20 billion = 20,000,000,000 ※ 👥 2 million people. 🇬🇦Gabon is an OPEC country like 🇧🇭 Bahrain with a tiny population. the people of Gabon should be so rich ....they do not work!! it has natural gas like Russia, gold and 💎diamond mines. The Bongo family does not have the missing billions like OPEC ruling families. some other entities are stealing the wealth
I'm not going to attack the Gabon people for celebrating. They are working with a limited amout of information. I can guarantee that most don't have access to the internet.
In a regional context, the notion implies that the remaining African nations ought to emulate the actions taken by others. Specifically, it suggests that these countries should strive to liberate themselves from the grip of Western imperialism. This entails breaking free from historical dependencies and asserting their sovereignty on their own terms. On an international scale, the concept signifies a resounding call from African voices for Western governments to disengage from African affairs. It reflects a collective desire for Africa to independently determine its own leadership and destiny, devoid of external interference driven by Western interests. The appeal is for a genuine and unbiased opportunity for self-governance, allowing the African nations to chart their own course and shape their futures in a manner that aligns with their unique cultural, social, and economic aspirations.
The coup is pre-emptive to keep Frances influence and defend its interests. In that way there will be no other coup where Gabon can gain real freedom and independence. Poor poor people of Gabon. Realy sorry for u.
The best approach is a strong constitutional structure and unbiased legislative processes. Coup’s would lead to more coups, how come we Africans don’t acknowledge this. We pay these soldiers to protect the law not to break it.
Just know that France supported and maintained this Family in power for all these 55 years. It was only possible because the French supported it, but now that Ali is not serving them they are turning their back and supporting the coup
It is possible that France is behind the coup in Gabon. The reaction of France propaganda media is too understanding of this coup. This is logical if France wants to be proactive in maintaining control of African countries that she thinks she may risk losing control of under the current circumstances.
The Cousin took over so it's not a real Coup it's a clever change of power to conduct business as usual. The Cousin already said he's taking no action against the family. So that explains what's really going on. France and the family devised this plan to secure Gabon for France
In Gabon, French interests are more significant than in any other African nation. Recently, an opposition leader disclosed that there are areas within Gabon where citizens can't enter without obtaining permission from France, and these are not confined to the French embassy.
🇬🇦Gabon is an OPEC country with an additional💎 diamond, gold and oil exports. it population of 2 million. THERE IS NO WAY that country should be that poor !!! no way 🇧🇭 Bahrain is also an OPEC country with a small population and it is a desert with no diamond mines or gold mines or 🌱 🌳 🌾forest the people in Gabon should be wealthy........................... and you can look at the cities in Gabon and see that their banks saw NEVER $$$ the billions it should intake per quarter. THE BILLIONS ARE NOT BEING TAKEN OUT , i think this countries wealth is stolen before it got to the shores. France prints the $$ CFA franc ....and control 100% of the exchange rate. if France run out of ink to print paper money? how will these countries circulate the cash??? its ridiculous to have another country hold your wealth You cannot give 100.00 USD to GABON, you have to give the $100 USD to French Banks, then French banks change it, take a free and give Gabon it in $ CFA franc. its like they are fcking 5 years old 🍼 👶🏽... it like when grandparent give the children money and the mother said "let me kep this safe for you!! and the child never see that money AGAIN 😆😁 = That is France 🇬🇦Gabon reservoir gold is so gone like all of those countries. the vault is empty. the relationship with France is beyond politics - it down right parasitic. AND UN has done nothing about it. useless
It is frustrating to me that Africans allow foreigners to prevent them from going to places within their country; as in South Africa, even after the "end of Apartheid" . Yet (mainly Europeans) continue to the promote the propaganda that Black people are the most violent race of people. Black people globally are too docile
Finally! 😂 You can tell Al Jazeera was spooked by the backlash against its Inside Story segments. This is the first time in many years I've seen African guests commenting on a situation in Africa. Many times, there is not even ONE, now we have three! 😅 Clearly, it was not impossible for them to have done this before. Let's hope they keep this up!
We hope this is not just fight for power at the top but nothing changing for the citizens . We saw that in Zimbabwe when the military installed the current leader Emmerson Mnangangwa after ousting Robert Mugabe. Everyone celebrated like we are seein in Gabon. We regret it today Nothing changed instead human rights abuses got worse. On 23 August Mnangangwa was re -elected in a massively rigged election condemned by SADC , AU , EU, and all international observers . People rejected Mnangangwa but he forced himself on them , a receipt for a coup and uprising.
Absolutely it's like reinstating the same rotten wheel again and again.zimbabwe we are a captured nation.and very calm ppl otherwise zimbabwe was gonna have civil war
🇬🇦Gabon is an OPEC country with an additional💎 diamond, gold and oil exports. it population of 2 million. THERE IS NO WAY that country should be that poor !!! no way 🇧🇭 Bahrain is also an OPEC country with a small population and it is a desert with no diamond mines or gold mines or 🌱 🌳 🌾forest. Gabon' GDP earrings are stolen before it reaches their hands. 20 billion = 20,000,000,000 ※ 👥 2 million people. = $$ not in banks either. WHERE IS THE WEALTH GONE?
Corrupt leaders make the people poor, no matter how rich the country may be. They become billionairs on the country's resources, while the people perish in poverty.
Did you make Research about Tinubu? He is very much under Pressure, because he lied completely about his Education and University Attendance, People don't know, who this Guy is. Why do you take this Guy for granted as a Source? Do your Research....
To answer, the statement of the posting video, The coup d’état in Gabon, means , Nothing, and it will never change nothing, Poverty Inside of any citizens in Gabon, It’s only the names, That, Has been changed, Otherwise, it’s the same selfishness, Evilness, Corruption people that will be in charge, But also, We thank God,That, it didn’t cause any, Civil war or tribalism violence against one another, Peace and one love everyone
An oil rich country with a population of less than 3 million still in poverty. Let the military leaders spread the wealth from oils to the poor people.
That's the best way to deal with this criminals working for France while their own people are suffering day and night. Cameroonians wake up and shine your eyes Kick Mr Paul Biya out.
So what alternative do you prescribe to remove someone like this who had captured all state institutions leaving the people with no avenue to challenge him?
Maybe there is a bit of Hope. This Guy, who says to the corrupt Leaders outside the Country to make Noise, which is a Code for "destroy something, cause a local Catastrophe to bring them to their Knees", so Military chose a wise Path, trying to prevent this
AFRICA IS WAKING UP TO THE IMPERIALISM OF THE WEST AND THEIR PUPPET PRESIDENTS. THERE IS NO WAY AFRICANS ARE LIVING IN POVERTY AND THE PRESIDENTS ARE LIVING LAVISHLY AND PROTECTING THE INTERESTS OF A FOREIGN NATION
Please just shut the F..up. Are you Gabonese ? Have u ever been or been living in Gabon? . Don’t come with stupid statements. This coup on itself is already a big victory for the Gabonese people. You are so blind and kept accusing the west for you mal-governance, for killing your people , jailing your opposition. Those millions of dollars found in Bongos and friends home, are not stolen by France. That money in just one house could have help fixing the retired people in Gabon, or teachers being unpaid for years. No schools , no universities, no roads, no airports. A country of less than 2millions souls. Comon man. We rather have another dictator than Ali . Ali already showed us its limits. We have no expectations no dream. We want to dream again. We want some hope .
Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea are the next on the list! Them African leaders want to rule for life. Bravo to the men and women in uniforms. I saluted you for your courage.
Now, where are we❓ The end of France's hegemonic rule in West Africa, last but not least. A significant event having consequences for the area and the world is the coup in Gabon. It is the first coup in Gabon since 1964, and it occurs at a time when France's control in West Africa is crumbling and there is political unrest across much of Africa.❗ Regionally, the coup might halt the "Franco Front's" advocacy of "cosmetic democracy" throughout Africa and put the Central African region in jeopardy.The Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), of which Gabon is a member, may experience a power vacuum as a result of the coup. ❗ A new generation of fearless leaders who are dedicated to real democracy and preserving their countries' sovereignty by peaceful methods with the support of their people may benefit from this.❗ The coup may hurt France's economy internationally and make it open more attractive to new foreign investors. Since Gabon is a significant producer of oil, the coup might stop exports of oil to France. The "Franco Front's economy might suffer as a result of this.❗ The UN has possibly begged with all parties to find a peaceful resolution to the current conflict, and the African Union may have requested that constitutional order be restored in Gabon.❗ What the coup's long-term effects will be cannot yet be predicted. Although it is obvious that the revolution represents a significant blow to France's control in West Africa, it also heralds a new era of stability for the Central African region.❗ Thank you, Al Jazeera English , for highlighting the current event of the downfall of France's hegemony in West Africa. ❗
We tend to blame outside powers but in this world everybody is after their own interest,if you cannot help yourself and don’t know what you want nobody can help you.
In identifying the problem, you must include the foreign element, or you will get nowhere, and be used by the likes of France, who reportedly make 500 billion dollars a year from Africa. If you pretend they have no influence on your country, you would elect a nice, responsible looking leader who, in exchange for French 'protection', would let the French buy Uranium at 10% of market prices while depositing 85% of your annual earnings in the French Central Bank, in observance of some dodgy colonial 'treaty'. So you need to ask these preliminary questions of your leaders before electing them. You cannot evade the foreign element.
Foreign countries are the prime problems in all our poor countries because they put corrupt leaders with their military power. It is as simple though corruption wise western people are no angels, they will do big financial corruption if they had been corrupted by super powers in the same way as poor countries.
Is this Lord Almighty for better or for worst for My beloved Africa or this coup is for more devestation for the innocient people. Lord help us to get the answers that we all so thirst for over 500 years.
The Berlin Conference of 1884 where Western European Countries gathered to and plotted the divide and plunder of Africa and Africans, using all and every deplorable means necessary, is still in place today. France’s financial apartheid in 14 West and Central Africa Countries; in the form of France military imposed Colonial Tax currency known as CFA Francs, together with France’s military imposed Colonial Part, which allows France to continue colonialism and financial apartheid in Africa; is what all Africans, and global citizens are freeing themselves from; and want France out of Africa.
Mohamed gadafi rule Libya for 42 years Libya was good alie bongo family rules for 55 years in Gabon but still the people of Gabon are suffering what a wicked world
People of GABON unite and rise against this family, or you will never prosper, they will continue to enrich themselves, with no progress for the common folks
This is just a power struggle more than anything to do with helping those ppl. The man is part of the same family. It’s naive to think a multi-millionaire will save them if he hasn’t used his money to save them already! Another 50 years to get him out! Where is the freedom? Let the people choose instead of a forced leadership!
But the citizens have being choosing whom they want. The reverse has always be the case. The last elections in Gabon is a clear example. The General who took over(alleged cousin), I believe is the one that knows the secret and easy means of removing Ali Bongo.
@@ManBtv700my belief is he did a fake overtake because Bongo was already sick and the general wanted to make sure the power remained in the family. Fake seizure of stolen money from son etc… there will never be a fair election unless a system is developed by inside and outside help to combat government corruption! Even then, the system will still be corrupt, but maybe some hope in change. Right now, there is no hope. The people really need to come together and make demands and develop new organizations to seek fairness in the justice system.
Love you Tanzanian girl, your analysis on France Afrique political situation is on point. The coup in France Afrique is a question of Who next and When? It is inevitable.
Gabon, please don't listen to the negative, because you are the ones who were living under this oppressive government supported by wicked France. I am so glad for your release and hope that all African countries who have neocolonial dictators to have coup. Who feels it knows it.
The waves of coups now taking place in some of the African countries will definitely make the citizens poorer as the leaders may not have the usual, access to the global communities. This is disastrous to any nation as the military are trained to protect the country and the citizens and not to govern. No country in Africa has been known to have benefited from coup. There is no doubt coups create excitement at the beginning and at the end deteriorate to hardship which eventually result to chaos among the citizens and at times civil war. We have witnessed that a lot of time these coup leaders find their way to civilian administration as opposed to remain in the military. Not all military forces in Africa are interested in coups but they are rampart in small countries like we are seen across the Francophone countries. If the citizen of these countries feel that they have been oppressed by their former colonial masters, I think there are other ways of getting around the rejection than military coup that we never get any support in the global community. Any country that openly support coups in African have a hidden agenda which is trap. What the military in Gabon should do is to immediately organize a fresh election that will not include the current deposed president rather than trying to hang on to power as some of the Francophone countries now under the military have done. It is unproductive, and chaotic as they are basically cut off from the rest of the world.
food for African on inside story😂 this is a in side job done by African who wants change # new military leaders for African trouble 😂long time black people waiting for this we need back our resources and cultures too..they wanaa take every thing for them selfs an left none for African 😢this is black people time to rise Africa wake up all in the diaspora unit for one cause our influence is proceeding whle bacra expiring slowly but surely. blessings to my African brothers.
Yes ooo, make noise for what, you are lucky to be alive 😅😂😅enough is enough Mr President go and rest Gabon 🇬🇦 is not your property, black man has a problem 😉 shame on to you ehuuuuu
I dont know what the Military in Cameroon is doing,they should mhave overturned Paul Biya by now to teach France who have been stealing African resources since slavery.Ivory coast and all others should follow suite.France will be a Third World country if all the financial looting from the former colonies is stopped.
This was a CMO - civil military operation and not a COUP as people are saying....research what civil military operations are about and what they entail to protect the people of Gabon - Foundation for Peace.
😂 These journos are clueless. The new junta boss is a cousin of the deposed president. He's close to th clan of the longest serving président in Africa, in Equatorial Guinea. This is how these western( AJazeera is) media have become, being shortsighted and blindsided of events on the Continent
The African rulers have let down the Continent, a family holding up the country as they craft family dynasty. Even people like Museveni and late Gadaffhi
To make noise for you? You and your father were in power for 55 years and kept on stealing. The Junta is making a terrible mistake by picking Ali Bongo's cousin as President.
France 🇫🇷 is directly behind Gabon coup to maintain power within Bongo family and control in the hands of France as usual. That why the Gabonias general has not condemn France at all, and that's why the military junta in Niger and Bokina Faso has not made any statement to supportGabon coup..
They’ll need to push for the unity of all of black Africa. All these places are not a country each one is a state of black Africa. All of black Africa is one black country without a black leader and one black military force to protect 1.3 billion black lives and 54 black states.
It is, and it will be a big shame on all and every African for any African country to use military against another African country. It is a sign and proof of foolishness ,and lack of wisdom for Africans to hate their fellow African brothers and sisters. Africa needs brotherly love to bring all Africans together for a common purpose , to move on to progress and prosperity.
Nothing cuz I didn’t know it was a country, and I’m not a moron I seldom learn of new countries at this point that aren’t new for everyone like East Timor.
Sabara Carla mashallah my people tell her my family I don't have to say now go to give us the glory our country with others my people whole our government help our government gammon our family I don't have to say with military in Gabon go to put bless our leadership take care our people soldiers is a life our whole hour people with good hearts so much my family
2 Mln of people and you can't solve their problems having almost everything a country needs to be a great nation after 55 years in power that's super fail
Europeans , Americans must start stop forcing their nose in African leaders , we know those old president s are good target for America and Europeans to explore , if the People of Gabon are happy , that is what matter
