    Getting rid of colonialism is a good step toward Africa as its own continent . You should have your own money backed up with all the gold and minerals that you have. In few decades you would become number one continent in prosperity and thriving. All you have to do is get rid of the shackles from France , Britain , USA .

    Fake coup. I see France at work behind the scenes. He is of the Bongo family, wi i believe he is being put there to keep the status quo. Lets see if he will implement anti France policies to stop the flow of weath and natural resources to France.
