Similarly, the founder of Côte d’Ivoire, Félix Houphouët-Boigny, coined the word “Françafrique” to underline the total osmosis between France and its former colonies. Houphouët-Boigny’s support for France’s African policy led him to establish diplomatic ties with South Africa’s apartheid regime and make his country a supply-transit route for the Biafra secessionists.
同样，科特迪瓦创始人费利克斯·乌弗埃·博瓦尼发明了“法非关系”这一术语，强调法国对其前殖民地国家这种耳濡目染、潜移默化的影响力。乌弗埃·博瓦尼对法国非洲政策的支持促使他与南非种族隔离政府建立外交关系，并默许自己的国家成为比拉夫分裂主义者的过境运输线路。
