      English version   Dear readers, Gabon is a country of 2 million people with huge mineral, timber, and oil resources, but no other economy. Gabon’s GDP is 19.39 billion USD (12800 billion CFA francs in 2023) which is 40 times lower than the GDP of the city of Paris (757.5 billion dollars, or about 500000 billion CFA francs) that only produces services.   In Paris, the majority of the people belong to a comfortable middle class; in Gabon, there are a few billionaires surrounded by a mass of poor folks. This is sad.   The French president is generally   never elected with more than 55% of the vote. This is a sign of a vital democratic system because the people always have to keep their eyes on their leaders. To give too much power to one individual is a kiss of death; but those compatriots who voted for B’CON don’t care and they have not even learned any lesson from history.   Despite the fact that the death of a dictato...

    Below is the entire Financial Times in English     ‘Land grabs’ in Africa replaced by ‘carbon grabs’, says bank chief   AfDB president Akinwumi Adesina says foreign companies paying derisory prices for carbon sequestration   David Pilling, William Wallis, Joseph Cotterill and Kenza Bryan in London   Published April 6 2025   Foreign companies are undervaluing Africa’s natural capital and paying derisory prices for its carbon sequestration, the head of the continent’s biggest development bank told the Financial Times.   “We used to have land grabs. Now we are having carbon grabs,” Akinwumi Adesina, the president of the African Development Bank, said of what he described as low prices paid for African carbon credits.   “The cost of getting permits in Europe probably can be as high as €200 a tonne,” he said. “Or you can go get it in Africa for $3. Countries are losing vast areas of forest, vast areas o...

BRICE-CLOTAIRE OLIGUI-NGUEMA CANNOT BE A NEW MAN! BRICE-CLOTAIRE OLIGUI-NGUEMA NE PEUT PAS ÊTRE UN HOMME NOUVEAU !

Image
    English version   Brice-Clotaire Oligui-Nguema's mother is from Ngouoni in Haut-Ogooué, and has family ties with the late Omar Bongo. Henri-Claude Oyima, the boss of the BGFI-Bank group, is the direct cousin of Brice-Clotaire Oligui-Nguema and if Henri-Claude Oyima is the nephew of Omar Bongo, it means that Brice-Clotaire Oligui-Nguema is also.   More importantly, Brice-Clotaire Oligui-Nguema has spent his entire military career in the Bongos' defense forces. He is therefore a man of the coterie and more Bongo-clan than Brice-Clotaire Oligui-Nguema would be impossible to find in Gabon.   Dear readers, this man cannot be presented to us as someone new. No, he is a member of the Bongo clan whose mission seems to have been to create the illusion of change to better allow the clan to survive politically in Gabon; Mission accomplished!   William Faulkner's famous quote, "The past is never dead. It's not even past," from his 1951 novel R...
