Ibrahim Traoré's Predictions about France: Coming true?

 

Following Captain Troare's prediction that Western powers would be forced to shut down their factories once expelled from the continent, France has begun closing factories.

According to a journalist, France was promised the "reindustrialization of France" under President Emmanuel Macron, but the reality appears quite different. While there has been some progress, the country is actually shutting down more factories than it’s opening.

In the second half of 2025 alone, 23 factories were closed, compared to 35 in the latter half of 2024. That makes a total of 58 factory closures in the past 12 months. Many of these closures are in the agricultural sector, but others affect industries like car manufacturing, steel, and metallurgy. 

The high cost of energy, not just in France but across Europe, is a major contributing factor. As we know, without affordable energy, it’s nearly impossible to maintain a thriving economy. And with the l!oss of Niger’s uranium resources, it seems more factory closures could be on the horizon.
