Wrong:
langue parlée à la maison (%, 2014): français 6%
Le français est la langue d'enseignement et 34 % des habitants du pays la comprennent
In Angola is
71% (12x more) and virtually 100% respectively.
Why you make such wild claims when you know it would be easily debunked?

As for your ridiculous 1% language of communication, according to a 2025 survey cited in the 6th edition Francophonie report, 86% of respondents in Dakar said that mastering the French language was important for employability. 93% said that the French language was important in the workplace.

Negligible numbers. Over 90% of the Dutch know English.

PS: You may not be aware of it yet, but Youtube now has this very annoying habit of offering automated AI dubbing of people in videos. So perhaps you saw a Senegalese MP automatically dubbed in English by AI in your jurisdiction (you have to check the settings to remove the automated dubbing, which has appeared barely a month ago, and is one of the most annoying features of Youtube).
These are the MPs from Senegal's parliament last week during the debate, no English whatsoever (if you listen to the original voices and not some dubbing):

Because Senegal is a "Francophone" country and yet a member of the parliament was delivering the speech in English and I found it odd.
And yes, she was speaking in English. Go to 0:47:

According to
Wikipedia, there are only 1.2 million of L1 French speakers in Africa and 167 million L1+L2. Only 1.2 million. That's nothing.
