return to Africa??🤔🤔🤔🤔
I welcome those returning to our continent but they must not forget the harsh reality that each African country is facing. From food insecurities, quality of healthcare, civil unrests, terrorism, crime , and unstable politics. Visit those countries a lot of times before settling and always have backups.
Here in SA (South Africa 🇿🇦) , we get a lot of black diaspora from the UK and the US. We are always making them aware of our unfortunate high crime rate. We made huge headways when it comes to our corruption (we are number 70 out of 180 countries (top 5 are places like Norway and Sweden), meaning we are far better than most countries in the world. Hope we reach top 50.
Sad the good people leaving
Wealthy educated middle class black French people with Senegalese ancestry making luxury choices to use their European money to buy a lifestyle in Senegal they could not achieve in France.
@24:00 Audrey does not like the values of the west as they have evolved now.
So, what happens if a white European said that of her values?
Great interesting documentary.
Question – does it work both ways then?
If lots of young black French people of African origin want to be part of a society and culture where they feel their parents and grandparents values are represented and where they look like the locals and feel like they fit in, does the exact same thing apply to indigenous white Europeans?
THE BURNING HELLFIRE
Thousands of degrees of heat and not a drop of water! God has prepared a place of eternal punishment for all those who reject Him. It is called HELL and it is a place of eternal fire. The Bible, the Holy Word of God, states in Psalms 9:17 "the wicked shall be turned to Hell and all the nations that forget God". He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life, but he that believeth not shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him" (John 3:36). Originally, hell was prepared for the devil and his angels. The Bible says in Matthew 25:41, "Then He will say to those on His left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels'". Yet if you reject the Son of God, Jesus Christ, and the sacrifice He made for you, you will spend eternity in hell!
Would you reject God and go to hell? You will no longer be bothered by a Christian giving you a gospel tract. Nor will you have to worry about someone knocking on your door and inviting you to church again. However, you will remember every preaching you heard, every gospel tract you rejected, and every kind word from a Christian friend pleading for you to be saved. The Bible tells the story of the man who went to hell. It says '… the rich man also died and was buried: in Hell he looked up, and in torment he saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried out and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger to cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame. (Luke 16:22-24)
Would you reject God and the opportunity He has given you to trust Him? You too will one day be like the rich man you just read about. You will be crying, begging for a single drop of water to cool and dry your tongue, but it will be too late!
My friend, please don't let anyone convince you that after death it will be over. The Bible says in Hebrews 9:27 "and as it is appointed unto men once to die, after that cometh the judgment". God has said that judgment will follow your death. Now is the time to prepare to meet Him because your day of judgment could be today. Jesus asked this question in Matthew 23:33; "Ye serpents, ye seed of vipers, how shall ye escape the punishment of hell? The answer is so simple, and it is found in God's holy Word. To escape hell, you must realise that you are a sinner and that you deserve hell because of your sins. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23).
Secondly, you must realise that Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, paid the penalty of sin that you deserved. The Bible states in Romans 5:8 "but God proves His love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us". Jesus Christ left heaven and came to this world of sorrow, think about it, He left the streets of gold and the rejoicing of angels to come to this earth and be sacrificed, so that you might escape the burning hell. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" there is nothing you can do to earn this gift of eternal life. The Bible says "for by faith you have been saved through faith, not by works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Finally you must ask Jesus Christ to save you. Romans 10:9 says "if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved". If it is your desire to be saved from the burning hell, please pray this prayer, or one similar to it: Dear God, I admit that I am a sinner, going to hell. I know that I cannot save myself. I repent of my sins and put my faith in the blood you shed for me on the cross to pay for all my sins. I accept you now as my Savior and trust you to take me to heaven. Thank you for saving me. Thank you for saving me. Amen.
Please do not reject this message. The Bible gives you a final warning: "And whosoever was not found in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:15). May God write your name in the Book of Life. Trust Him today!
L'Afrique est un continent a linstar de LL l'Europe. Elle est composer de 54 pays dont le Senegal, donc vraiment dire ke lon retourne en Afrique est un peu vague. Soyons precis.
Hopefully westerners stay back in Europe. Soon the west will be all white sgain. But next time you need to dig for mineral resources (like gold, coltan etc…) dig in Europe.
