"LE GABON ENERVANT" OR "ANNOYING GABON"

    English Version   Dear readers, some of the conclusions of the various commissions of the inclusive national dialogue have been published. Unfortunately, most of them are unanalyzable, because in order to analyze them, one would have to align these conclusions with the objectives of the dialogue. But the objectives of the dialogue were never made available to the general public. So, the conclusions come a bit without any frame of reference.   Even more problematic, these conclusions are merely statements, without details. For example, when we read: "Providing Gabon with a depoliticized administration..." What does that mean exactly? What is it that makes the Gabonese administration politicized today? By what mechanism are we going to depoliticize it? How will we measure this depoliticization?

      English Version   In less than a month, Brice-Clotaire Oligui-Nguema's inclusive national dialogue has been completed. If we listen to the regime's new bards, this dialogue would have been a great success. How do they know? No response.   •               The PDG is suspended. Is this a step forward? If so, why? •               Is the suspension of all political parties a good thing? Why?   If you look closely, what do the new sycophants base their satisfaction on?
