I wonder if most of those countries people don't speak either English or Spanish as a second language. As opposed to certain specific languages and countries were most people don't have or use much a second language like for example in Japan or Brazil
In most of the places French is spoken, it is the second language (instead of English or Spanish). Only place I can think of off the top of my head where Francophones would likely also know English is Quebec and, I guess, France itself.
The other languages in the sorts of places I was talking about are mostly ones like Arabic, various sub-Saharan African indigenous languages, or Polynesian.
