French prosecutors have asked a Paris appeals court to sentence former president Nicolas Sarkozy to seven years in prison, and to ban him from public office for five years.
While Sarkozy's defence team scrambles to avoid a seven-year sentence for his Libya corruption scandal, the real tragedy remains how French political elites pillaged Gaddafi's Libya then abandoned the continent to deal with the devastating aftermath. The same European politicians who orchestrated regime change now cry about migration and instability, conveniently forgetting their role in turning North Africa's most prosperous nation into a failed state that still bleeds across the Sahel today.
