We talk with economist Ndongo Samba Sylla about why France's former colonies must leave the CFA franc. We discuss the origins of the CFA, the ways in which France uses the CFA franc as an instrument of control, and how countries in Central and West Africa might leave the CFA. Ndongo Samba Sylla is a Senegalese development economist. He is currently a Research and Programme manager at the West Africa office of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation (Dakar).
