Its not just his videos I am worried about.
There have been several anti-France (not so much "anti-French" as in the French people) videos by so-called political channels, and they don't really cite their info on such issues.
Kinda similar to all the anti-US & anti-NATO videos regarding Ukraine but their talking points are distinctively Russia/China.
No one wants to cite their sources properly anymore, and just want to chase the algorithms or fact-check their stuff (Another channel I can think of that keeps getting recommended to me after I un-subbed from them is TLDR news.)

Togoland, yea.
The western part of Togoland occupied by the British got sucked into modern day Ghana.
The eastern part became modern day Togo thanks to the French

Thanks for this long comment.
I watched the video too and this was one of the times where Shirvan (CaspianReport) seemed to be really biased and did not reference his sources.
Asides from the above comment, the video also omitted the fact that 2 of the nations in the CFA, Guinea-Bisseau & Equatorial Guinea, aren't even former French colonies yet they still chose to be involved in the CFA franc currency.
Or even omit the fact that nations like Mali were the ones who requested French military support.
CaspianReport & Johnny Harris are just examples of how sometimes with flashy editing and visuals, you can get away with inaccurate shit to your audience.
