  • In 1970, Jean-Bedel Bokassa, president for life of the Central African Republic asked the French consul in Saigon to find his daughter Martine Nguyen. After the false quick searches, the French diplomat said he found the girl of Bokassa.
    In December 1970, a Vietnamese newspaper reported that the daughter of the President Central is not the real Martine. The Centra African president accuses France of having found the girl to ridicule him and also plant her as a spy.

    What a chace that I came by this story. My mom is half African and half Vietnamese. She was born in 1952. She does not know her father. He left when she was 2 years old. All she knows is he was soldier for the French. I often think about what he is like, is he alive or dead.

    This story is savage. Needs to be turned into a movie or a mini series.

    Vietnamese here. Great content from this channel. I love to learn about stories and history of Francophone Afrique countries, as we share very similar history against French colonialism. Viet, Algeri and many Africans fought together in WW1, we faced the same racism, our kings exiled to each other countries, and there were a great deal of immigration, cultural exchange stories going on that were untold. With today independence, I hope former-French Afrique countries to never forget our dark history and find path to greater stability, prosperity and development.

    The narration was beautiful. I enjoyed hearing a well-researched story in an African accent I can identify with. Keep it up.

    My family told me the story about his daughter when I was young. My grandfather was part of the people directed by the French Consulate in Vietnam to find the daughter. But they knew they didn't need to find the real one.

    This is a story that hollywood can turned into a good movie instead of the rubbish that get release nowadays.

    It'd be really ironic if the fake Mateen was really his biological daughter.
