      English version   The last journey of a deceased person is sacred and is often not a simple matter. The family must organize the funeral within a short time, even though it is under the influence of emotion. But when the Gabonese state comes to make the situation more complicated, there is reason to despair for the already afflicted family.   Dear readers, for a few days now, because of the lamentable state of the road leading them to Iboundji in the province of Ogooué-Lolo, a family is stuck in the mud with the coffin containing their relative that they lead to its final resting place.   Who in 2009 had said that if the PDG had two feet, Haut-Ogooué was the right foot, and Ogooué-Lolo was certainly the left foot.   Here is the Bongos’ Gabon!         Version fran ç aise   Le dernier voyages d’un défunt est sacré et n’est pas souvent chose simple.
