English version La Lettre du Continent informs us of the recent legal and financial reorganization of the security company SGS, belonging to the Bongo family and to the Delta Synergie octopus. When the family jewels start to lose their luster, it means that things are getting worse. But we Gabonese, will not forget that auxiliaries of the SGS were used by the regime, during the massacres perpetrated against the Gabonese people from August 31st 2916. Because we will not forget, we will not give up! Version française La Lettre du Continent nous informe de la récente mise sous redressement judiciaire et financier, de la société de gardiennage et de barbouzerie, SGS, appartenant à la famille Bongo et faisant partie de la pieuvre Delta Synergie. Quand les bijoux de famille commencent a perdre de leur splandeur, c’est que les choses s’aggravent. Mais nous Gabonais, n’oublions pas que les auxiliaires de la SGS ont été utilisés par le régime, lors des m

English version What will they invent as charges against Hervé Mombo Kinga? Infringement of State security? Trouble to public order? Insult to the President of the Republic or his wife? Illegal possession of firearms? To having set fire to the embassy of Benin, according to a testimony by Bobo? What will they invent to justify the incarceration of this valorous compatriot? We will not give up! Version française Que vont-ils inventer comme chef d’accusation contre Hervé Mombo Kinga ? Atteinte à la sureté de l’Etat ? Trouble à l’ordre public ? Injure au Président de la République ou à son épouse ? Possession illégale d’arme à feu ? D’avoir mis le feu à l’ambassade du Benin, selon le témoignage à charge de Bobo ? Que vont-ils inventer pour justifier l’incarcération de ce valeureux compatriote ? On ne lâche rien !

English version Geopolitics on the cheap continues in Gabon. After Didjob Divungi di Ndinge who was a decorative Vice-President under Omar Bongo, it is another southerner, more precisely a Punu from Ngounié, who will still serve as furniture for Ali Bongo in this function. According to La Lettre du Continent, the objective of this appointment would be to bring the southern part of the country around Ali Bongo and to allow him to better counter the Fangs who represent for him a lost cause since they mostly support Jean ping. La Lettre du Continent tells us that in this mission, Maganga Moussavou will be able to count on a family triumvirate composed mainly of: Biendi Maganga Moussavou, his son who is also the Minister of Small Business of Ali Bongo as well as General Secretary of the PSD, dad’s party. Albertine Maganga Moussavou, his wife who is also Co-President of the PSD, and a PM to the parliament on behalf of this party. Alain Ditona Moussavo

English version According to La Lettre du Continent, the situation of the debt of the State towards Veolia is astronomical. So much so that Veolia’s Mr. Africa, Patrice Fonlladosa, had to call on the Prime Minister of Gabon, to remind him of the non-payment of the Gabonese government's debt to Veolia. This debt now stands at more than 56 billion CFA francs, and it increases each month by another 2 billion CFA francs. It is also reported in La Lettre du Continent that since last March, the Gabonese state no longer regularly pays its consumption of water and electricity. To avoid this situation, Veolia is now blocking its payment of taxes and royalties. The Veolia Group has also expressed its concern about the future of the sector in Gabon under current conditions. These letters to the head of the Gabonese government caused a violent reaction from the outgoing Minister of Water and Energy, Guy Bertrand Mapangou, who denounced them as "remarks and practice

English version It is La Lettre du Continent which states in its latest edition that the new government of 38 members formed by Ali Bongo, will not ease the political crisis that Gabon is experiencing since August 2016. This malaise is as much political as it is economic and social. Ali Bongo would have all the difficulties to stem this crisis, in a context where Jean Ping continues to claim with fervor, his victory. Fragilized by the risks of internal uprisings in the country, Ali Bongo would have positioned his loyalists in the strategic ministries that are Defense with Etienne Massard Kabinda Makaga, and the Interior with Lambert Matha. La Lettre du Continent also tells us that in spite of appearances, Maixent Accrombessi's men would still have their hand on the economic sector of the regime, with Jean-Fidèle Otandault in the Ministry of Budget, which must imperatively manage the Gabonese debt in a context in which crude oil prices continue to fall and G

English version In a dictatorship, given that the people have little power and that public opinion does not count at all, one can say one thing today, and declare the opposite tomorrow, while denying that they have ever supported what they said yesterday. Pierre Claver Maganga Moussavou has just made the sad demonstration of that for us. As a nostalgic of the time of Omar Bongo, Maganga Moussavou showed us that he was ready to disavow himself and lie at any time, if it allowed him to reach a higher position. Despite the fact that Gabon is sinking into an unprecedented political crisis, in repression and arbitrariness all round, Maganga Moussavou chose to lie to us to justify himself before Ali Bongo. There are several arrests of activists, most of them young people, followed by torture in the police stations and prisons, but Maganga Moussavou does not say a word, preferring to lie to us. After the fraudulent election of 2016, Maganga Moussavou first s

Here is the congratulatory message from Maganga Moussavou to Jean Ping after the 2016 presidential election. It is a question here of the Gabonese people and the entire Gabonese nation. Voici le message de félicitation de Maganga Moussavou à Jean Ping après l’élection présidentielle de 2016. Il est bien question ici de peuple Gabonais et de la nation Gabonaise toute entière. 2016 In this week's Jeune Afrique, Maganga Moussavou tries to assert that he congratulated Jean Ping only on his victory in the province of Ngounié; which is absolutely false when one reads his text above. When leaders have to lie like this because Ali Bongo puts a small piece of beefsteak in their beak, it must mean that their honor has long been buried. Dans Jeune Afrique de cette semaine, Maganga Moussavou tente d’affirmer qu’il n’a félicité Jean Ping que pour sa victoire dans la province de la Ngounié ; ce qui est archi faux quand on lit son texte ci-dessus. Quand des r

English version We already knew that Ali Bongo was a caricature, but incompetence to this degree, even for him, is inconceivable. Ali Bongo reportedly appointed a Minister of the Budget, who was forced to resign after three days; on the grounds that the woman was dragging noisy cans of worms. Yes, but the appointment process is not a matter of five minutes, they have to evaluate the people proposed and do the due diligence to find the best possible people for the positions to be filled. How can one justify or excuse that a regime has the minister's costume put on someone in the process of judicial investigation, but after three days the regime suddenly recalls its error and precipitately asks this person to resign, while retaining in the same government other ministers suffering from similar problems. The limits of the incompetence of this regime seem endless! Ali Bongo is the Chief Executive. He appoints a Prime Minister who heads his government. It is t

English version The resistance is holding well, but the repression on our compatriots in the country is getting worse. Our compatriot Hervé Mombo Kinga has been arrested. We must find a way to ensure that the repression inflicted upon our compatriots in the country, costs dearly to Ali Bongo. We must at our level, make them the bill of this savage repression, very steep. Here are some unstoppable actions within our reach: • Ali Bongo and his family have ties outside Gabon. Some Gabonese already make life difficult for them; it is to be encouraged, but we must do so even more systematically. • Companies that operate in Gabon and have their headquarters in our countries of residence must be besieged in a legal but firm manner. We must provide them with documentation of the acts of repression of Ali Bongo, while sending the same documents to the local press. Even if there is no reaction at the beginning, if we remain firm as we are at the Trocadero, they

His name is Hervé Mombo Kinga, he is not a criminal; he just wants to live in a free country. He has been kidnapped by Ali Bongo’s militiamen. Il s'appelle Hervé Mombo Kinga, ce n'est pas un criminel ; Il voudrait juste vivre dans un pays libre. Il a été kidnappé par les milices d'Ali Bongo.

English version It is now clear that the Gabonese people have changed. If Ali Bongo thinks that he can win the Gabonese people over, despite his defeat in the 2016 presidential election, and the assassinations he organized to establish himself in power, it means that he is dealing with the wrong period and people. The Gabonese who in the 90s and 2000 were demobilized when opposition leaders joined the Bongo regime, now stand away from any systematic commitment to politicians and take an increasingly republican posture that is aligned on what other free people are doing the world over; That is, an opposition based on principles and not on people. The political environment of Gabon is changing, as blindly following disappears in favor of positions analyzed and targeted based on the objectives of collective freedom. Since 1990, political events have made the Gabonese people understand that they must change their mind set and stay away from an approach of admiring o
