The CFA franc, a colonial currency used in west and central African countries, is facing potential demise. The Alliance of Sahel States, including Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and now Senegal, are making moves to abandon the currency. Previous attempts by individual countries to break free from the CFA franc were thwarted by French interference. However, the current unity among these countries may lead to a successful transition to new currencies and greater economic independence.
