"LE GABON ENERVANT" OR "ANNOYING GABON"

To read click here Pour lire cliquer ici English version Dear readers, we see it with the debate about the CFA Franc, where France goes so far as to deny that this currency is beneficial for her, while she is torpedoing the establishment of a truly independent currency the Eco. We see this in Belgium, where many right-wing politicians still today deny the human and economic crimes committed by King Leopold in Congo, Burundi and Rwanda. Here comes from England, an article published in the journal "The Federalist", which specializes in colonial nostalgia and the presentation of that endeavor as having been beneficial to the native populations. This article basically says perniciously that western countries were able to pursue colonial ventures, not because they were looking to exploit the colonies, but because they were already rich. Hence colonialism was a consequence and not the genesis of Western development; and that the only benefactors of col...

English version For a very long time in Gabon, the director of intelligence was Laurent Nguetsara, a relative of Omar Bongo. Today, the head of internal intelligence is Bernard Gnamankala, Laurent Nguetsara’ son. According to Africa Intelligence, Bernard Gnamankala is a graduate of the FBI National Academy (Quantico, University of Virginia) in the USA, and has spent his entire career in intelligence in Gabon. He was also trained in France at the General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI). The appointment of Bernard Gnamankala as head of internal intelligence aims to cleanse the DGDI of the pawns that Brice Laccruche Alihanga had placed there.

English version Frank Nguema’s management of the family company TV +, started by the late André Mba-Obame, is being legally challenged by other family shareholders.

English version Recently, the spokesperson of the Presidency of the Gabonese Republic, Jessye Ella Ekogha, said that 80% of the students of Omar Bongo University (UOB), left this higher education institution, either without a job or without a degree. It's serious! Dear readers, this statement from Jessye Ella Ekogha simply tells us that the Bongo regime has succeeded in its mission of ultimately assassinating education in Gabon. Indeed, in 1980, the statistics were reversed, in the sense that nearly 90% of the students who left the Gabonese university, had their diploma in their pocket, and managed to find a job. The question that Jessye Ella Ekogha should be faced with is how did we get to this point? But he will never ask it, because his position depends on it! We will not give up! Version Française Récemment, le Porte-parole de la présidence de la République Gabonaise, Jessye Ella Ekogha, déclarait que 80% des étudiants de l’Universit...

English version Gabon's problems are many and if we are not careful, we can expose ourselves to a dispersion that will make us focus on the wrong problems which will only lead to false solutions. This blog would like to ask the Gabonese people to draw inspiration from the story below to understand how to think deeply about a problem and its solutions. During World War II, as shown in the picture above, the Allies troupes mapped bullet holes in planes that were hit by Nazi fire, but were able to return nevertheless to their airbases. They initially sought to strengthen the planes by reinforcing areas heavily damaged by enemy artillery, so they would be able to withstand these aerial battles even more. Their immediate decision was to rebuild and reinforce areas of the planes that had received more bullets. Theoretically, it was a logical deduction. After all, these were the most affected areas. They asked a mathematician called Abraham Wald, to look at their...

English version Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta, the President of Mali, has just been deposed. He was a staunch French ally and was basically controlled from the Elysée Palace. However, he was very unpopular with the people of Mali who only saw him as a stooge; and this continues to be the problem in francophone Africa: leaders that are more loyal to France than they are to their own people. France continues to this day, to want to control all valuable resources of its former African colonies, such as hydrocarbon reserves, telecoms, port management, administration of railways, retail trade systems and even the contracting companies that carry on the production of the substructure. Most Africans are saying enough of this “independence” that cannot go beyond the form Now is the time for African people to gain their full economic and social sovereignty rights. France’ shenanigans continue to be evident in Africa, as was again the case for the reform of the CFA Franc. As yo...

L'influence française imprègne toujours chaque fissure et crevasse de la vie gabonaise, de la langue aux croissants frais dans les boulangeries et les courses de chevaux à Paris qui passent à la télévision alors que les parieurs sirotent de la bière française. «Les Français sont chez eux au Gabon, ils ont leurs magasins, leurs restaurants», a ri Annie, la gérante Gabonaise d'un bar qui se moque des Gabonais qui fréquentent les mêmes lieux. "Ils se croient en France", a-t-elle déclaré. La France a officiellement colonisé le Gabon à partir de 1885 et ce pays fit parti...
