The conviction of France’s🇫🇷 former President Nicolas Sarkozy for corruption has been upheld, though
two of the three-year prison sentence are suspended and the final year would involve him wearing an electronic bracelet.
But no conviction over Libya, Sarkozy pushed for bombing Libya🇱🇾 in 2011:
-to “gain a greater share in Libyan oil production”. Sarkozy was negotiating to reserve as much as 35% of Libya’s oil industry
-to stop Muammar Gaddafi’s ‘gold Dinar plan’, an indigenous gold-backed African currency to replace the French CFA Franc
-to improve his political position domestically
-to stop the decline of French influence in Africa
-to reassert the French military in the world
