        English version   In Gabon, obtaining a diplomatic passport has become very difficult. Even the children and spouses of diplomats no longer have this passport systematically. But if you are called Bongo, these rules no longer apply.   Noureddin Bongo, since it is about him, has just been awarded a diplomatic passport; he whose only function known at present is that of advising his father at the PDG. It is not a state or sovereign function; and should in no way give rise to the right to a diplomatic passport.   Rumor has it that Sylvia Bongo surreptitiously had her son granted diplomatic status so that he would be covered with immunity should he ever face legal proceedings. But who is trying to prosecute Noureddin Bongo? What did he do that was reprehensible? What are they hiding from us?             Version française   Au Gabon, l’obtention du passeport diplomatique ...

      English version   Gabon, the richest country in Africa on the basis of theoretical per capita income, is said to be experiencing serious financial shortcomings that have resulted in Gabon abandoning a helicopter at a provider company.   Indeed, for lack of money, the delivery of a helicopter by Heli Technique to the Gabonese government has been blocked for three years. The Gabonese state would be unable to honor a helicopter maintenance contract.   The helicopter in question, registered AS355 F2, belongs to the Gabonese police and has been immobilized for more than three years in the warehouses of Heli Technique, in France, near Meaux in Seine-et-Marne, while waiting to leave for Libreville. The Gabonese state has still not paid the last instalment of a million euro bill.   In a normal country, the Gabonese authorities would be asked to explain themselves; but in Gabon, move on, there is nothing to see!     ...

      English version   The term diaspora is commonly defined as the set of members of a people scattered throughout the world. By this definition, Gabon does have a diaspora; and the least we can say at the moment, is that most Gabonese in the diaspora are angry with those who run Gabon. The Bongos are getting back at them, because they are doing everything they can right now to prevent this diaspora from having an impact on the possibility of change in Gabon. As Mathias Otounga-Issibadjouo would say, the Gabonese diaspora is "undesirable" in Gabon.   The city of Paris in France is the cradle of the Gabonese diaspora. This, for obvious historical reasons. Over the years, this diaspora has spread to North America, in cities such as Montreal, Quebec City or Washington and New York.   But what does the growing presence of Gabonese who choose to live outside Gabon reveal? Quite simply, that university educated professionals who have experie...

 

 

    English version   Yesterday Jules Bourdes-Ogouliguende, Marc-Saturnin Nang-Nguema, Jean-Pierre Nzoghe-Nguema and so many others left us. Today, Casimir Oye-Mba has just left us. The feeling is the same in the minds of all Gabonese: "But what a waste!   So many talents in Gabon for this result?"   The observation leads us to the conclusion that Gabonese talents go through existence without really leaving an impact to the extent of the intrinsic enormity of the potential of abilities that is theirs. We notice that during their lives, many Gabonese talents see their aspirations disturbed, displaced, devalued, forgotten, exploited and distorted. At the end of their lives, they leave behind only regrets.   The consequence is that because Gabonese talents are sabotaged, the legibility of Gabon's future remains elusive, undefined, that is to say, not expounded or particularly thought out.   Today, the thinking of Gabonese talents see...

 

          English version   Collectivism makes reference to a society within which social and individual ties are the strongest. In such a society, people do not exist as individuals but are essentially part of strong cohesive groups, and individualism entails the loss of these strong ties between individuals and families. Historically and sociologically African societies are deeply collectivists.   In Gabon, for many members of the Bongo-Ondimba family, the dictatorship did work for them. They were the leaders of all sectors of the economy. Their family owned Delta Synergy, the biggest bank, etc., etc. They forgot that they lived in a collectivist society and became fundamentally selfish and individualistic. The problem of the regular Gabonese people were no longer their worries or concerns. They were too busy traveling the world and enjoying the finest things life has to offer. Even God became a stranger, for them.   Th...

      English version   Dear readers, in which country is there proof that an oil minister took a duffel bag, filled it with the sum of nearly 300 million CFA francs, sent it as a gift to the Prime Minister; Prime Minister who later refused the gift and returned the duffel bag; but this minister still keeps his job? In what country do these kinds of funny facts no longer even amuse citizens? In which country other than Gabon?   One of two things: either this case was fabricated to drown this Massassa and kick him out of the government; or Gabon is nevertheless a hell of a banana plantation!   You make the call!         Version française   Chers lecteurs, dans quel pays a-t-on la preuve qu’un ministre du pétrole ait pris un sac de voyages, l’ai rempli de la somme de près de 300 million de francs CFA, l’ait envoyé en cadeau au Premier Ministre ; premier ministre qui aurait par la suite refusé le ...

      English version   To launch the succession mechanism that will eventually bring Noureddin Bongo-Valentin to power, a ramp has been set up by his parents: the tailor-made position of general coordinator of presidential affairs. This position made Ali Bongo's son the main collaborator of his father in the governance of Gabon.   Act two of this staging has just been triggered, with the true-false departure of Noureddin Bongo-Valentin from this position of general coordinator of presidential affairs. Indeed, after entrusting him with the PDG, the ruling party, Ali Bongo will soon appoint his son to a much more significant function, in preparation for his candidacy for the 2023 presidential election.   The Ali Bongo camp prepares an accession of Noureddin Bongo-Valentin to power, in the Albert-Bernard Bongo model in 1967. That is to say, the 2023 campaign will be done by Noureddin who would pretend to represent his father, the real cand...
