"LE GABON ENERVANT" OR "ANNOYING GABON"

      English version   Omar Bongo said: "I can turn a dog into a minister and a minister into a dog". Well, speaking of dogs, he appointed them to many positions of responsibility, and what had to happen, happened. These dogs behaved with the public goods, like dogs.   A popular saying goes: "Whoever wants to drown his dog accuses it of rabies." Sylvia and Noureddin Bongo like to have their hands on the juicy sectors of the country; and ports and customs take in a lot of money. They, therefore, have decided to expel the current bosses from these sectors and replace them with others, chosen by them.   To achieve this, the strategy is as follows: the dogs in function at the moment have skeletons in their closets; Sylvia and Noureddin Bongo know this. They, therefore, have decided to launch a financial investigation which is entrusted to the DGR. The targets are identified and their replacements too. The rest will only be staged. They will pin

 

        English version   Instead of working to resolve all the crises that plague Gabon, whether institutional, economic, health or educational, the Bongo regime prefers to create others. The diversity of the Gabonese populations does not always seem to have dissuaded the members of the nomenklatura which leads Gabon, to give up their ambitions to balkanize the country so that a distrust between ethnic groups sets in, which would lead to a fragmentation of the nation from which the Bongos would benefit.   The balkanization of the country by the fueling of identity politics is particularly maintained in an obsessive manner by members of the regime from the Haut-Ogooué province, who persist by all means in defending the lost cause of eternally maintaining the Bongo family in power.   In this battle, they will lose because Gabon is not a country apart and Haut-Ogooué a province different from all the others. Many Haut-Ogooué nationals are ashamed of what the Bongo

        English version   The teaching profession is one of the most important for the development of a country. Indeed, teachers actively participate in nation building, developing the skills of the population over generations and thereby promoting the betterment of society. Among all the trades, teachers are practically the only ones to have a direct impact on the ability of any citizen to succeed or not in life.   Dear readers, you will therefore have understood that when teachers are mistreated, it is the development of the country that is mistreated. To assess the importance that the Bongo regime gives to teachers, we wanted to look at a simple criterion: the salaries that the Bongo regime grants to teachers; because to know if a country values its teachers, one has to look at how much they are paid.   This blog has engaged in a very simple exercise of comparison: how much does the highest paid French minister receive in monthly salary, and how much has the highe

        English version   Mathias Otounga Ossibadjouo is the current Gabonese Minister of Decentralization, Cohesion and Territorial Development. This man made threats against another Gabonese citizen, whose only fault would have been to have gone on a political visit to Okondja, the hometown of Mathias Otounga Ossibadjouo. This sectarian conception of the republic is inacceptable at any level whatsoever, but it is even more so for a minister of the republic!   When one is so allergic to political pluralism and the freedom of movement of all Gabonese throughout the national territory, one cannot be a ministerial authority representing all these Gabonese. This goes without saying!   Despite the confiscation of power, the Gabonese people have learned to organize themselves politically and socially around several poles, which, while sometimes clashing, have always been able to recompose themselves according to political circumstances and social convergences and continu

 

 

      English version   Gabon’s debt is spiraling as the Ali Bongo regime is in a engaged in accounting illusions leading them to believe that it can compensate for its lack of economic performance through the race for indebtment; because Gabon has natural resources to pledge to creditors. The Ali Bongo regime has raised Gabon’s debt from less than 20% to over 70% in a decade, without Gabonese knowing exactly what has been done with the money collected through these debts. Dear readers, this is called suicidal blindness by unorthodox economic methods.         Version française   La dette du Gabon devient vertigineuse car le régime Ali Bongo est dans un engrenage d’illusions comptables lui faisant croire qu’il peut compenser son manque de performance économique par la course à l’endettement ; car le Gabon a des ressources naturelles à gager auprès des bailleurs de fonds. Le régime Ali Bongo a porté la dette du Gabon de moins de 20% a plus de 70% en une décennie,

The Bongo family, who are originally from there, have ruled Gabon since 1967; for 54 years. More than half a century.   Along the way, the Bongos conception of power has made Haut-Ogooué into a province from which come many nationals occupying sensitive positions in the defense and security forces, in high finance and the high administration of the country. These people are the protectors of the Bongo regime, because if it falls, they think they will fall with it; and when you've developed habits in 54 years, it's hard to break them.   An unwritten law would prohibit non-Haut-Ogooué nationals from campaigning there. Paul Mba Abessole had been hunted there in his time; Pierre Mamboundou too. Andre Mba Obame had been chased away there; and today it’s Alexandre Barro-Chambrier’s turn to experience the wrath of the regime’s thugs

      English version   Alexandre Barro-Chambrier will be a candidate for the presidency of the Gabonese Republic in 2023. He is already in the pre-campaign. It's an open secret.   Alexandre Barro-Chambrier was visiting Haut-Ogooué at the end of the past week. Some Gabonese of this province offered him their hospitality, which is normal between citizens of the same country. The Ali Bongo regime reacted badly to that visit and in retaliation, its supporters burned down the Lemboumba-Lepandou’s family house in the locality of Okondja. Nothing less!   From Germain Mba to the present days, the Gabonese people have always been confronted with a wave of political violence inflicted upon them by the Bongos. The Gabonese people have always witnessed, during elections or demonstrations that question the management of the country by the Bongos, traumatic scenes with the omnipresence of death that generate psychic shocks, the main characteristic of which is the intention

        English version   Dear readers, this documentary that is supposed to tell us about the history of Libreville, is just a clever propaganda tool to portray Omar and Ali Bongo as the builders of modern Gabon. This is a lie this blog cannot tolerate.   As an illustration of the deceptive and propagandistic nature of this documentary, at the 46th minute, the narrator tells us that upon coming to power in 1967, Albert Bongo was so hard-working that he granted nearly 5,000 audiences per week. Dear readers, this figure is simply impossible because there are 24 hours in a day, and 60 minutes per hour, and 60 seconds per minute. A day therefore has: 60X60X24 = 86400 seconds. A 7-day week would therefore have 86400X7 = 604800 seconds.   Using all the seconds available in a calendar week, for Albert Bongo to be able to grant 5,000 meetings per week, these meetings had to be particularly short: 604,800/5000 = 120.96   Dear readers, if Albert Bongo did not sleep at
