GOVERNANCE THROUGH GANGSTERISM! LA GOUVERNANCE PAR LE GANSTÉRISME!

Image
English version  CBON had the water delivery tanker trucks requisitioned under the pretext that these people were conducting an illegal business. But after demanding that these deliverymen accept his conditions and, above all, ally themselves with one of his cronies, he returned their vehicles to them, and the very same business that was illegal yesterday became legal today. This is not governance; this is gangsterism and extortion! Using public force to expropriate economic actors, not to clean up a sector, but to force them to integrate into a network of clientelism, indeed looks more like organized racketeering methods than state regulation. This type of maneuver follows a three-step modus operandi, highly characteristic of regimes that struggle to separate the public interest from clan interests: Facade criminalization:  CBON uses a legitimate pretext, in this case the supposed illegality of the water trade, to justify a heavy-handed crackdown. This perfectly feeds the nar...

IN FOOTBALL, AS IN ECONOMICS OR POLITICS, AFRICA IS AT ITS LEVEL! EN FOOTBALL, COMME EN ÉCONOMIE OU EN POLITIQUE, L’AFRIQUE EST À SON NIVEAU !

  English version   Dear readers, it is a fundamental reality of both history and modern development: the quality of leadership is often the definitive dividing line between national prosperity and stagnation. While geography, natural resources, and historical starting points certainly matter, it is ultimately how a country is governed that dictates its trajectory. The correlation between a nation's macroeconomic health, its political institutions, and its success on the soccer pitch is a well-documented phenomenon in sports economics. Just as inclusive institutions and fiscal discipline drive a country’s economic development, those same structural advantages scale down to produce elite athletic performance. This concept, popularized by researchers and books like Soccernomics, demonstrates that winning a World Cup is rarely just about raw, innate talent or luck. It is heavily dictated by quantifiable economic and political factors. A high Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capit...

English version  "Black people do not have the concentration to last more than 80 minutes," said a television commentator named Rade Bogdanović, a former Yugoslav international. The results of the Ivory Coast, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and more dramatically Senegal, seem to prove right all the racists who feed us their pseudo-science. Indeed, after a good, well-controlled match, the Ivory Coast was crucified by Erling Haaland, left completely alone at the penalty spot by the Ivorian defense. We were in the 86th minute. 2-1 for Norway and bye-bye Ivory Coast. The DRC scored in the 4th minute, and then played on equal terms with England before letting Harry Kane crucify Congo in the 86th minute. More dramatically and pathetically, Senegal gave Belgium a football lesson by leading 2-0, until Lukaku scored a first goal in the 86th minute, then Thielemans in the 89th, before finally losing to a very generous penalty. While it is true that this World Cup is marked by cruel ...
