THIS IS WHAT THE GABONESE PEOPLE MUST REMEMBER FROM THE ONGOING REVOLT IN THE UNITED STATES! VOICI CE QUE DOIVENT RETENIR LES GABONAIS DE LA RÉVOLTE EN COURS AUX ÉTATS-UNIS!
English version
The United States of America are boiling right know, because the people, mostly blacks but also others, are outraged over the senseless and unnecessary killing of George Floyd by the police in Minneapolis in Minnesota.
In 1966, during and interview, Martin Luther King said: “a riot is the language of the unheard”.
What Martin Luther King was saying, was that at some point people always get tired of the oppression and take the matter into their own hands.
What we are witnessing in the USA is proof that the human capacity for patience and fortitude, before clear injustice, is limited. Eventually, people will rebel and take to the streets.
May the people who govern Gabon think about that!

RUSSIA CLAIMS TO HAVE A TREATMENT FOR CORONAVIRUS! LA RUSSIE DIT AVOIR MIS AU POINT UN TRAITEMENT CONTRE LE CORONAVIRUS!
English version
Russia has announced to have an anti-influenza drug, Aviifavir, to treat Covid-19. This drug will start to be delivered to Russians hospitals this month.
The drug is based on favipiravir, an anti-influenza drug developed in Japan under the name Avigan, in a 50-50 joint venture with Russian pharmaceutical firm ChemRar. Preliminary trials show that it could shorten recovery times for patients with Covid-19. The final stage of Avifavir clinical trials involving 330 patients are ongoing. This drug is among the world’s first coronavirus treatments to be approved.
According to data received from an earlier clinical trial of the drug, 65% of the 40 patients tested negative for coronavirus after five days of treatment, which was two times higher than in the standard therapy group.

TRUMP HAS REFUSED TO UNVEIL OBAMA’S PORTRAIT IN THE WHITE HOUSE; BREAKING A 40 YEARS TRADITION! TRUMP A REFUSÉ LE VERNISSAGE DU PORTRAIT D'OBAMA DANS LA MAISON BLANCHE; UNE RUPTURE AVEC 40 ANS DE TRADITION!
English version
The US President, Donald Trump, has decided that he will not be unveiling former President Barack Obama's portrait at the White House, thus breaking a 40-year tradition. For decades, first-term presidents have held ceremonies in the White House to unveil the portraits of their immediate predecessors. Obama did so for former President George W. Bush in 2012.
Trump and Obama have the least cordial relationship of any current and former presidents in modern US history. Recently Trump has made baseless allegations that Obama committed an unspecified crime. Before becoming president, Trump spent years perpetuating a racist conspiracy theory regarding Obama's birth. Despite this, Obama was very respectful of Trump during the transition.
During his presidency, Trump has frequently blamed Obama for various issues he's faced as president, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

THOSE WHO ARE SURPRISED BY AMBIENT TRIBALISM AND FAVORITISM IN GABON ARE EITHER NAIVE, LIARS, OR HYPOCRITES! CEUX QUI S’ÉTONNENT DU TRIBALISME ET DU FAVORITISME AMBIANTS AU GABON, SONT SOIT NAÏFS, MENTEURS, OU HYPOCRITES !
English version
Dear readers, we have received many messages from you telling us that you could not believe how much tribalism was still present in the hearts of some Gabonese who would rather talk about ethnic differences and disagreements than working together for the common good.
Our answer to you is that if you are surprised by the fact that some still display overt tribalism in Gabon, where have you been? What do you think Gabon was about?
Under the Bongo’s regime, what has been called geopolitics was only a mechanism to normalize subtle, discriminatory, tribalistic behavior in the way the country was being administered. After 53 years of that kind of brainwashing, we now normalize this tribalism with our friends; at work, especially with who gets put in leadership positions, and our hiring practices; and more damaging, we normalize people being reduced to stereotypes based on their ethnic group.
We even normalize politicians telling us that individuals from this or that ethnic group…
