The French model is very different to ours. Some of the earliest geopolitically realist literature goes back to the French, with Leibniz making the suggestion that the French take over Egypt to have Mediterranean dominance, something Napoleon would famously take up as a challenge. Bonapartism as an ideology was most systematically put together by Napoleon III, a man most famous for eating mosquitos in Mexico and getting outflanked and captured by Bismarck and the new Germany.
My hope as someone Francais, hoping to immigrate to France, is that the Pro-France Franco-Afrique get favourable treatment, are kept Christian and are encouraged into an alliance, and that France cuts herself off from the wicked EU. Better France join in union with her former colonies, embrace them, providing them with managers, supervisors and encouraging them to find their own footing so that they can be self-sustaining and then super-powers in Afrique in their own right and then leave them to dominate their neighbours.
But over-all we French should withdraw from Afrique and simply behave like a distant ally of sorts and trade partner towards French-Christian African states (along with Nigeria & Kenya of course as they are beautiful countries with wonderful cultures). But screw interventionism and screw involvement of any other sort.

I can understand the sentiment, but pretending the rest of the world doesn't exist won't make it go away.
