Le syndrome Foccart, 2012
Wikipedia, Sept. 10, 2013 (Jacques Foccart (31 August 1913 -19 March 1997) was a chief adviser for the government of France on African policy as well as the co-founder of the Gaullist Service d'Action Civique (SAC) in 1959; from 1960 to 1974, he was the President of France's chief of staff for African and Madagascar matters for both Charles de Gaulle and Georges Pompidou; Foccart played such an important role in French policies in Africa, that after de Gaulle, he was seen as the most influential man of the Fifth Republic; but through SAC, he was considered to be the instigator behind various coups d'état in Africa during the 1960s)
