Meme outside of European French speakers and France's ex colonies

>>79461302
French diaspora most likely, we've apparently got something like a couple of million French descendants plus some bit of common history.

The US seems like an odd absence as an observer.

I don't really need google translator reading french is like reading italian or portuguese.

And well I guess frogs are after spaniards and italians the biggest group of inmigrants. Still it's weird, what's the point of that meme group? that's what I don't understand

>>79461363
Yeah I realize that, there's a lot of french descendants and they did contribute to the country but I just don't really know what the group is about.

You mean Francophonie? It's France and its colonies same as us with the Iberoamerican org

> It's France and its colonies

triggered

>same as us with the Iberoamerican org
I didn't know that existed, and france is an observer in that


Nice thread OP learned something today. Korea is weird though, what countries are the ones banned?

>>79461456
Here's the thing, observers don't do shit, we just go to take notes and socialize. If they do something that impacts say learning French we get the materials and use them at our schools. The people active in this are probably the same expats and Frenchboos that do the Alliance Francaise functions and parties.

I mean Mexico is an observer in Mercosur along with New Zealand, it's not like we are a part, it's just having a few outsiders to bear witness and ocasionally do backroom talks on cooperation. Depending on the organization some observers really are nothing more than token guests at meetings.
