Africa is a plan B for me. Plan A is to find a job in Canada (yes a PILOT job). I better like to go in Africa, fly there 2-3 years than work as a rampie in Canada for the same amount of time. I didn't try to find a job yet because i'm finishing a university degree right now, I'll be looking in late may after I pass my IR flight test. I'm considering all options so that's why i'm asking a question on this forum.

English side of Africa is not an option, too many guys from countries with a big pool of pilots (USA, UK, N-Z, Australia) hanging around there. My idea is that on the french side there's not many pilots looking for a position because you have only France as a pool of french speaking people. I don't think that if the operator where I go have a lack of pilots it will be difficult for them to obtain the papers.

Anybody speak english, so I guess my french is an advantage down there (over 20 french speaking countries). Correct me if i'm wrong.
