“We have a lot of people, at Alliance Francaise, who came from Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina, Togo, who are Francophone, who come here to learn English,” she said. “Which is really strange.”
According to political risk analyst Lydie Boka, Burundi is also eyeing a place in the English-speaking Commonwealth. “Burundi is going that route. I think they’ve asked to join the Commonwealth without saying whether they would abandon the Francophone. I think a number of the Africa countries, rightly or wrongly, think the English-speaking countries develop faster,” she said.
But Ousmane Paye, special assistant to the Secretary General of the Francophone International Organization, said despite all of this, the French-speaking world will continue to grow – especially in Africa.
“Rwanda is still a Francophone member, and a member of the Commonwealth. There are other countries that are members both the Francophone and Commonwealth organizations … like Cameroon and Mauritius,” he said.
