I spent several years in gabon when my father was shifted there. And true the west views dictators as the devil , but Bongo wasn’t as evil as this makes you think. Also Janice’s comments reminded me of Inge and I looked her up , and here is what she had to say about the death of her father in law.

It is true , they did have a lot of money but no other African country can boast of as much peace as Gabon had seen. I looked up per capita earnings and it is higher than most other nations in the world. I don’t like dictators, but President Bongo s responsible for building Gabon. I was born in Gabon then I moved to the States and I don’t think any other country has had such long lasting peace despite having so many different tribes. His death was a great loss for Gabon.

He is married to an American Inge Bongo, but he recently got a second wife in Gabon. Laws for common people don’t apply to their kings I suppose.

If the dictator hadn’t died, he could have lived in the lap of luxury in any Western country. The West will forget any sin as long as you don’t forget to bring your cash…..
