Some of those include Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea, Gabon, Mali, Madagascar, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Seychelles, and Togo (Wikipedia: the French language).
