GIVEN WHERE GABON IS, BRICE-CLOTAIRE OLIGUI-NGUEMA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF MORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS! AU POINT OÙ EN EST LE GABON, BRICE-CLOTAIRE OLIGUI-NGUEMA DEVRAIT S’OCCUPER DE CHOSES PLUS SÉRIEUSES !

    English version   In Gabon, in recent years, a number of activists have been using the internet and digital technologies to promote their political or social causes, often by spreading information, organizing online campaigns, or even engaging in alert activities to draw attention to their issue, essentially using the digital space as a platform for change as they see it.   The internet is an uncontrollable and inherently free medium that will frustrate those who believe that free speech can be stymied with the push of a button. It appears that Brice-Clotaire Oligui-Nguema has grown increasingly frustrated by what some Gabonese activists are saying about him and about his rule, on the internet. He is now decided to counter attack by threatening these activists of law suits in the countries where they reside.   In fact, Brice-Clotaire Oligui-Nguema would like to obstruct certain information and views shared online by Gabonese activists, by us...

FUNDAMENTALLY, DICTATORSHIPS ALL LOOK THE SAME! FONDAMENTALEMENT, LES DICTATURES SE RESSEMBLENT TOUTES !

Image
    English version   Throughout history, all dictatorships have maintained a grip on power via fear, surveillance and murder for those who resist but plenty of money for those who are willing to sell their souls.   In 1994, the heir to the Syrian dictatorship, Bassel Al Assad, died in a car crash. The father, had a view of building a dynasty that would rule Syria for generations. He called on the younger brother, Bashar al-Assad who was an ophthalmologist living in London, to come back to Syria and to enter politics to become the new successor. The regime's propagandists quickly started to build a cult of personality around the young ophthalmologist so his rise to power would seem inevitable to the people.   The father wanted to build up Bashar al-Assad's legitimacy inside the government by giving him positions of increasing authority; so that he'd be able to take over when the time came. Just like Omar Bongo did with Ali Bongo. It was the same ...

REPUBLICAN MEETING OR INVITATION TO COMPROMISE? THE FUTURE WILL REVEAL THE ANSWER ! RENCONTRE RÉPUBLICAINE OU INVITATION À LA COMPROMISSION ? L’AVENIR NOUS LE RÉVÈLERA !

    English version   In the Gabonese political scheme, republican encounters between those in power and the opposition are not yet rooted in the country's political and social culture. One can rightly wonder why Brice-Clotaire Oligui-Nguema met Albert Ondo-Ossa, if it was not only to use him as a backdrop to present a republican image of someone who is heading towards dictatorship in deeds.   If compromise is the art of politics, in Gabon compromission is practiced. The future will enlighten us!           Version française Dans le schéma politique Gabonais, les rencontres républicaines entre pouvoir et opposition ne sont pas encore enracinées dans la culture politique et sociale du pays. On peut à juste titre se demander pourquoi Brice-Clotaire Oligui-Nguema a reçu Albert Ondo-Ossa, si ce n’était que pour s’en servir comme toile de fond pour présenter une image républicaine de quelqu’un qui se dirige vers la dictatu...

ANTI-INTELLECTUALISM IS RAMPANT IN GABON! L’ANTI-INTELLECTUALISME SÉVIT AU GABON!

Image
    English version   In Gabon, Albert Ondo-Ossa, Professor of Economics, is today one of the few politicians to appeal to the thinking skills of his compatriots. But even the Oliguist intellectuals bury their heads in the sand when they analyze Albert Ondo-Ossa's words.   As proof, this blog received a note from a reader with an advanced degree in Sociology and a hyper Oliguiste, who told us that Albert Ondo-Ossa's analyses were unpatriotic because he would be against the takeover of Assala and consequently he would be against the energy independence of Gabon.   This blog took the time to remind the eminent sociologist that his erudition, recognized by many Gabonese, should not allow him to misinterpret Albert Ondo-Ossa's words, because he is not against the purchase of Assala, but rather against the methods used by the transitional regime to make this purchase. There is a huge difference between being against the act of buying and being against t...
