    English version   In the health sector and more specifically in the production of medicines, the system that has been put in place by Western countries to encourage manufacturers to get started and invest in this sector, is to guarantee them a patent giving them market exclusivity for a fixed period, often ranging from 15 to 25 years.   According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the pharmaceutical sector is the industrial sector that uses patents most extensively to stimulate and finance its investments in research and development.   The logic of these patents is justified as follows: 1. Research and development costs are high and very risky. 2. For 10 drugs in clinical trial phase, only one on average ever reaches the market. 3. Once the drug is on the market, the manufacturer must be allowed to recover their investment and make a profit; because without this protection, this manufacturer would face competition...

      English version   Gabon, in Libreville, will have a water park called Tsunami.   This water park will be located on Jean Paul II boulevard.   Jean Paul II boulevard is located about 600-700 meters from the sea. Is it necessary to have an artificial water park so close to the sea which is a huge natural water park?   More than 70% of the population of Libreville does not have running water at their taps on a regular basis.   The millions of cubic meters of water that will permanently supply this water park, where will they come from?   Are the Gabonese people going to agree not to have water at home, while this water park does have it?         Version française   Le Gabon, à Libreville, va se doter d’un parc aquatique baptisé Tsunami.   Ce parc aquatique sera situé sur le boulevard Jean Paul II   Le boulevard Jean Paul II est situé a environ 600-700 m...

  English version   Noureddin Bongo-Valentin's so called "task force" is kicking open doors, pretending to be surprised at the overbilling practiced by the stewards of the University of Libreville and their inevitable accomplices in the Gabonese financial administrations. Overbilling is endemic in Gabon; all of Delta Synergy's companies overcharge.   What is overbilling? How does it works? Can we just blame the university officers?   Overbilling is one of the most common techniques used by established businesses in Gabon to easily make money. The phenomenon of overbilling is not marginal; it even characterizes the functioning of the country's economy.   For example, overbilling for imports is the rule, and one can easily see the scale of the phenomenon by taking a quick tour of the supermarkets in Libreville. Only overcharging explains that 500 g of dry sausage, which costs 10 euros in France, is sold at Géant CKDO (the same brand) for 20,000 C...
