In this book, the author offers a poignant and uncompromising analysis of Gabon's socio-political situation. The author's aim is not to create controversy or sensationalism. The aim is to make the country's authorities aware of the mistakes they are making on a daily basis in the management of public affairs, and which are having a major negative impact on the future of thousands of people.Rather than considering this book as a tool for the prosecution, the Gabonese authorities would do well to reflect on it and use it as a barometer, as it represents the cry of distress of many Gabonese people.Ultimately, this book is exceptional in that it is the work of a Gabonese, a member of the society under scrutiny. As the author so aptly puts it, taking into account even one of the concerns raised here would already be the beginning of a solution.
