In another secret
diplomatic cable of US Embassy in Paris, France dated September 09, 2008 and released
on January 09, 2011 by WIKILEAKS, it has been revealed that France has the
obligation to intervene militarily to defend the neo-colonial government and
secure its interests under the France Afrique secret deals signed with Cameroon
in 1960 and later modified in 1974 and that which was signed with the Gabonese
Government in 1960. The cable titled “France’s Changing Policy in Africa part
III”, states, “Equally troublesome and outdated are certain
"secret" portions of some of the Agreements. According to
Marechaux, the Defense Agreements with CAMEROON and
Gabon,
for example, contain "absurd" provisions obligating France,
upon request, to provide internal security in case of
domestic unrest in those countries”
