"LE GABON ENERVANT" OR "ANNOYING GABON"

English version The ordeal that Gabon's pensioners are currently experiencing is the illustration that what was once a right, the right to receive retirement after a professional life of sacrifice, is no longer respected by the Bongo regime. Gabon has a constitution and this constitution is based on the code of labor in which the rights of workers are inscribed. There is a social contract between the Gabonese State and workers, whether public or private: the state sets up a structure called social security; it receives contributions from active workers; and when they reach the age of retirement, these workers will receive from this same social security, a pension indexed on the amounts contributed over the years. But at the moment, for the vast majority of retired Gabonese, retirement is no longer a right, as many have been deprived of their pensions for months; and claiming payments exposes them to severe threats and violence by the regime. The right to ...

English version La Lettre du Continent tells us that Marie-Madeleine Mborantsuo would now be in the line of sight of Briche Laccruche Alihanga who would like to take control of the Constitutional Court. Indeed, the Constitutional Court must be renewed in October 2019 and this is the opportunity that would use Briche Laccruche Alihanga to get rid of her. He plans to install Gilbert Ngoulakia, who is the current head of the Gabonese Court of Accounts. Laccruche and Noureddin Bongo seem to already be preparing the next elections, which could be anticipated.

English version La Lettre du Continent tells us that the US Department of Justice would be interested in certain financial transactions carried out by Gabonese barons. A small company registered in the Seychelles called ISIS Investments, has reportedly made numerous real estate investments in the United States, in the Washington DC and Miami regions. This company also reportedly bought armored cars. However, according to the US Department of Justice, ISIS shareholders would be Gabonese officials; among them, Ali Bongo’s former Chief of Staff, Maixent Accrombessi. The United States has long been a favored destination for the klatocratic nomaklentura of Gabon. Pascaline Bongo had been exiled there for several years between Florida and California before returning recently to Libreville. In 2015-2016, Maixent Accrombessi also rented a large residence on Tracy Place, in the posh Kalorama district of Washington DC, near the official residence of the Ambassador of Ga...

English version It is Africa Energy Intelligence which says in its latest edition, essentially that Brice Laccruche Alihanga would have placed his friend Noël Mboumba as minister of petroleum, so that this would accelerate the liquidation of Sogara. Indeed, before entering the government, Noël Mboumba led Sogara. The method chosen to pass the pill was to claim that Sogara will simply be absorbed by Gabon Oil Co (GOC). The urgency of this decision comes from the fact that the IMF would have requested a deep reform of the oil sector in Gabon in exchange for a financial support plan. The IMF would have also asked to simply close the GOC. The regime, to save face, decided on an intermediate solution, not to frenzy the public by drastic job cuts. But the reality is there: Sogara is gone and the GOC should also disappear in the coming months. The promises of this regime are binding only on those who believe them! We will not give up! Versio...

English version Dear Gabonese hello! Unlike many of our compatriots, I find it very difficult to express myself on the web and even on the public squares today because I wonder more than in the past, if we are still in a State that is different from a jungle, or if native Gabonese would still manage this Gabon someday? As usual some will cry out that this is xenophobia, others will say tribalism. Gabon has reached a level that no longer allows us to look to the future with serenity: with the permanent concern to safeguard the system that allows foreign companies to continue looting without worry the wealth of Gabon by keeping the Gabonese people in misery and poverty, the proclamation of results overrides the will expressed at the polls. Thus, the Gabonese people are powerlessly witnessing the looting of their country. Who can give today the quantity of oil extracted from the Gabonese soil and at what price it is bought and how much it is sold for on the in...

English version His name is Franck Yann Koubdje and has just been appointed Director General of Public Accounting and Treasury. However, his appointment seems in violation of the decree establishing and organizing the Directorate General of Accounting and Treasury. This decree says this: "The General Directorate is placed under the authority of a Director General, appointed by decree of the Council of Ministers on the proposal by the responsible minister, from among the permanent public officials of the Treasury inspectors' bodies, the financial inspectors, the administrators of the economic and financial services, civil administrators, or contract agents of the State, all with at least ten years of professional experience in accounting, financial and economic management ". But Franck Yann Koubdje does not fulfill these conditions because he is an employee of BGFIBank and does not have 10 years of experience within the State Corporation that is t...

English version La Lettre du Continent tells us that Maixent Accrombessi, who was recently in Libreville, tried to save his foal Fidèle Otandault, in the government of the regime. Maixent Accrombessi would have done everything to ensure that his unwavering ally Jean-Fidèle Otandault, remains as irremovable Minister of Budget and Public Accounts of Gabon. But Lacruche Alihanga and Sylvia Bongo have decided otherwise since Otandault was demoted to the Ministry of Investment Promotion and replaced at the budget by Roger Owono Mba, a Brice Laccruche Alihanga’s sycophant. La Lettre du Continent tells us that the majority of the ministers appointed on June 10 are in fact followers of Laccruche Alihanga and members of his association of young emerging volunteers (AJEV). The strategic ministries of justice and the interior (police and intelligence) and the oil ministry, have gone to the friends of Laccruche Alihanga. Finish the Accrombessi era and now is the start ...

English version La Lettre du Continent tells us that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has disbursed only $ 395.9 million (229 billion CFA francs) out of the $ 642 million (372 billion CFA francs) that was to be paid to Gabon. The IMF is preparing to make a new payment to Gabon, but for a considerably reduced amount. The next two meetings between the institution and the Gabonese ministers of economy and budget would have been canceled, because Gabon has accumulated delays on the schedule of reforms established by the IMF. The next meeting between Gabon and the IMF is scheduled for September, which means that the next disbursement will not take place until December. Version française La Lettre du Continent nous dit que le Fonds monétaire international (FMI) n'a décaissé que 395,9 millions de dollars (229 milliards de francs CFA) sur les 642 millions (372 milliards de francs CFA) qui devaient être versés au Gabon. Le FMI s’apprêterait à faire ...

English version According to La Lettre du Continent, Ali Bongo's speeches on June 8 were intended to prove that he was now in full recovery. But behind all that, there was also a reshuffling of the cards of those who really controls the power in Gabon. There has been a strengthening of the presence of the family at the apex of the state. La Lettre du Continent tells us that Ali Bongo's son, Noureddin Bongo, has taken over the management of the private affairs of Ali and Sylvia Bongo (travel management, personal funds, agenda, etc.). This role was previously held by Ali Bongo's main aide, Arsène Emvahou. Noureddin Bongo is now part of the presidential cabinet. Noureddin Bongo is in negotiation with Maixent Accrombessi, to obtain certain sensitive files. Accrombessi is currently in Libreville. The Corsican mafioso Jean-Baptiste Tomi, known as "Bati", son of the godfather Michel Tomi, also makes a return in the circle of the men of confidenc...
