In many French African countries French is spoken even in rural communities? Why did the English colonisers not have similar success in forcing their language upon the local poeple?

I think that in East Africa a great deal of this has to do with the widespread use of Swahili as a lingua franca and the willingness of the British colonisers to use it too.
