Why does France still have control of land in South America? The people of Guiana should have their own country, not be owned by one thousands of miles across the ocean. I can’t believe that here in the 21st century, some European countries still have colonies, or as they are called, “overseas regions”.

Isn’t this in order to maintain the prison on Devils Island.
On a good day you can see the felons in chains shuffling past the ferry when you arrive in Calais, beats Guantanamo Bay hands down, you can’t hide books and mats up your backside with those nasty French Gendarmes about.
