#GABON: The how and why of these horrible ritual crimes


GABON: The how and why of these horrible ritual crimes
By Marcel Djabioh, translated from French by CLG, published April 7th, 2013

Gabonese cannot recall to have been exposed to such a high rate of murders with organ harvesting, in alarming proportions as those recorded in recent years. It is believed that Lucifer has now built his temples in Gabon and his followers initiated its rites, gradually transforming this beautiful and rich country into a hell on earth, while promising its inhabitants, to transform it into a paradise.

Many people in Gabon, to gain power and wealth of this world, engage in the most heinous acts. Thus, owned by who knows what demons, they succeed easily in having sex with their own mothers, daughters, sisters, nieces and even their brothers, son and nephews. Ways to achieve this range from the simple propositions of large sums of money or a promotion, rape with threat of death if the victim dares to speak out about the event, and also through the use of certain drugs to lure victims or using the so-called “enchantment” of victims.

At one level, these crimes are said to be committed mystically. In general, victims are people with whom criminals (who order them) have close family ties, including marital relationships. Thus, many of those criminals do not hesitate to sacrifice their own relatives (children, nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters, and even mothers and fathers). Those so-called “mystical crimes” manifest physically in different ways, such as incomprehensible and sudden deaths due to diseases outside the scope of modern medical science, miscarriages, chronic anemia, fits of madness, accidents, and harmless animal bites turned deadly such as ones from cats, rats, worms, centipedes, etc. Options for the less brave are to sacrifice a part of their own body or mind (sex, rare disease, periodical psychiatric problems, public exposure with clothes off, pederasty, limb amputations, etc., and sometimes their own death). As they say: "it is better dying young and rich, than old and poor".

At another level, one where sadism reaches its height, these criminals go into high gear. Here their victims are outside the circle of family; these victims suffer the most atrocious treatment. Body parts and organs (tongue, genitalia, heart, blood, hands, brain, lips, ears, eyes, etc.) are stripped when victims are still alive, going through excruciating pain, as those who had the misfortune to fall into clutches of those murders. Some kidnapped or trapped victims are “delivered“ at the sponsor’s home or somewhere with soundproof rooms, which are also well equipped to handle the carnage. Crime sponsors (the ones ordering them) usually watch the slaughtering, before the lifeless body is deposited on a beach or in a bush. It is possible also that the criminal killing rituals take place in a forest at the foot of a tree of which only their “Marabous” (charlatans) know the mystical properties. Investigators rarely find signs of a struggle at places these where the body is found, suggesting that most of the killings do not take place where the body is dumped usually stripped with some organs.

Among the perpetrators of these crimes, we also have human organ traffickers acting without a specific order to procure parts; they just murder people, take their parts or desecrate graves, before seeking buyers.

According to the testimonies of some who have left the sordid “community”, to convert to Christianity, the use of the tongue, prepared with special ingredients, for example, gives whoever eats it, the power to convince any audience; the sex of a woman, is supposed to give you the power of seduction, while the man’s sex gives to those consuming it, the power of influence and domination. Taking a bath of blood is supposed to keep you young, while consuming (drinking) blood prolongs life. A part of the most expensive and most sought remains is the heart, which is eaten when mixed with certain plants. They say the heart is supposed to ensure to the eater, longevity, strength and protection. All these events to which the enthusiasts of certain rites are subjected to (that’s why people use the expression “ritual crimes”), are intended to help them access or stay in high offices (political appointments for the most) and to be wealthy, as long as they submit totally to those rituals, continuously enjoying life and their ephemeral happiness, at the expense of the blood of poor innocents.

Given the heinous acts that dishonor Gabon with the emergence of so-called ritual crimes, we can say that the country is approaching toward Sodom and Gomorrah, if it has not already happened, judging by what is happening. We are all potential victims, as the killings do not spare anybody in Gabon, regardless of political parties, whether you are from north, south, east, west, center or expatriate, neither you are a man nor a woman and neither your are young nor old. But, the only consistent thing is that in all the victims found here and there, dead and mutilated, never one is a member of the close circle that includes immediate family members of highly profile people in the spheres of power and business in Gabon. This is something that should make us all think seriously.

It's time this stops, and only the Gabonese “lambda” (not part of high political elite) as a whole, must stand up and say "STOP THE MASSACRE" and put an end to this nonsense. It will never come from those who profit from these crimes. Let’s remember this: “Those who accept evil without protesting, are really cooperating with it."

ENOUGH PASSIVE COOPERATION WITH EVIL!

#Gabon: Ali Bongo's party must act now against ritual crimes


Ali Bongo's party must act now against ritual crimes

Libreville April 7, 2013. Based on first hand information, members of the political party PDG or Parti Democratique Gabonais (Ali Bongo’s party in Gabon) will write a resolution on ritual killings. Lets make it clear right now: members of PDG refuse to recognize the reality of ritual crimes, which are nevertheless planned and organized by the members of this Party.

For being the political party in power for 46 years, PDG has full responsibility for ritual crimes in Gabon. Several personalities of this Party have been cited in ritual crime cases throughout the country. Given the extent of and charges against the PDG, it is very urgent for this Party to abandon the “law of Omerta” (law of silence) and engage in a genuine rupture with practices of human sacrifices, as means of keeping power and all its benefits, and to gain high ranks within the political elite. The PDG must officially condemn the ritual crimes and engage the party leaders involved - as executors or sponsors – in these acts of abominable darkness to be the disposal of the Justice system.

The PDG must let the courts act freely and independently without any interference of the Executive power, which is part of the PDG. In the meantime, the Gabonese people, traumatized and tortured by the death squads of the PDG, expects that all ritual criminals related to the PDG, who have cases pending in Libreville, Oyem, Lambaréné, Mouila, Tchibanga, Makokou Boué, Franceville, Port Gentil, Bitam and Bikélé, will be heard in Court: the names of these PDG members recognized to be human flesh eaters and blood drinkers were regularly published in the press and on the net. We ask the PDG to stop with the lies and with the protection of criminals and act now: From all members of PDG, we want a solemn commitment and unwavering determination to eradicate ritual crimes.

Original in french

Les PDGistes d’après des informations à notre possession , feront une résolution sur les crimes: une remarque s'impose à première vue: Les PDgistes refusent de reconnaitre la réalité des crimes rituels planifiés et organisés par les membres de ce parti.

Formation politique pouvoir depuis 46 ans, le PDG a une entière responsabilité sur les crimes rituels au Gabon. Plusieurs personnalités du PDG ont été cités dans les affaires de crimes rituels à travers tout le territoire national. Compte tenu de l'ampleur du phénomène et des accusations portées contre le PDG, il est plus qu'urgent pour ce dernier de sortir de loi d'omerta pour s'engager véritablement dans une rupture avec la pratique des sacrifices humains comme moyen de conservation du pouvoir, des avantages et d'élévation politique. Le PDG doit officiellement condamner les crimes rituels et mettre à la disposition de la justice, les dirigeants du parti impliqués en tant que qu'exécutant ou commanditaires de ces actes ténébreux et abominables.

Le PDG doit laisser les tribunaux agir en toute liberté et indépendance, sans aucune interférence du pouvoir exécutif qui est aussi une émanation du PDG. Dans l'immédiat, la population gabonaise, traumatisée et martyrisée par les escadrons de la mort du PDG attend la comparution de tous les criminels rituels du PDG qui ont des dossiers pendants à Libreville, Oyem, Lambaréné, Mouila, Tchibanga, Makokou, Boué , Franceville, Pori-gentil, Bitam, Bikélé : Les noms de ces PDGistes mangeurs de chair humaine et buveur de sang ont régulièrement été publiés dans la presse écrite et sur le net. Nous demandons au PDG d’arrêter avec le mensonge et la protection des criminels et de passer maintenant aux actes: Nous voulons un engagement solennel et une détermination sans faille à éradiquer les crimes rituels de la part de tous les PDGistes.

#Gabon: Union Nationale: ACHPR recommended immediate rehabilitation



Union Nationale
ACHPR recommended immediate rehabilitation


The Secretariat of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) has completed the investigation of the complaint lodged on September 23, 2012 by Paulette Oyane Ondo, lawyer (counsel), on behalf of the political party Union Nationale (UN) or National Union. It recommends that the ACHPR to ask the Gabonese government to take immediate action to restore the opposition party's rights.

The Secretariat of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) has ruled. At the last extraordinary session of this institution of the African Union (AU) held from 19 to 25 February 2013 in Banjul, Gambia, it has passed the ACHPR "Communication 436/2012." In this technical term hides the conclusions drawn by the Secretariat following the analysis of the complaint filed by counsel Paulette Oyane Ondo on behalf of Union Nationale (UN) against the State of Gabon, on September 23, 2012, before the ACHPR which Gabon is a state party since June 26, 1986. This complaint was intended to demonstrate that the State of Gabon, through its Minister of the Interior, Jean François Ndongou, uttering as he did the dissolution of Union Nationale, has deliberately violated the provisions of Articles 7, 11 and 13 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. In fact, counsel asked the Commission "the prescription of provisional measures consisting of the restoration of Union Nationale until there is a decision on merits before the Commission." In other words, it is pleading to the Commission; in this case, to asking the gabonese government to rehabilitate Union Nationale immediately, until the proceedings pending before the Commission are exhausted.

The Secretariat of the Commission (ACHPR) has followed entirely on this point. They asked the Commission to act in the manner requested by the counsel for UN. In the Secretariat’s opinion, after acknowledging that the complaint of counsel Paulette Oyane Ondo was admissible, because in accordance with Article 55 of the Charter and rule 93 of the Rules of Procedure of the Commission, is to recommend to the Commission first that this case is admissible and therefore need to be decided on merits, and second to ask the gabonese government to take interim measures until there is a decision on merits about the case by the Commission. "

The recommendations of the Secretariat of the ACHPR, according to many experts met, are "almost equivalent to a condemnation of the gabonese government on merits". To them, this body - the Secretariat - plays a role of filter for all procedures to be known as required by the Commission. Falling between the cracks are only complaints where violations of human and people’s rights appear obvious and non-controversial by the concerned party. "Otherwise, the procedure is automatically rejected," said a prominent lawyer teaching at the University Omar Bongo Ondimba.

What can happen now? The counsel, Paulette Oyane Ondo, reached by phone on Thursday, March 21, 2013, stated that the "commission will probably hold another session in the next few days to translate these recommendations into requirements and send them to the gabonese government for execution as it recommends its obligations vis-à-vis the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights of which it has been a state party since 1986. " If the session does not take place in the coming days, "the issue will not be included in the agenda of the regular meeting of the Committee scheduled for October 2013," continued the lawyer.

From those in power, one is playing a "round back". A senior political adviser at presidency’s palace, surprised and stunned by the announcement, said Ali Bongo Ondimba understands not take any of that into account. After all, he added, "Gabon will not be dictated its domestic policy from outside." This type of analysis, which stings bad faith, forgets that Gabon proclaims in the Preamble to its Constitution, the commitment to the values ​​promoted by the African Charter. As such, this country cannot do without the application of those types of decisions by simply ignoring “notes of order" of the ACHPR.

Counsel Paulette Oyane Ondo did not have much to say, as she simply dismissed this way of seeing things. For her, this argument "does not reflect the current global political context." Counsel states that the Commission's decisions are usually sent to the UN “for endorsement”. We do not see the gabonese government, which is heavily depending on the outside and which is chasing a good image of respectability at the international level, at a point of relying on NGOs like Transparency International and Reporters Without Borders to have some recognition, to try to resist for long, a decision of the UN asking him to rehabilitate Union Nationale ", quipped the counsel as a conclusion.

The imminent comeback of the UN in the political arena could mean insomnia for lots of people in Gabon. The Gabonese Democratic Party (PDG), near disintegration, can completely implode on this occasion. Just as small groups who claim to be the opposition - when they are in fact true "Trojan horses" operation controlled by the people in power to blow the opposition from the inside – will have great difficulties to prosper. The scheduled postponement of local elections in this context makes it even a more difficult atmosphere. Because, given the frustrations experienced by the population, it is not excluded that they will punish severely the party in power by throwing themselves into the arms of Union Nationale when rehabilitated.

People in power are well aware of this fact. And they will try to delay any dateline. It will be a waste of time though. In doing so, they risk reinforcing outside Gabon, the image that they have an unfriendly regime, and thus they will find many close doors in democratic regimes around the world. This is a risk "democrat" (sic) Ali Bongo Ondimba will not probably try to take. (To be continued).

#Gabon: American diplomacy dragged through the mud by an historian

American diplomacy dragged through the mud by an historian

Translate from French: «La diplomatie américaine traînée dans la boue par un historien», a written text by Marcel Djabioh, March 7, 2013.

From the last of my mother’s uncles, I learned that "it is by gesticulating with too much force that the bird is released from the trap, and it is also by gesticulating too much that the bird’s neck tightens more in the trap".

For a diplomat, Sir Eric D. Benjaminson is actually doing more than it should. And the image of the world's greatest power is found tarnished by an individual with questionable diplomatic skills.

Indeed, Gabon’s distinguished lawyer Paulette Oyane-Ondo, who was, at the invitation of the U.S. State Department, supposed to be going to the United States to receive the distinction of "Female political leader" awarded by that department and stay from March 2 to 22, has just learned that this invitation was canceled by the will of a clumsy and impetuous diplomat who obviously does not hide his relationship with the corrupt regime in power in Gabon. As an excuse, his argument stands flat and empty as an empty sack can do. According to this historian of the University of Oregon, this invitation was «politicized» by the press. But damn! How can he take the Gabonese for less than nothing brandishing an argument as fallacious and contradictory? Is it not to receive the distinction of "Female Political Leader" that Ms. Paulette Oyane Ondo was invited? Who really politicized this issue? The press or the «seaside palace» (Bongo’s presidence palace in Libreville) in which his excellence does not miss an opportunity to make allegiance with whom he teams up well?




From the last of my mother’s uncles, I learned that: "roosters with ringworms on their crests often contaminate healthy roosters with ringworm." And now a diplomat representing one of the most democratic state in the world spits on the values upheld by his Republic. Suffering from ringworm, the man still believes he lives in the era when slave ships poured black slaves on the american coasts where, by auctioning, each slave master chose his negro of service.

People who understood knew it well with the press release of the Embassy of the United States, just a few weeks after his presentation of credentials to Rais, Ali Bongo.

In fact, born March 2, 1960, and holding a degree in history from the University of Oregon, it is in December 2010 that Sir Eric D. Benjaminson, presented his credentials, accrediting him in quality of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to the Gabonese Republic, replacing Sharon Eunice Reddick, born 21 August 1951 in New York, has a bachelor of arts from New York University, also holding a Masters degree in International Relations from the University of Columbia, former Director of East African Affairs Office at the U.S. State Department, before being promoted as Ambassador of the United States of America in Gabon, where she presented her credentials on 6 November 2007 to late president Omar Bongo Ondimba, and held this position until December 2010.

Once in office, following the swearing in of Mr André Mba Obame, Eric D. Benjaminson who barely followed the presidential elections in Gabon in August 2009, had this statement published on his behalf by the U.S. embassy: "The United States recognizes Ali Bongo Ondimba as President of Gabon. We encourage all (political) parties to respect the law and the Constitution of Gabon (he had not even had time to read it), to exercise restraint and to encourage dialogue"; a statement of two paragraphs, without details and inoportun, already betraying his choice for one side. For him, democracy, human rights and good governance and the welfare Gabonese account for cat pee.

The man who does not like things to be politicized has not bothered to address some of the opposition parties as "Violent Parties", closing his eyes as a crocodile biting its prey, on the violence of regime in power which began at before the «Cité de la démocratie» (Gabon’s Conference center, so-called City of Democracy), against presidential candidates, before continuing with cruelty to Port-Gentil where the dead were counted by dozens and wounded by bullets.

How many died due to the violence of the unarmed opposition, His Excellency has counted since December 2010? What does he think about the victims of violence of the PDG’s (ruling party) system following attacks of red berets (loyal army of the regime) to UNDP office (where opposition leaders where barricaded) and «Cocotiers» square? Does this man read the press that he accuses of having shamelessly politicized the invitation to Paulette Oyane Ondo, to know about the number of Gabonese found dead and decapitated, and for which no investigation has been done since he is in Gabon? Can he objectively and with intellectual honesty say that the 2011 elections of members of the national assembly that took place under his eyes, had been conducted according to the rules of art (democratically)? And His Excellency defends the interests of his former university which will use gabonese taxpayer money, for we don’t know what real utility, through an agreement of fooled, signed on the back of the Gabonese Parliament, sorry, the «pédégiste» parliament.

And violation of academic freedom; and violence suffered by students who have had as only fault that they demand better treatment or studying conditions; His Excellency obviously doesn’t care.



Overall, it is necessary to thank the Ambassador of the greatest world power and one of the largest democracy for allowing us to reveal to the whole world, what the regime in power in Gabon could have hidden, namely, its autocracy and perpetual violation of the human rights. Long live the «Erico-Alian» (Eric and Ali) friendship and long live USA-Gabon relations. Congratulations to Mr «Quality» Ambassador. President Obama can maintain him at this position until the end of his term and recommend him to his successor to the benefit of the influence of the USA foreign policy.

We are far from the time of great diplomats like Henry Kissinger!
