"LE GABON ENERVANT" OR "ANNOYING GABON"

 

    English version   Emmanuel Macron will arrive in March or April 2023 in Libreville, to take part in a summit on the preservation of Central African forests in Libreville. It is said that the French President would like to associate Denis Sassou-Nguesso, the Congolese President, with this summit; but the problem remains that Denis Sassou-Nguesso and Ali Bongo have a difficult relationship. What's more, the two dictators are vying for the leadership of green diplomacy in Central Africa.   The press tells us that to appease the situation, Macro would have invited Denis Sassou-Nguesso to the Elysée during the month of December 2022 or January 2023.   The Libreville summit would be hosted by Lee White, and his main objective would be, what else? But the search for carbon funds obviously. Nevertheless, in the race for carbon financing, Congo has also found its Lee White, in the person of the Frenchman Jean-Yves Ollivier, who plays with Sassou-Nguesso, the same role as L

  English version   The press tells us that the Bongo family is preparing, in its own way, to retain power in 2023; power that they now consider belongs to her.   Frédéric Bongo and Noureddin Bongo are said to be surreptitiously setting up a coordination system for all the country's intelligence services. It will be a centralized service, bringing together all existing intelligence agencies. This service will include a major electronic wiretapping and interception center.   The current intelligence services that will have to be centralized are: the General Directorate of Special Services (DGSS) of the Republican Guard; the General Directorate of Research (DGR) of the gendarmerie; and Silam.   This is how the Bongos are once again preparing to tie up the Gabonese people and prevent them from freely choosing their president. But you who oppose the Bongos, how are you preparing?         Version française   La presse nous apprend que la famille Bongo s’a

      English version   It is public knowledge that: Kuwait Sovereign wealth fund: $738 billion Saudi Sovereign wealth fund: $620 billion Qatar Sovereign wealth fund: $445 billion Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund: $708 billion Dubai sovereign wealth fund: $299 billion   Does anybody know the value of Gabon’ sovereign fund called the Strategic Investment Fund of Gabon? Why is its value kept secret by the Bongos?       Version fran ç aise   Il est de notoriété publique que : Le fonds souverain du Koweït a une valeur de 738 milliards de dollars Le f onds souverain saoudien a une valeur de 620 milliards de dollars Le fonds souverain du Qatar a une valeur de 445 milliards de dollars Le f onds souverain d’Abou Dhabi a une valeur de 708 milliards de dollars Le f onds souverain de Dubaï a une valeur de 299 milliards de dollars   Est-ce que quelqu’un connaît la valeur du fonds souverain du Gabon appelé le Fonds d’investissement stratégique du Gabo

      English version   In Gabon, the same government that lets the national infrastructure to the point of the national road shown above, is telling us that it will bring us prosperity.   Apparently, the members of the Ali Bongo’s regime have no idea how poor infrastructure is undermining the nation’s economic and social development quest.   The state of current Gabonese infrastructure, apart from adversely affecting our nation’s economic development, has also badly affected the social environment, and negatively affected the standard of living of the people, thereby affecting our overall psychological sense of well-being.   In virtually all sectors, from electricity to transportation, communication, aviation, education, health, etc.; the absence of critical and needed infrastructure has affected negatively the lives of the people and as a consequence the Gabonese have not enjoyed a robust environment that could deliver the best services to them.   Despite nume

 

 

 

    English version   Dear readers, above is a picture showing how the Japanese football team left the dressing room after their win against Germany in Qatar.   The Japanese are teaching us about humanity, manners, values and more importantly respect for self and for others. This is clearly an indication of why Japan is one of the most successful culture and nation of the world.       Version fran ç aise   Chers lecteurs, ci-dessus vous avez une photo montrant dans quel état l’équipe de football Japonaise a laissé le vestiaire après sa victoire contre l’Allemagne au Qatar.   Les Japonais nous donnent une leçon d’humanité, de bonnes manières, de bonnes valeurs et, plus important encore, de respect de soi et des autres. C’est clairement une indication de la raison pour laquelle le Japon est l’une des cultures et une des nations les plus prospères du monde.

 

 

        English version   The press informs us that last weekend, Omar Denis Junior Bongo, Omar Bongo’s son and Denis Sassou-Nguesso’s grandson, went to Malabo ostensibly to support Teodoro Obiang Nguema during the final stretch of his electoral campaign, considering that this election is nothing but a formality. Teodoro Obiang Nguema will be re-elected to a sixth term as president.   It appears that Omar Denis Junior Bongo is nurturing his relationship with the ruling family of Equatorial Guinea; an alliance that may come handy has everybody knows that he is at loggerheads with his half-brother Ali Bongo who is the current president of Gabon, and it is being surmised that he would like to replace him at the presidency.   According to the article, Omar Denis Junior Bongo’s late mother, Edith Lucie Bongo Ondimba, was very close to the Equatorial Guinean First Lady, Constancia Mangue Nsue Okomo. It is said that after their mother’s death, the first Lady of Equatorial Gu

 

    English version   On Thursday, November 18, 2022, a website was put online to document the immense career of Pierre Claver Akendengue. The event took place at the French Institute of Gabon. This blog has scrutinized the videos of the event and can conclude that if the party was beautiful, we can deplore that the room was not full.   Pierre Claver Akendengue is to Gabonese culture, what a Georges Brassens is to French culture. It is therefore surprising that the launch of its website did not attract more people. The room was only 60-70% full at most. That's too bad.   Dear readers, being an artist in Gabon is a sacrifice. In our country, culture is obviously not yet an industry. Artists do not receive royalties. Many artists have to stop their careers momentarily in order to earn a living in other fields. Sociologically, the arts as a whole in Gabon are not encouraged, despite being highly prized by the public. This blog can even say that the arts are despised by p

 

 

 

 

 

 

      English version   In Gabon we have just witnessed a very worrying situation that saw a woman, an employee of CNSS as an auditor, being kidnapped in broad daylight in front of the headquarters of this parastatal company, sequestered for several hours, then brought back to the same place naked and traumatized. All this, without the attackers being worried.   Dear readers, who in Gabon can afford to act like this with impunity? For this blog, there is no doubt that these repeated kidnappings and intimidations come from members of the regime themselves who operate via their paramilitary groups to harass the intractable.   These intimidation campaigns are also proof that the regime has no desire for its pseudo-reforms to succeed, because this regime cannot reform itself and risk scuttling itself by eliminating its own way of subsistence. It uses the administrative apparatus to announce reforms, and the judiciary that is supposed to be independent and impartial, to anno
