"LE GABON ENERVANT" OR "ANNOYING GABON"

 

 

    English Version   For the past few days, we have been witnessing the publication of trial balloons by many compatriots, some even university professors, announcing that the Gabonese population would be in favor of the promulgation of a strong presidential regime. This is a way for these people to say that Brice-Clotaire Oligui-Nguema should stay in power for a long time.   Dear readers, this is the kind of trickery that has led Gabon into the ditch we are currently witnessing. The Gabonese people have never said they want a strong presidential regime, and any Gabonese who prescribes such a regime for the country, is either politically illiterate or someone who eats their share next to Oligui-Nguema.   These "appellists" of a new kind even dare to push the callousness to the point of affirming that the French Fifth Republic is a strong presidential regime; which is very wrong!   In a strong presidential system, the government is not a collegial body ema

 

 

 

 

 

      English Version   A dictatorship is any authoritarian political regime that is established and maintained through violence and intimidation. It is often an exceptional regime, but it is mainly illegitimate, because it was imposed without the opinion of the population.   So, the truth is that the regime that is ruling Gabon right now, that is, the CTRI, is a dictatorship.   When we have established this intellectual basis, we can then start with the observation that these Gabonese who tell us that the CTRI should remain in power for 5, 10 or 20 years, are in fact asking for a military dictatorship to be installed in power in Gabon indefinitely, if not permanently, way. Dear readers, this is a very serious wish for us Gabonese.   Dear readers, what they want to impose on us is the militarization of the state. That is to say, the reining in of the political and economic class. In fact, Brice-Clotaire Oligui-Nguema and his friends of the CTRI are in the process of

 

 

      English Version   In a normal country, this gentleman would already be serving a long prison sentence. This gentleman who is at the center of all the shady financial arrangements of the Bongo-Valentins to the detriment of the Gabonese State, finds himself once again at the center of a huge agroforestry project in the province of Haut-Ogooué.   This is an agroforestry project in Léconi that is awaiting certification by the NGO Verra – a specialist in carbon offset projects, which has just been singled out by the English newspaper The Guardian. The project in question plans to plant eucalyptus trees, which are foreign to this ecosystem, on an ambitious area of 83,000 ha, under the pretext that these trees will allow an annual reduction of more than 1 million tons of CO2. The trick is that the promoters will recover an average income of $10 million per year over twenty years, i.e. a total of $200 million, i.e. at least 120 billion CFA francs. And who is behind this p

      English Version   The picture above shows hydroelectric Hoover Dam, located at the border of Nevada and Arizona in the USA. It was built from 1931 to 1936 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt at a cost of $ 49 million (29 billion CFAF), during the great depression in the USA.   This dam is built on Lake Mead, an artificial lake built by the US government for this purpose; and has a capacity of producing 2080 megawatt (MW) of electricity. Today Hoover Dam generates electricity for   Hoover Dam generates, on average, about 4 billion kilowatt-hours of hydroelectric power each year for use in Nevada, Arizona, and California - enough to serve 1.3 million people.   Compared to many Gabonese rivers, Lake mead is nothing and dozens of Hoover Dams could be built in Gabon. If Gabon had only 2 Hoover Dams, there would be enough energy for the entire population in all 9 provinces.   But in today’s situation, the Kingu é l é dam in Gabon produces 57.6-MW hydropower. T

    English Version   Many people talk about patriotism, even claim to be patriots and shout it loud and clear. But few people live it and demonstrate it.   Patriotism is supposed to be the feeling and demonstration of one's love for one's country. To be patriotic is to fight for one's country, on whatever front.   On Sunday, April 14, 2024, in the program "Plateau Spécial" on Gabon 1ère, they dealt with the problem of the scourge of drugs that now threatens Gabonese youth.   After an hour and 30 minutes of broadcast, Dr. Louma burst the abscess by demanding that the CTRI acts against those who have been involved in drug trafficking. Especially:   1.             Maixent Accrombessi who had been caught red-handed with the Gabonese presidential plane in Cotonou, carrying drugs and prostitutes. 2.             The charges against Noureddin and Sylvia Bongo indicate that they engaged in drug trafficking.   Faced with this explosive indictm
