Next up is Paul Biya of Cameroon. This 90 year old French puppet has been in power since 1982. Let that sink in.

The fool doesn't even have control of his bodily functions. Jesus Christ.

Russia don’t really have that much power in Africa(maybe in Algeria). It’s work of the past (Soviet Union )that give Russia the strong support relationship with Africa

Update:::

The French army is recognized as occupying the territory of Niger – Al Hadath

The new government of the African country has canceled all security agreements with France, which makes it impossible for the European military contingent to continue to control the supply of uranium and other resources. Sky News Arabia reports that France has been given 30 days to withdraw its troops. Recall that Niger was a supplier of up to 40% of the total uranium to France . The fact that cheap energy has been lost puts Macron in a position where he will have to engage in a military intervention in Niger to hold onto uranium supplies. By the way, Macron has already approved participation in the ECOWAS invasion of Niger.

Bazoum's ambassador to France: President Macron's speech was firm and strong against the putschists. The former Niger ambassador to France, Aisha Bulama Kani, praised the speech of French President Emmanuel Macron on the political situation in Niger, and Aisha said, "President Macron's speech is an affirmation of France's position in support of President Bazoum, This is consistent with the positions of Western countries such as Germany, Spain and the United States of America.

The EU is concerned about coups d'état in Africa, which will destabilize the region, - Reuters quotes the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell. "It will be another military coup - the Central African Republic, then Mali, Burkina Faso, now Niger and Gabon ... Defense ministers should think deeply about what is happening there," Barrell said at a meeting of defense ministers in Toledo.

The US is concerned about an attempted military seizure of power in Gabon, the White House said, adding that Washington will support the people of Africa in the pursuit of democracy.

Rebels in Gabon say they have unanimously appointed General Brice Oligui Nguema as interim president.

Gabon is famous for a country that is very rich in natural resources. This primarily refers to oil (in the top 10 in Africa), gas, manganese, uranium, gold... About 70% of exports are oil and oil products, while manganese and uranium are in second place. ** It is interesting to point out that the largest customer is the Republic of China, which participates in the total foreign trade with 36.4%, while most consumer goods are imported from France and Belgium - 55+%.

The African Union has condemned the coup in Gabon and is demanding security for President Ali Bongo Ondimba. Nigeria released a statement saying it would work with African heads of state to stop the "autocratic contagion" evidenced by the Gabon coup.

Man, these African so called "leaders", and their godfather France, are extremely wicked and evil people.

Imagine keeping this stolen billions of taxpayers cash in your house while millions of people are suffering.

This is Ali Bongo's son house in Gabon. He's been arrested for treason.

 

[mykey]

It gets worse.

Mutineers in Gabon appoint a military leader after detaining the president, alleging corruption

Mutinous soldiers in Gabon have proclaimed their republican guard chief as the country’s leader after placing the newly re-elected president under house arrest and alleging massive embezzlement under his long-time rule over the oil-rich nation.

Well if Gabon just threw their French puppet under the bus then that means that the Ivory Coast and Cameroon French puppets are in a lot of trouble.

Great read on The Bongo family of Gabon

The Bongo clan, which took control of Gabon and ruled for 50 years, their career was dedicated to dictatorship, corruption, and the defense of Western imperialism commercial and strategic interests in sub-Saharan Africa.







A consummate political survivor, the Bongo clan kept power by placing the resources of their impoverished, oil-rich country in the hands of foreign oil companies and politicians. Unable to resolve bitter internal divisions and poverty in Gabon, the legacy of French colonial rule



The father Omar Bongo performed his obligatory French military service from 1958 to 1960, serving in Air Force Intelligence, where he attained the rank of lieutenant. He briefly returned to work for the Post Office in the Gabonese capital, Libreville



The same year Bongo was discharged from the French armed forces, Gabon was formally granted independence from France.



Bongo quickly made his first steps into politics, using his connections in Freemasonry to get involved in the first election campaign of the independent Gabon, in 1961.



He managed to be spotted and courted by both main politicians contesting for power: Léon Mba and Jean-Hilaire Aubame.



Aubame favored a parliamentary regime, while Mba preferred a strong presidency. Bongo ultimately chose to side with Mba, who was also De Gaulle's choice. Before Gabon's independence



Both Mba and Bongo expressed the wish that Gabon could become a French département, i.e. formally a part of France, like Martinique and Guadeloupe, with the French tricolor inserted into the Gabonese flag.



Having lost the election, Aubame agreed to become Mba's Prime minister. But Mba did not trust Aubame and tried to have him assassinated in 1963. This backfired, as a military coup briefly brought Aubame to power in 1964



France intervened, sending paratroopers to restore Mba to power. Bongo was jailed during the coup. From this experience, he reportedly concluded that he could not trust the Gabonese army and that it was better to rely on French troops.



Bongo became defense minister in 1965, replacing Mba when his health deteriorated the same year. He was appointed Vice-President and took the interim on Mba's death in 1967. He soon proclaimed a single-party system, ruled by his own Parti démocratique gabonaise (PDG).



Bongo turned Gabon into an outpost to serve French interests in Africa. He helped France in its support for the secessionist war in the oil-rich Nigerian province of Biafra. Foccart organized the sending of weapons to Biafra,



hiding them in aid cargo air-shipped by the Red Cross through the Libreville airport. He also sent in numerous mercenaries, including the best-known of France's guns-for-hire, Bob Denard.



The Catholic charity Caritas also took part in logistical support for Biafra fighters. At this point, Bongo converted to Catholicism, visiting Pope Paul VI in 1968.



Bongo would continue to assist French interventions in Africa. In 1977, he covered up French President Valérie Giscard d'Estaing's failed attempt at overthrowing Benin's nationalist leader, Mathieu Kérékou.



This decision was significant: Bongo might have helped his Gaullist allies like Jacques Chirac, who were political opponents of Giscard d'Estaing, by revealing the affair. However, on such matters, Bongo deferred to overall French strategic interests.



In the early 1970s, oil became Gabon's biggest export. The country joined OPEC in 1975. To prepare for this, Bongo converted to Islam in 1973, at the recommendation of Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi. He took Omar as his first name.

 

[loyola llothta]

Gabon's oil industry was largely operated by French oil company Elf, now absorbed into French oil major Total. Besides a small portion used to bribe the ruling Gabonese clique around Bongo, the oil revenues were stolen by a corrupt layer of French businessmen and politicians.



Elf itself was a political creation, part and parcel of the France Afrique networks set up by de Gaulle and Foccart, designed to further French imperialism's interests in newly "independent" Africa. Deeply corrupt, it has provided funds for a variety of French political and strategic initiatives and created a string of scandals, most notably in recent times over kickbacks in France's 1991 sale of six frigates to Taiwan.



Former Elf president Loïc Le Floch-Prigent, who was convicted of embezzling millions from Elf in 2003, testified in court: “In 1962, [Elf founder Pierre Guillaumat] convinced [Charles de Gaulle] to set up a parallel structure of real oil technicians. [By creating Elf] the Gaullists wanted a real secular arm of the state in Africa...a sort of permanent ministry of oil...a sort of intelligence office in the oil-producing countries.”



Asked to explain Elf's relations with its African oil suppliers, Le Floch-Prigent said: "Let's call a spade a spade. Elf's money goes to Africa and comes back to France."



This money allowed right-wing forces to buy influence in French politics as well. Bongo reportedly financed Giscard d'Estaing in 1974 against the centre-right candidate Chaban-Delmas, and then Jacques Chirac in every subsequent presidential election until 2007.



In 1989, President François Mitterrand of the Socialist Party arranged that this money would now benefit both the left and the right, according to Le Floch-Prigent's testimony. He said: "I asked Mitterrand, 'Do you want me to cut the flow [i.e., of funds], yes or no?' and Mitterrand answered, 'Ah! No, we continue what was put in place by General de Gaulle.' And he simply asked me to rebalance things, without forgetting [Chirac's] RPR party."



Bongo thus presided over a system whereby Gabon's economy was plundered in the interests of a narrow layer of corrupt French politicians and businessmen. Reflecting its oil and mineral wealth, Gabon has a substantial GDP: $21.4 billion a year, or $14,400 per capita.



This is four times that of most sub-Saharan African nations. However, with these funds siphoned off largely by France or by the ruling clique around Bongo, the Gabonese masses remain mired in bitter poverty.



Life expectancy at birth is 53 years, putting Gabon in 198th place among the world's countries, and there are only 29 doctors per 100,000 inhabitants. Only 3.8 percent of Gabon's GDP is spent on education, ranking it 118th.



The UN's IRIN news service notes that 30 percent of the population lives under the official poverty line, and that "according to the IMF, Gabon's social indicators are more in line with those of low-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa."
