"LE GABON ENERVANT" OR "ANNOYING GABON"

English version  When you see the images of CBON in Woleu-Ntem making promises to the local populations straight out of the 1960s, you realize the extent of the backwardness that has accumulated over the years, not only in terms of infrastructure, but also, and most importantly, in people's mindsets. How can anyone take CBON seriously when he claims he doesn't belong to that class of African heads of state who invest in the West, while a Western investigation revealed that he owned at least three houses in the US, all paid in cash for over a million dollars—which amounts to more than 600 million CFA francs? Who are they trying to fool? The people of Woleu-Ntem have always asked for roads, but they are answered with promises. They ask for reliable hospitals, credible universities, and above all, the revitalization of the cocoa-coffee sector, which was destroyed by Omar Bongo to impoverish these populations, make them dependent, and thus kounabélisables at will.

English version  Ten African teams participated in the 2026 World Cup. Nine made it out of the group stage, which is 90%—a remarkable feat. In the Round of 32, only two made it through; two out of nine means 22% are in the Round of 16. At this stage, only one will reach the quarter-finals: Morocco. Africa is where it belongs. Senegal, Ivory Coast, DR Congo, Cape Verde, and now Egypt, were eliminated by conceding goals from the 80th minute onwards. Once or twice, we can talk about luck. But when 5 out of 9 teams are foolishly eliminated in this way, introspection is in order. Science is not wrong; the statistics are unforgiving. African teams fall apart starting from the 80th minute. That is the truth. Now, we must find the cure! Version française  Dix équipes Africaines participaient à la coupe du monde 2026. Neuf sont sorties des poules, soit 90%, un exploit. En 16ième de finale, seules deux ont franchi le cape, deux sur neuf c’est 22% qui sont en 8ième de finale. À ce stade,...

English version  The anger and bewilderment of the entire world in response to the remarks made by Paraguayan Senator Celeste Amarilla against Kylian Mbappé are entirely legitimate and justified. But the fundamental question remains: why do certain individuals believe they can behave this way, and do so openly? The insults hurled following this World Cup round of 16 match are of unprecedented violence and raise a fundamental question about the persistence of racial prejudice at the highest levels of certain countries. It is first important to nuance the idea of total impunity in this specific case. While the senator may have believed she could express herself in this manner without consequence, reality quickly caught up with her because Mbappé has the advantage of being French. Diplomatic and legal reactions: The French Football Federation (FFF) has announced legal action, and the Paraguayan government, along with the President of Congress, have firmly condemned and disavowed these...
