"LE GABON ENERVANT" OR "ANNOYING GABON"

        English version   We speak of a "failed state" when the country is no longer able to exercise its essential functions and guarantee the security, well-being, and rights of its population. This is a situation of deep and widespread dysfunction of institutions and public authority. In Gabon, this situation is glaringly obvious.   Gabon is characterized by its inability to effectively carry out its sovereign functions and provide fundamental public services. Here are the main reasons why we assert this:   1.            Loss of sovereignty over its territory: as we recently observed with the Mbanié, Cocotiers, and Conga islands, and as is likely to happen again with land borders, or as we see with foreign gold panners scattered throughout our forests, the central government struggles to control its entire territory. Furthermore, both the small and large-scale economies of Gabon are...

 

        English version   There is a fundamental principle in law called: "Actori incumbit probatio," a Latin phrase meaning in English "the burden of proof lies with the plaintiff."   In other words, the law stipulates that it is not up to the opposing party to prove their innocence or the falsity of an allegation, but rather up to the one making a claim to prove it. One cannot simply assert that the other party "knows the truth"; concrete evidence (testimonies, documents, expert reports, etc.) must be provided to establish the invoked facts.   By asserting from his high pulpit, facing C’Bon, that the Equatoguinean adversaries "know that we know that they know that this Bata Convention was indeed signed...", Guy Rossatanga-Rignault knowingly violated a fundamental principle of law of which he claims to be a scholar. He deliberately ignored the principle that it is the person who makes a claim, who alleges a fact, who bears the ...

 

 

 

        English version   In his presentation before the Senate, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Régis Onanga-Ndiaye, recounted the event you can see in the images above. This blog is very concerned to note that the Gabonese minister presented the embrace of his Equatoguinean counterpart as a sign of sincerity for a fair negotiated solution. However, Talleyrand, often considered the father of modern French diplomacy, and Winston Churchill, the former British Prime Minister, both advised in their memoirs that diplomats should always be magnanimous towards an adversary they have just defeated.   Talleyrand is undeniably the most influential French diplomat of all time. His keen intellect, pragmatism, and ability to defend France's interests, even in the most unfavorable situations, are widely recognized. It was he who conceived the idea that France's permanent interests should take precedence over ideologies or political regimes. He was a brill...

      English version   If you go to New York or Washington D.C. in the USA, you'll notice that on some screens in public places, national debt figures are displayed in real-time. The total amount of this debt is shown, along with a conversion of the amount per American citizen. Today, as you can see in the image above, each American owes approximately 70 million CFA francs to the creditors of the American state.   However, Americans benefit from a robust economy with an unemployment rate below 5%, which is considered the threshold for full employment in the USA, given that approximately 5% of the population is deemed unable to work due to various disabilities. Americans have good hospitals, good roads, good airports, and good universities. Most importantly, they have clean tap water and constant electricity in their homes. Therefore, when Americans ask themselves where the debt money goes, the answers are evident right before their eyes. ...

 

 

 

 

      English version   While Gabon has just lost sovereignty over the islands of Mbanié, Cocotiers, and Conga, whose hydrocarbon reserve potential is immense, we now learn that the State of Texas in the USA has just injected 50 million dollars, or about 28 billion CFA francs, to conduct clinical trials on the efficacy of ibogaine, the active ingredient of iboga.   In the pharmaceutical industry, clinical trials, also known as clinical tests, are scientific studies conducted on human volunteers. These tests represent a crucial and regulated step in the development of a new drug or treatment. They aim to evaluate its efficacy, its non-toxicity for patients, and its optimal dosage, among other things. There are three phases of clinical trials, and only at the end of the third phase is it decided whether the tested molecule meets all conditions to be put on the market.   Iboga is a well-known shrub from Gabon, which has been used for millen...

      English version   "We are in the 5th Republic, we have a new Gabon". This is what these imbecilogists who serve as Svengalis of this regime that is at the head of Gabon insist on repeating to us.   We define imbecilogists as those educated people who are today specialists in imbecility that they actively propagate without moderation. They are experts in intellectual dishonesty, that is to say, in defending positions that they know to be false, but that they defend as the best solutions for the country.   When C'BON surreptitiously frees Sylvia and Noureddin Bongo at night, and allows them to exfiltrate to Angola, the fools will tell us: "It's a blessing in disguise; They are gone, we can now rebuild the country better without them."   When Gabonese jurists suicide the country with a totally crooked plea before the ICJ that ends in a 14-1 thrashing by Equatorial Guinea, the imbecilogists will tell us: "in any case, Mbanier,...
