"LE GABON ENERVANT" OR "ANNOYING GABON"

    English Version   The press tells us that several planes belonging to the Gabonese State and used by the Presidency of the Republic are said to be being sold. For example, the Boeing 757 registered 9H-AVM would currently be priced at $ 12.5 million, or around 6.7 billion CFA francs.   Similarly, the Presidency's Boeing 757 is also on sale. But strangely, these two aircrafts, although flying the regal flag of Gabon, do not officially belong to Gabon, but to front companies whose manager is ... Maixant Accrombessi.   Already in 2020, the Gabonese presidency sold a Bombardier Global Jet 500 that had previously been owned by French businessman Vincent Miclet, before being sold to businessmen representing the interests of the Bongo family.   Who controls the State assets?             Version française   La presse nous révèle que plusieurs avions appartenant à l’Etat Gabonais et utilisés par la présidence de la République seraient en train d’êt

    English Version   In a republic, the mode of governance must necessarily be “republican”; that is, it must be based on the virtue of citizens to serve the public interest. The republic cannot not put up with administrative officials whose psychological dispositions and behaviors are anti-republicans in the sense that these people prefer to work with certain compatriots and not with others. In republics, we respect the rules, regardless of emotions.   According to the press, in the intelligence services of the National Gendarmerie, the boss of these services, Jean-Norbert Madjoupa, during his travels abroad, entrusts the interim of his function to a subordinate who is more than two levels below him, in defiance of the administrative rule which would like it to be the immediate deputy who ensures the interim.   But the example coming from above, how would things be different, in view of what happened following Ali Bongo's stroke, when the Republican interim was

    English Version   In Jeune Afrique, Henri-Claude Oyima, the Bongos’ financier, asserts that no country has become developed through the financial management methods of the IMF. This blog was rather surprised by the reactions of people who are nevertheless experts in the financial field such as Jean-Gaspard Ntoutoume-Ayi, who congratulated Oyima for having pronounced this commonplace.   Henri-Claude Oyima is being a demagogue, because he knows full well that the role of the IMF is not to develop countries. The IMF has three main functions: 1.        Monitoring global economic risks 2.        Advising members States on the management of their economy 3.        Acting as a lender of last resort. This means that when countries face a crisis and have few other options, the IMF becomes the only way they could still have access to credit.   It is not the IMF that has over the last 54 years, created a situation in which the country coffers have been looted.

    English Version   There are still readers who write to us to ask if we think that Jean Eyeghe-Ndong will accept Ali Bongo’s peace of the braves. We come here to respond to these readers by telling them that when Jean Eyeghe-Ndong agrees to meet Ali Bongo at the Palace of the Presidency of the Republic, it is because he is already in full within the peace of the braves with Ali Bongo. It really doesn't get any more complicated than that!       Version française   Il y a encore des lecteurs qui nous écrivent pour demander si nous pensons que Jean Eyeghe-Ndong va accepter la paix des braves d’Ali Bongo. Nous venons ici répondre à ces lecteurs en leur disant que lorsque Jean Eyeghe-Ndong accepte d’aller rencontrer Ali Bongo au Palais de la Présidence de la République, c’est qu’il est déjà en pleine paix des braves avec Ali Bongo. Ce n’est vraiment pas plus compliqué que cela !

    English Version   A reader wrote to ask us to devote an explanatory post on cryptocurrency, its operation and if possible, its advantages and disadvantages.   Cryptocurrency is a form of payment that can be exchanged electronically online, for goods and services. Many companies have issued their own cryptocurrencies, called tokens, that can be traded specifically for the good or service that these company provides. Consider cryptocurrencies to be similar to casino chips in that you first have to pay normal currency to buy cryptocurrency and then you use the cryptocurrency to access the goods or services attached to these cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies work using a technology called blockchain. This technology, Blockchain, is a decentralized technology spread across many computers that manages and records transactions.   The most advantageous aspect of cryptocurrency is that it is an alternative and decentralized financial system that differs from the tradition

    English Version   Jean Eyeghe-Ndong went to meet Ali Bongo; it's a fact. But curiously, Jean Eyeghe-Ndong refuses to reveal to the Gabonese people the substance of this meeting; trying to say that he went to plead his own economic situation following the regime's denial of his former prime minister's allowances since 2010.   Why does Jean Eyeghe-Ndong refuse to tell the whole truth to the Gabonese people? Why wanting to hide what will be revealed in a few weeks or months?   Dear readers, vagueness is only kept on things that are known to be shameful. When you know you're clean, you don't hide anything. Jean Eyeghe-Ndong's evasive attitude makes us predict that something dirty is brewing on the backs of the Gabonese people.   We all know the differences that Jean Eyeghe-Ndong has with the Ali Bongo regime, because he has often mentioned them in his public statements. Were these differences raised during this meeting? Were these differenc
