It’s an OPEC country with 2 million people. 😂how are they poor?
I love it !! Get the French puppets out of power
I’ll believe this one when they tell the French to leave.. Ali Bongos cousin is now President seems kinda fake
Going down the list…
One family 55 years !!!? Is Gabon a village or a country!!!
Correct. This nonsense has to stop.
He didn't win Re-election. Just like Joke Biden he stole an Election.
Next must be the president of Angola , he doing nothing also only getting Rich for himself and family
Africa independent is fake. We are still controlling by the western countries. Western countries are still using our bad old leaders. Democracy in Africa is no working for us
You arrive the end of your goverment !
You call them to do what to you ?
Coups in cabon ur men that is got
The world knows what the Cabal has done and all are going to fall.
Ohhhh better accuse them of election interference for questioning the results!
I’m from Ghana and though we practice democracy I don’t mind if other presidents of certain countries act as a monarchy . As long as u create the jobs and improve the economy. How can a country of less than 3 million and one of the oil rich countries in Africa languish in poverty with high rate of unemployment.
Guess who doesn't care!!
Gabonese are know free
Kick the United States out of your countries Africa
Africans waking up on the continent is a beautiful thing
Workers MUST own and control the means of production.
Africa 🌍 has had enough of the Colonialists and Imperialists. Best Wishes to Gabon 🇬🇦 and their New Government 👍💞🕊️
Angola next
Religious wars. Wars and rumors of wars. Prophecy. Haven't you read.
He did not win, he forged it ! He is a corrupt leader !
Revolution has finally come to the African continent. More family dynasties will fall, Cameroon and Togo are next.
Hoping for a new start to a same problem…. But they are willing to work on labor day
You can tell how poor they are when t here is no mike stand. Someone has to hold the mike
First thing I want to know is how corrupt this Gabon president is. And if it was a true democracy or not. If not, then coups are only a natural part of history and I won't condemn it.
